Thousands of educated, literate people voted for Trump. They are not all idiots.

And of course, Albaby's observation that a good chunk simply vote for "their side" no matter what.
My one reluctant Trump voting friend later said he kinda regretted his vote, but he couldn't vote for what he thought was "open borders" and "ridiculously woke ideology".
I tried to educate him beforehand. That's hard when we spend one or two bike rides a week together, and the rest of the time he's Fox News, All-in Podcast, work colleagues, etc. You can lead a horse to water and all that. He's a great guy, though. Generous, kind, intelligent.
