I think secretly there are a lot of Trump supporters that know this.
They also know that Trump hates the same people they do, and that's all that matters to them. That and being told what they want to hear and not the truth. The lies coddle their little feelings. As long as Trump and Republicans in general hurt the people they don't like slightly more than them that's all that matters to those people. They loved it when they were in control and could be part of the group that was subjugating people. The mere idea that demographic changes might make them lose power makes them lose their shit even when they never cared about other groups other than themselves when they should have. They will demagogue others and invent scenarios where all those "others" are out to get them because their world view requires them to live in fear all while trying to act tough and macho.
Then you got the people that support Trump because they think they will get somewhat favorable tax breaks or other monetary benefits (and even this is not true unless they're rich), or that will sell everybody out because of an extremely small chance they can beat the odds and become part of the rich themselves, and that's all that matters to them, and they will forgive any other despicable things Republicans do. They look for ever more reasons to find a false moral justification to their abject selfishness. Those people are pretty much as bad as the former.
Then you got what I like to call the voters that support those type of politicians because they are single issue voters or at least a handful of issue voters past the point of all common sense, dignity, and sanity. They are the people that will literally mortgage out their children's future and everybody else's to ecological disaster and normal people becoming virtual serfs to their corporate overlords because they can't get passed the Slippery Slope Logical Fallacy on gun control, or they don't like abortions all while turning a blind eye to their support of people that cause even more death and misery in the world and being a greater evil to the political ideas they don't like. They like the idea of defending life until somebody is actually born and then they don't give a shit anymore. They will sellout to anything that will let them keep a gun with a large magazine no matter how futile it will be to an actual modern army. Those people are just as bad as the other two groups.
I'd like to say something about rational, scientifically minded, compassionate, ethical, non-hypocritical supporters of the Republican party, but they don't exist.
