He's brash and speaks his mind, which draws people in. Does it matter that he sounds like a clown? No, if anything it helps because he doesn't sound like a politician with their cookie cutter corporate responses to everything.

Invoking tribalism with propaganda and cult of personality. Playing into people's prejudices and saying anyone who challenges them is wrong, and is "liberal elite agenda". Then using said "agenda" as a strawman for any issue to invoke an emotional response from a demographic that typically has less access to higher education. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Poor people look up to rich people because they want to hold out hope that they'll be rich one day. They don't realize it's those same rich people they look up to are the ones pushing to prevent that from happening.
That, plus racists like the racist things he says. --- I edit video games into full length movies https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMB_lYcuWDU0ZiK4cZz5QdVNOX4W3iS3R ... Copied to Clipboard!

The more educated you are the more likely you are to be left leaning. The richer you are, the more likely you are to lean right. The more religious you are, the more likely you are to lean right. The idea that poor people are more right leaning is a myth and statistics don't back that up, even when poor people tend to be less educated.
They also use social insecurities like immigration and racism to keep their foot in the door. Noam Chomsky put it this way, Conservatism is a ragtag team of misfits. 4 main groups that would be too unpopular to stand on their own teaming up together, so they form an alliance with each other and look past each others' flaws, that they undoubtably don't really like. These are the pillars of the party. These groups are Gun owners Very religious people Rich people Racists This was said 10 years ago, and the party has shifted more towards fascism since then, so I don't know how relevant it is anymore. The theory is that a Conservative is likely one of these core things primarily while not caring much about the others, but there are some that do just act completely out of their interests. I think it's a good way to look at things. I've known devout religious people that detest the way Trump talks about Mexicans, but overlook it because he's pro-life, and they've been taught from a young age that abortion is murder. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C_Wrt6pNSw ...

Other: Ressentiment I didn't know there was a term for it, but this is roughly what I was going to suggest. Trump blames something else for their problems, and without the political literacy needed to evaluate how valid that blame actually is, that's more appealing than less straightforward efforts to identify the cause and effect solutions (solutions that usually don't yield immediate results and are too complex for downstream effects to be obvious). --- This is my signature.
