This is a very interesting and disturbing read, but I’m not sure that you can connect the dots as neatly as you propose. Yes, it does make sense that the cohort you describe would choose Trump over Hillary in 2016, but to continue to fervently support him after he fully exposed himself to be the self serving sociopath that he is does not make sense in the context of your thesis. Trump continues to grift millions of dollars from his supporters by perpetuating lies that validate their sense of grievance. Yet, he has replaced the banks and mortgage service companies as the engine for draining their bank accounts, and his amoral acolytes are eagerly queued up to the same cash trough as the villains you describe. It’s just a new bunch of villains now. They’re never in short supply.
