There's a lot of reasons. Some got passively sucked into right-wing brainwashing by Fox News and talk radio. Some dove into fascist Internet rabbit holes.
But my guess is most are people who avoid political news and commentary, don't really know what's going on, and don't really care unless there's an election on, and even then only at the last minute; and they're most influenced by the last, loudest message they heard before pulling the lever. Those folks stopped paying attention the day after the election, and they aren't really. paying attention now. If you point out to them that eggs are still expensive, they'll look back at you in confusion and say, "Are we still talking about that?"
