I don't want to sound condescending but i feel bad, though at the same time feel a schadenfreude for a certain demographic that supported Trump-- lonely, insecure men. A guy I went to school with got into the far-right rabbithole and supported Trump because, despite being a brown immigrant, he is probably looking for someone to punch down. I have a Polish friend who is one of those centrist type that goes way too much into centrism. He voted a centre left party in his country after 16 years of far right rule; but supported Trump because he thinks America has become too liberal and also because of Trump's promise not to go into war.

Lonely insecure men are targets by extreme right to sow doubt, confusion and to recruit.
