They don’t really think he’s the exception or that he’ll change. They know that he’s a sociopath because they genuinely believe that’s the only way anyone in this country ever gains wealth and power. They supported him because he effectively promised to be their sociopath, their voice. They just want to see him spend four years sticking it to the “Coastal Elites” and anyone who isn’t a “Real American,” even if they know there’s a good chance they too will get screwed over in the process. They’re suckers for this con man promising to restore them to their rightful place at the front of the line, but they’re desperate and spiteful enough that they’re willing suckers.
