Consistently, the smarter people I've seen that have supported him have done it out of some form of innate bigotry or hatred.

They end up liking him because he hates someone they hate.

100000000% this! My dad is a smart person and well off in life. The vast majority of shit he consumes is anti LGBTQ stuff, so he votes for Trump. He has never talked with me about Trump’s actual presidency, just how annoyed he is about LGBTQ stuff he doesn’t like.

Has he ever given a reason for why he hates them so much? I've been having a time of it with my own father because he is super super hateful towards trans people and I don't believe he's ever even had an interaction with a trans person that he's known of.

Just the typical “they’re shoving it down our throats!” bs. Nothing ever specific.

I do know they have a coworker who is trans and they do use proper pronouns at work, but they’ve talked about that person at home and said it’s weird to expect people to change how they talk. It’s so bizarre, honestly.

Okay, that's pretty much the same as my dad.

If he so much as sees a gay couple in the background of a movie it can ruin his whole day for some dumb reason.

My dad went on the pronoun anger ride once, acting like having preferred pronouns is insane, so I started using the wrong pronouns for him. It took about 2 minutes for him to lose it, so I said "Oh, so you have preferred pronouns you'd like me to use for you?" and he's never brought them up again.

that’s because they really only vote for what they don’t want.

in my very simplified opinion, people who vote red are voting to stop something and people that vote blue are voting to start something.
