From my observations interacting with Trump cultists in the last four years, I've noticed there seem to be primarily three types of them.
1) Ignorant or crazy people with a deranged hatred of both the Democratic party and minorities.
2) Women with self-loathing issues who have been brainwashed into believing their gender is inferior to men and that any time a woman is sexually abused it's her own fault.
3) Pathetic incel men with repulsive personalities who are unsuccessful with women and have developed a strong hatred of them because of it. They admire Trump because he'd be one of them if he wasn't rich. He's a physically ugly prick with a despicable personality who managed to get a hot wife because he has money. Basically, he lives the life they've always dreamed of living.
What do you think? Notice any other kinds?

But they are all struggling and will vote for fat donnie in 2020. because liberals are looney and are taking their tax payer money and spending it on illegals.

(16,254 posts)They feel they are above the rest of us because they are so forgiving and are following God's example.
Perhaps they are forgiving, but their actions are hypocritical and bigots. I have lost the friendship of a few of these types and they are sticking with Trump to the end. Makes me ill, as they are intelligent, but brain-washed. One seems to be a strong supporter of the Federalist Papers, which I don't know much about. Her family even hospitalized her for a while due to her extreme belief in Trump and warped beliefs. I think the real reason was because she got to drinking more than she should, but they won't admit it.
Such a strong, Christian woman...NOT!

(1,642 posts)Some people I know, who might have otherwise voted for Dems, were turned off to Hillary's closeness to big money.
One voted for Trump. Some others for Stein.
For me, the choice was very simple. Hillary was an easily a better choice than Trump.

they dont really follow politics, but they have been brainwashed into thinking that any Republican is better than any Democrat.

(100,097 posts)Mainly upper middle class types who use their business as their personal piggy bank and are glued to Fox News 24 hours a day. These people - mainly older white men - are obsessed with appearance and self-image. So are the women who they date / are married to. I know a few of these types as they live in my neighborhood. They love Trump because he is a symbol of said status.
Also the uber-religious don't listen to any other viewpoint but the Murdoch / AM radio viewpoints.
