I think, unfortunately, that a lot of voters are grossly misinformed and ignorant of political realities, or are political idealists who can't come to terms with how the world works. I also imagine there are some people who fall into that deplorable bucket and truly believe in what candidate Trumps says. There are some who simply are drawn to a strongman, too. I think there's a strain of fascism in this country that plays into Trump's agenda. For others, I imagine Trump provides enough scapegoats to absolve people of their lowered status. It's the Muslims fault, it's the Mexicans fault, it's Obama's fault, it's everybody's fault but yours.
