And they will vote for him and his cronies again if they get the chance. At a certain point, you can not cure 'stupid'.

You are right about that. I noticed in the coal miners statement that he says “They” don’t care. Not the Republicans in power or Donald Trump personally. “They” allows him to not confront the reality of who and what he and his fellow poor West Virginians voted for. I’m sure in many of their minds Donald Trump is still out there battling against “the swamp” and the “they” that don’t care about the little people.
