For probably 2/3 it's some sort of cognitive dissonance that allows them to ignore his lunacy. Drove by a yard with Trump signs yesterday that also had signs saying
"We no longer have a difference in political opinion, we have a difference in morality" as well as something stupid like "Make America Healthy Again". These sentiments are so far removed from reality it bottles ones mind. So yeah, these are c clearly truly stupid people, but they probably aren't horrible people.
But if the 2/3 number is right, there is still more than 25M who think he is godlike.
Its so strange. Talking with a client the other day and she asked if I had voted yet. I said we aren't eligible to be citizens until the spring so can't vote this time. She said we'll that must be wrong because all these illegals are voting. I said no they aren't. Some places allow non citizens to vote in local elections, but to vote in a federal election you have to be an American citizen. And she is like I'm sorry, you are wrong - they talk about these things on these podcasts I listen to.
The glorious information age.
