Guesses: he seems to have access to considerable campaign money, due to oligarchs funding him (broken campaign finance laws) he has taken hostage the right-leaning electorate since they have no alternatives (majoritarian electoral system forcing a two-party landscape) some saw the exchange value of their labour disappear (and foolishly think the extreme right might help) some saw life change, can’t adapt (and foolishly think that reactionary politics would help them) some have graduated without any skill of political thought, because nobody taught them some live in social media bubbles Obviously, society is not well. A healthy society should be able to recognize a confidence artist trying to con them.
