Even if everything you said is true - that’s still not his appeal to his base. Those are things that they are comfortable writing off due to his actual appeal. His actual appeal is something that you and most commenters on reddit would never verbalize because you’d rather stick to your simplistic worldview that every single trump voter is a racist, misogynist, etc.
Feel free to Google “what do people like about Donald Trump”. Nothing I say will change your mind about half the country being racist misogynists and nothing more. Just living villainous caricatures.
To summarize the first search result, the answer is christo-fascism. Trump has used Christianity to make Americans swallow fascism. A lot of them are also racists and misogynists.
Christianity, for sure. But maybe if you’re trying to actually find out what people like about Donald Trump, every single one of your sources being “people who hate Donald Trump” isn’t the smartest approach.
I’m not saying they don’t care about things. I’m saying they’re deliberately and in the face of plain, factual evidence, supporting a rapist who attempted a coup of the United States.
Does that make them racists and misogynists? I guess it depends if supporting racism and misogyny makes one those things.
But the racism and misogyny are anchors to what, for lack of a better expression, is trumps “appeal”. If they can’t see that, they’re either refusing to see it or are genuinely stupid, or are wildly misinformed.

So whyn’cha hip us to his magical appeal then. We’re all waiting.
