All of the maga cult did. Of them, many believed Q-anon, and the felon's campaign promises to release the Epstein scandal files. One thinks of Marjorie Taylor Greene as an example. It also included republicans that vote for their candidates as a matter of routine, including those who just were not comfortable with a woman president -- because they are convinced females are an inferior species.

But exactly as you note, for the vast majority of those who voted for him, it was because he expressed their hatreds.
