I don’t understand how you could be dumb enough to vote for this idiot

I know a very smart lady (university professor, STEM) who voted for him. Church bubble.

As someone who did both of those things, be sure not to conflate educated with intelligent. I have met many very well educated, astoundingly stupid people in academia and industry.

I’m not conflating anything. I know her. She’s smart. I know a lot of scientists, plenty of them are dumb as a box of frogs.
She was persuaded by a friend to go to a particular church and she was brainwashed in no time.

You don’t have to be dumb. You can also be evil. All Trump voters exist on a spectrum between dumb and evil to me. I have known a few and they all fall onto the dumb/ignorant side of the spectrum. A lot of them are single-issue voters too.
But honestly, a lot of Republicans are this way. They think their party fights for the working class, despite clear and abundant evidence to the contrary. When a voting bloc like that exists, it’s really not that surprising they can be convinced to vote for someone like Trump.
