What's even funnier is that his supporters don't care that he doesn't care about them. They just find some way to rationalize or deflect his obvious contempt for them.

@MHO999999 Isn't it a little telling that very online Bernie supporters got a nickname almost immediately, but we still don't have a catchy name for rabid irl Trump supporters? Deplorables isn't catchy, and it died after a week. Trumpets is pretty lame. Trump cultists is too descriptive and direct. Ditto for white supremacists.

@Telly Vin-a Marx said that Louis Napoleon was able to win so decisively in part because he recognized the peasantry had no mechanism through which to exert their political will, and so they needed a strongman not of their class to represent them, even if he rarely did - and that has been a key moment in the aestheticization of politics exploited by conservatives and fascists ever since. Many of the people Trump appeals to, lacking alternatives like unions and mutual aid, feel they are politically helpless and abandoned, that a natural right and power has been stripped from them, and only someone like Trump can restore their whilom glory. And by claiming to represent them, they come to see him as one of them, despite all evidence.
