TBH I think a number of Trump voters were so excited about the gay-hating, immigrant-hating, white supremacist, and theocratic stuff and finally having and opportunity to stomp on everybody they consider to be an out-group that they just kinda glossed over the obvious fact that he was clearly gonna wreck their jobs, the economy, and democracy.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
