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.

It was rigged! People didn’t vote on him

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.
