Never understood it, but this opinion piece in Wapo is a pretty good description imo.

Millions of White evangelical Protestants will therefore remain bonded with whatever cultlike figure can channel their anger. As long as he reaffirms and amplifies White evangelical Protestants’ fears, he can do no wrong. It also follows that a group that feels so besieged won’t much care about a candidate’s smarts, ethics or decency. Faced with a perceived existential threat, these Americans are inclined to support anyone who gives voice to their frustrations.
to me, it explains how people that ignore all the lies and despicable behavior from Trump and his acolytes.

In short, the breeding ground that manifest Trump won't end with Trump... like a cancer, you can cut it out, but that doesn't mean it will go away
