6. I think it may the first time they felt "accepted"

I hold that most Trump supporters have a black hole of need that they have filled with hate. They are emotionally stuck. Their hate can be racism, misogamy, a general hate created by envy of any and all who are doing "better". So along comes Trump, at last someone else who hates everyone, who believes that because of what they are (a white man), they should automatically receive the great job, sexy woman, fancy lifestyle. So they found their hero, just like the fanatic who found their idol. Like the super fan, they have the posters, movies, CD's, you know all the "merch" of their hero. Again like the super fan, they want everyone to know how much they admire them, and will never give up a chance to tell you how great their idol is.
