Some people who supported Trump actually opposed his most extreme policies at the time. They knew what he said he would do, and they didn't like it.
But apparently they hated Joe Biden so much because of inflation (this was a global problem for politicians) that they wanted to get rid of Biden despite their differences w/Trump.
This was very naive and foolish. But it was a common view: https://www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/february-6-2024

The only solution is for political parties, donors, and activists who support democracy to band together and create a lot more fact-based media. It will need to take many forms. But there is not an alternative. /end
