"In a painstakingly slow process that has come to define the speed of the Ukrainian #counteroffensive, small groups of sappers on the front lines are crawling across minefields — sometimes literally on their stomachs — to detonate Russia’s defenses and clear a path for troops to advance.
...Areas between 3-10 miles deep... have been densely mined with antitank and antipersonnel #mines and trip wires."

A low internal sense of self and a need to be wanted are what ties Trump & Trumpers together.
Outlandish costumes scream "Here I am, look at me" and Trump's penchant for grandiosity (ie inflating crowd size) lead me to believe -
These people were not shown love as children. The effects of this are seen in their actions as adults.
NEED ME...SEE ME!

From WaPo:
"Meanwhile, we found several media outlets that rank low on NewsGuard’s independent scale for trustworthiness: RT.com No. 65, the Russian state-backed propaganda site; breitbart.com No. 159, a well-known source for far-right news and opinion; and vdare.com No. 993, an anti-immigration site that has been associated with white supremacy.
"The top Christian site, Grace to You (gty.org No. 164), belongs to Grace Community Church, an evangelical megachurch in California. Christianity Today recently reported that the church counseled women to 'continue to submit' to abusive fathers and husbands and to avoid reporting them to authorities."
