They are focused on what is effecting them in the here and now. They couldn't care less about democracy or the fact that Trump is a criminal. They like having a bogey man (immigrants) to blame for all their problems and Trump fed that desire. He also painted successful liberals as being out of touch with the everyday person. Lastly, Trump told them what they wanted to hear and they ate it up despite Trump being a proven liar only looking out for himself.
