and the time necessary to dig into a bunch of dubious claims by a politician who is likely lying to you is beyond what's reasonable for a person working a full-time job with a family or anything vaguely resembling a social life

Then the institutions that are supposed to do the fact checking for you, to solve this problem, are blatantly lying and will tell you that inflation hasn't been that bad when it's essentially impossible for the majority of non-homeowners to ever own a home. So there's no one to trust, and these people perceive the liberals as smarmy condescending douches, so it's not a difficult logical leap to see why they end up voting Trump.
