When you dont understand basic things like this, and you constantly vote against your basic self interests just because youre terrified of anyone darker than a brown paper bag, your quality of life goes down. You start losing welfare benefits, young people begin fleeing your dying county, nobody is voting to take care of the roads, and then suddenly the 1980s look like heaven compared to now.
You cant comprehend why globalization is overall a benefit to humanity, after all, the steel mill and chemical factory both fled to Mexico down 5 years back and nobody in town can find a job making more than 30k a year. Youre taxed but because the wool has been pulled over your eyes, you never see any significant welfare benefits. My family has been in America since the 1880s, why are Latino immigrants leading better lives than me all over? They took our jobs, Im not being a klan member and attacking them for coming in, after all the USA is great its no wonder they come. But why am I losing so much all the time?
Something nefarious is going on, I just know it. Where is the fucking money? Where are the jobs? I worked my goddamn ass off since 1989, why the fuck am I living in a dilapidated piece of shit trailer in a town where the best job is managing a McDonalds? Im not trying to be racist here, but why am I seeing blacks on tv driving Bugattis, and I have a $2000 used sedan from 2002? Look, my pappy was klan, I aint a hater like he is, Im just asking. Fucking McConnell hes fucking useless. I voted for that old piece of shit since I could vote and I havent seen a dime back.
Enter Trump. A parade of grandeur, finally: a man who will fight FOR ME. Holy shit, I havent felt this patriotic and proud of America since well, I dont know if I ever have. Fireworks, promises, hype, being gloves off, holy fucking shit this guy might actually care about MY people. No more funneling cash into universities that just take the kids from my county? We are finally going to stop them from coming up and taking all the good jobs? Punish the piece of shit corporatists like Clinton who have spent the last 30 years destroying us? YESSSSSSS
Now its years down the line. I havent seen anything change. What is going on? Why are the Dems accusing him of being an asset of Russia? Wtf, jeez, these Clinton types really hate people like us. Russia this, tax returns that, who fucking cares? My roof has a hole in it and my neighbor died of a heroin OD last week. But, Trump and the GOP has control over the government, why aint I getting help??
Enter Q. Q is the answer to whats going on. It all makes sense. I knew Trump was fighting for me and people like us. Of course it makes sense, the governments been lying about everything since 9/11. Hell, go back far enough, and the CIA been lying about every war and secret program since the 50s. COINTELPRO, WMDs in Iraq, the Pentagon Papers, rich people hiding assets all over the world, Epstein, Watergate, Bill Clinton and the Lolita Express. God, of course. These dirty elites have been fucking all of us and swindling all of us of our money to fund their lives of unfathomable wealth, perversion, and power. Of course Trump cant do shit when hes against evil and power like this. Of course my life has gotten so shitty since the 80s, I and my little town had no chance against the powers that be. It All Makes Sense.

Tldr version, a combination of ignorance and living in a small bubble allowed them to get grifted by trump and let them blame everyone else for their problems.

Sounds like Germany after WW1.

I need a dollar for every time grifted or sycophant is used

This is a stupidly massive generalization.

Yeah, they thought trump was one of them.

It really is kinda sad how sheltered they come across, their small town is like it's own country.
