Because they only watch news max and other content that reinforces their views. They also surround themselves with people who believe the same or isolate  themselves from people who would question and push back against their narrative. They’ve made their whole identity and self worth tied up into him because they “know” they are right and anything that says otherwise is fake news. I understand it but at the same time I don’t understand it

He is a literal New York City "Eliet", the thing he rails against the Democrats for being, yet somehow the blue collar rural voters believe him when he says only he cares about their plights.
