I think it's pretty naive to think that the only people to vote for, campaign for, and work for Trump were "dumb". Plenty of "smart" people made decisions between supporting, campaigning for, working for, or defending his campaign and administration because the things that are bad about him don't really affect (or benefit) their own interests.

Yes, approximately 2-3% of the population are sociopaths, who are only self-interested.

Another huge portion or of the population really just care about getting wealthy, with litter regard for anything else.

Seriously, if you want to be rich, all you have to do is be somewhat bright and willing to be a Republican political operative.

See Madison Cawthorn, Marjorie Taylor Green, Sarah Palin, etc.

I’ve see it myself: some of the dumbest folks I went to school with are killing it in the GOP. Dumb as rocks.

The bulk of the voters?

Go and talk to them yourself. You’ll see.
