I think a lot of them heard what they wanted to hear. Certainly few wanted to read anything about Project 2025, even though it was a click away. Or voted with their “tribe” and know next to nothing about that tribe’s decades long platform, Taco’s specific agenda, Project 2025’s agenda, or the conservative “movement” that underlies all of it.
Or they were simply racist AF and thought all the undesirables were going to be whisked away as if by magic and without any kind of visible consequences like women shot and children gassed. Or they thought he “didn’t really mean it” but he’s a miracle-worker on the economy…
But that’s because Trump speaks in open ended words like - freedom, patriot, illegal. People create their own narrative for what those words mean, and apply it to Trump and then are surprised that their definition doesn’t match trumps… I mean they can’t know everything right? /s
I legitimately cannot comprehend polls where people who voted for Trump in 2024 changed their minds.
Trump- “Hey I’m going to do all this terrible shit”
Voters- “I’m going to vote for Trump presumably because I like his platform”
Trump- *does exactly what he said he was going to do*
Voters- >:(

There was also a manual out. You didn’t even need to listen to him, you just had to read…
That’s the thing. They aren’t so good at the whole reading thing.
