Probably one of a few things.
But most likely, imo, is that the average Joe is just way less politically engaged or aware, then you and your peers. They don't see all the bullshit, bigotry, obvious lies, the way R policies will fuck them over. They just know times are tough, prices are high and "right wing dude said he'd fix it".
