The Psychology Behind Donald Trump's Unwavering Support

How exactly are Trump loyalists psychologically or neurologically different from everyone else? What is going on in their brains that makes them so blindly devoted?

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...vering-support

It seems quite clear that the Dunning-Kruger Effect applies to a member of this community, particularly in his unwavering support of Trumpian economic and trade policies:

“The knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task — and if one lacks such knowledge and intelligence, one remains ignorant that one is not good at the task. This includes political judgment.” Essentially, they’re not smart enough to realize they’re dumb.
