They are not interested in reality because reality is confusing, dark and depressing.
Trump tells them fairy tales that make them feel like reality doesn't exist so they can feel good.

That's all they follow him for.
Feel good talk.

They may know it's a lie but it makes no difference because it makes them feel like they are part of the good, winning team and that's all they want from a president.
