the loyal shadow who decides whether a leader is a visionary or just a guy walking weird.
means A person who supports, accompanies, or pays attention to someone — whether a leader, a cause, or an online account they keep tabs on.
from From Old English folgere, 'an attendant or servant,' built on folgian, 'to accompany, pursue, attend to.' For most of its life it meant a real body trailing behind a real person; the social-media sense — a number you watch climb — is a thoroughly modern stretch of that same old idea of trailing along after someone.
