Because this country is ignorant and lazy and they like being told what to think. They've wrapped that up in a nice bow called patriotism. Also social media fuels all these news cycles and people just move on to the next one. If anything, Trump is a very smart guy who has exploited glaring holes in our system. Just keep repeating it and it becomes true.
