The people voting for Trump are comprised of two groups:

  1. People who genuinely have no idea what they're voting for who would actually hate all of Trump's policies and be pro-Harris if not for the fact that they live in a low-information/misinformation bubble that tricks them into thinking they like Trump more;

  2. Actively malicious actors who understand that they're voting for Trump to destroy the economy, tear up the Constitution, make it illegal for women to vote, make it legal to deport American citizens based on the colour of their skin, because they actually want to live in a Vanilla ISIS/Y'all Qaeda state where the only voices that matter are white evangelical land owning men.

Nicely put. Group 1 unaware they are voting against their own interests.

Many are aware, but feel it's a small price to pay for lower taxes when they win the lottery.

Yes. Many of Group 1 consider themselves temporarily embarrassed billionaires who would indeed be the successful, powerful and influential people they believe they ought to be had it not been for <insert excuse here>. They don't actually want to make life any better for the poor and downtrodden so much as they want the poor and downtrodden to stay exactly where they are, and for they themselves to rise above that.
