His entire appeal rests on them believing that they are entitled to a better life than the one they have, and that the only reason they don't have it is because they are being oppressed by his political opponents. They don't see his behavior as pathetic. They see it as a noble attempt to fight powers so vast they dwarf even that of the President of the United States. You and I see that as absurd and can point out numerous contradictions. But they firmly believe that the election was, in fact, stolen. Which means that no matter what, one party or the other really is trying to steal the election. It has taken us a long time to get here, but we are in deep trouble and I have no idea how to get out of it. It is my belief that Trump's side is very wrong, and that a loss on Tuesday will force them to reconsider the policy of buying so heavily into a false version of reality. But we shall see.
