Many people are just as stupid as him.

Our society prioritizes trash like nft startups instead of education

Many don't really get to hear him unfiltered. Around T1 I was watching Fox and they at best had a text snippet of something he said. Never extra text around the snippet and certainly not the audio. Still many do go and see him live.

When I read the comment sections of my local news most of the comments are incoherent rambling like Trump but with more spelling mistakes. Its sad.

Many are, but many Trump supporters started out smarter than him but they've dumbed themselves down to his level in order to continue their support, I guess.

Some people will do anything to continue to fit in with their group. I don't think it's always even a conscious choice.

pretty much i know someone in my family, started supporting trump, roegan, and YE. and youtubers i used to follow did this too.

i think his supporters are stupider than he is, he has said how dumb republicans are on many occasion, but this almost never clicks with the voters, because these voters are likely never following up with his policies anyways.
