It’s got to be the latter. While I’m lucky that I don’t encounter people who worship at the altar of the orange weirdo, I’ve been wanting to ask them “have you ever listened to one of his speeches?” I don’t understand how you could listen to him and still support him, regardless of your political leaning

Yeah. Seems like listening to speeches and debates in their entirety, or a basic understanding of past actions, should be a prerequisite for anyone to hold a strong opinion for or against either side. But we know that's not the case for the vast majority of people who hold very strong political opinions. And they're also reliable voters.
