This doesn't explain the numerous people like me, who are not liberals but aren't conservatives either, and find most of the "names" accurate descriptions. We are talking about a guy who has made statements / actions which are racist, sexist, and ableist.
I'm with you here, but I think this is a consequence of some of the far-left crying wolf too much: people ignore claims of legitimate racism, misogyny and ableism because the word has been watered down so much. A lot of righties even take pride in being called a racist when they aren't saying or doing anything racist at all. When you water those terms down so much that they mean everything, they mean nothing and I think that's what happened.
But even then, there seems to be a really heavy cognitive dissonance going on with some of the people who voted for Trump. In all seriousness: my sister-in-law, from day one has been a big Trump supporter. This is despite the fact that she is in what amounts to a sham-marriage with an undocumented immigrant for the sake of getting him a green card. I'm completely serious on both these things. She wasn't exactly paying attention when he started his campaign by calling the guy a drug dealer/rapist and she hasn't exactly paid attention while he's spent the rest of his campaign continuing to say horrible things about him and his family.
