If all goes as Trump and his coattail-riders have explicitly stated they intend it to, by this time next year (if not sooner), the United States will be some combination of plutocratic and christofascist autocracy ruled by an all-powerful dictator.
I don’t think it’s particularly surprising or unreasonable for people facing that prospect to grab at any fleeting hope that might drift by, no matter how desperate and irrational.
In fact, that’s a well known dynamic among people with a terminal illness. Which is what all Americans other than the coming ruling class and their followers very much are.
