We humans have a very long history of supporting con men, sometimes even to our death.
Be it religion or politics these deeply held beliefs are immune to data and information and can only be shook loose by relationships.

They like the nastiness, racism, fear and hatred. And the right wing media ensures that they are fed a steady stream of lies to keep them fired up and befuddled. And it is such an easy money maker for RW media. Prey on the easy marks.
And I really think a lot of people yearn for fascism or some form of authoritarianism because democracy is messy.

Why such fervent support for a rapist?
The "apple of Putins eye". The guy who stole from a children's cancer charity.
The draft-dodging, convicted felon, lying, raping, weirdo who tried to overthrow the government!?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Is it because he hates the same people you hate?
It gets even better: Trump was just endorsed by serial Sexual Assaulter and guy whose brain was eaten by worms RFK, what a dream team! (The Rapist & The Sexual Assaulter)
Don't take my word for it, let's check in with some folks who know Trump well...

There is no rational explanation. Well, for a subset of Trump supporters like the racists and uber rich oligarchs there is a kind of selfish interest.
But for most MAGAs you have to say it is a cult or very cult-adjacent. Nothing else can really explain it.

Don't take my word for it, let's check in with some folks who know Trump well...Republican Tim Miller wrote an article that was published this morning, "They Served With Trump and Saw the Crazy. They Should Endorse Harris," that asks why the individuals who
worked for and alongside Trump did not appear at the DNC to speak out against him or to endorse Harris.
Miller suggests: 1.) They're playing 3D chess, "calculating that their endorsements would pack more punch as standalones, not buried in a convention lineup;" 2.) They're waiting for the political whirlwind to calm and are playing it safe for the time being; 3.) They're watching to see if replacing Biden with Harris would mean a shift to the left for the ticket.
But as Miller argues,
"Harris’s acceptance speech was downright McCainian."On immigration, she pledged to sign the Lankford bill into law. She promised to be unceasingly loyal to the NATO alliance, defeat China in the competition for the twenty-first century, ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, and take “whatever action is necessary” to counter Iran and its proxies. She even pledged to make certain that America had “the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world,” causing some lefties in my social media feed to clutch their pearls. Most stirringly, she paid tribute to American exceptionalism and vowed to defend our democratic ideals against the autocrats who are menacing our allies and rooting for Trump.
Serious question: If it had been Condi Rice accepting the nomination, what would she have said differently on the subject of foreign policy? Which brings us to 4.) Personal and political cowardice:

Yes. They think, or realize, that doing so will likely end their chance at a meaningful position in the future Republican Party. Their personal gain is more important than the future of the country, apparently.
I live in bright red Tennessee. The son of a neighbor recently ran for City Council as a Republican, and although his (local) positions match perfectly with the local Republican Party, he committed the sin of once working for Bernie Sanders. The opposition made much of this, and he was defeated (and a Democrat won.)
I’m not unhappy with the result, but totally cognizant that these people will self destruct rather than do the right thing.

There's also option #5 - they think it's better for the country if a Republican wins the Presidency, no matter what the personal flaws of the Republican.
Most of the folks who served in the Trump administration are going to be a die-hard Republicans, for the most part. They're going to genuinely believe in the Republican mission statement, and generally don't want Democrats to be able to implement their policies.
My personal choice would be #6: none of them would have been welcome on the terms that they would be willing to participate in. In order to participate, folks like Mitt Romney or Mike Pence (or the other actual high-ranking folks that Tim Miller mentioned) are going to want to be able to write their own speech and have final edit over their copy. They're going to want the same freedom to do what Sean O'Brien - to go in and tell the Democrats that they're wrong on a bunch of policy matters, to the point where the crowd is gasping and on the verge of booing. I'm sure that Mike Pence thinks Donald Trump is dangerously unfit to be President, but he's not going to stand on a DNC stage and say it unless he can also make it clear that he thinks Harris' positions are terrible on all the other things he cares about. That he's not trying to elevate the Democratic Party generally (which I think most of the other GOP speakers ended up doing), but that he's just pointing out how singularly terrible Trump is.
I doubt the DNC would have ever invited Mike Pence in a million years, and they wouldn't have invited any of the other ones on Miller's list without final edit over their speech.

That's kinda harsh, but not inaccurate.
