Yep. I think it's because, for whatever reason, they want to. They see the insanity but they ignore it.

For the Evangelists it's all about abortion, gay marriage, the alleged "War on Christianity" and a president who finally echoed their "Christian Nation" mantra.

For rednecks, guns, militia and all the flag waiving hullabaloo.

For the businessman, legitimized, outright greed.

Then, of course the white supremacists seem to love him for some mysterious reason.............

In other words all of the people who've been ridiculed and ignored by the establishment for decades.
