I wonder about this. It's hard for me to get in the heads of Trump supporters, but do they really, at their core, believe the BS? If they do, that's really sad, as it means there is no hope for any kind of reconciliation. If you think someone cheated you and they won't admit it, you won't ever compromise with them. I think we have to accept that fact that there is no hope for the Trump supporters, we just have to marginalize them and take away their venues for spreading lies. They are a disease.

From what I've seen, it's a toss up among the Trumpian leadership, but it's likely most of the ardent Trump fans are true believers as in all Cults of Personality.
Factor in that the top half of the socio-economic and IQ bell curves have often taken advantage of the bottom half through manipulation and/or intimidation.
Another factor is that, while the tech changes, human beings haven't in over 30,000 years. Same assholes, better toys.
