The success of the huckster may be due in part to the appeal of his pitch, moreso to the susceptibility of his marks.
We are prone to believe what we want (and are preconditioned) to believe, no matter how far-fetched. The manipulators, exploiters, and deceivers know that.
Worse than the mindless minions who tag along with their eyes shut are the unprincipled partisans who blindly follow with their eyes wide open.
Take neediness, add naivete--you have a victim-in-waiting.
