Why did Republicans vote for Trump?

I think there have been a fair few threads that have touched on this. But don’t confuse voting for Trump with voting for Trump himself. IMHO different people voted for Trump for different reasons: the Supreme Court; not-Clinton; protest against the elites; the arrogance of liberals; the abuse of liberals calling them racists, sexists, etc; the lack of respect; and doubtless many more. That said, I’ve yet to find one person who voted for Trump because he was Trump. Indeed, while it is implied in those who voted him for the Supreme Court choices, not one said they voted for him because he was on the Republican ticket.

As for Dopers, I’ve repeatedly called out Dopers’ arrogance over the past year.

And those filthy little proles took your arrogant, snooty, contempt and used their votes to give you what they saw as a well-deserved kicking.

To repeat a quote to which I linked earlier:

Trump looks to be a dreadful President and it’s your fault.
