Maybe some of them, but most of them weren't exploited in the least. They supported him because they agreed with the hate he sniveled, even before he came along. The only difference between the average MAGAt and their deformed leader is that he has more money and fame. Give them the same advantages, and you wouldn't be able to find a quark's worth of space between them and their dear leader.

Your kindness is why you can try to see the good in everyone, it does you credit, but it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority like him because they're just like him.
