My new explanation on why Trump supporters still stand by him...

38. This is exactly it

and has always been my thought.

People might recall that in the past, as far back as Nixon - Nixon and the GOP courting the "dixiecrats".... through Raygun manufacturing and courting the "Moral Majority", and the Bushes embracing "The Angry White Male™" - all during the Presidential primaries. Once they got elected however, all were shamed into throwing those groups under the bus and suppressing them.

But fast-forward to 2016 and a candidate who not only courted all of the above groups, but some of the most odious and obnoxious RW scum who were rarely "spoken to". And as he did this, he literally looked like them, acted like them, talked like them, thought like them, and was as hypocritical as they were and didn't care if he was a hypocrite because he was "In Charge™" and "Told It Like It Was™".

And key here is that he has NOT thrown them under the bus like his GOP predecessors. And he has been bolstered by the fact that his party has refused to do so either (while apparently backed by wealthy RW loons and a foreign country to underscore the lifeline).
