It's difficult to respond to something like this. You begin with the false premises that he is an idiot and that his supporters are a cult. Your language is inflammatory and rude. It seems pointless to attempt to answer you as you are not likely to respond to rational argument.

But I'm a sucker for this sort of thing so here goes.

1. Trump is not an idiot. He managed to beat an entire field of strong Republican candidates during the primary and he managed to beat Hillary in the general election. He, rightly, chose where to focus his campaign resources and targeted states with critical electoral votes and populations with whom his message would resonate.

2. His followers are not a cult. They are people who have been waiting their entire lives for a candidate who would actually say what they think and who actually appears to care about them rather than someone who cares more about criminals and illegal aliens.

3. As far as Trump's supporters go, we're pretty damn happy with him, particularly his America First approach.

4. He's also the first President in most of our lifetimes who hasn't gotten us involved in foreign wars and has actually drawn down our presence in foreign theaters.

5. His low tax agenda does great things for jobs and his deregulation has helped small businesses across the country to survive and grow. Until COVID we had the best economy most of us have experienced in our lives.

6. He supports law and order, something democrats clearly don't. This is huge to us. We don't want violent rabble destroying our businesses and homes.

7. He believes in local control and delegated power. For COVID his people made recommendations but did not give orders. For the riots he is offering assistance but isn't invading areas of social unrest except to defend federal property.
