It's all the same shit. The patterns are so simplistic and easy to identify. That is what made me lose hope. There are just enough people desperate to blindly follow a leader, any leader, that we, as humanity, will never make progress. I don't understand how, evolutionarily, it made sense to make a democratically significant amount of people incapable of individual thought, but this is how it has transpired and that will be the end of us.
Tribes were clearly an evolutionary advantages at the time it evolved. One can fear it has lead us to a dead end, indeed.
