I honestly don’t know. It’s a theory to explain the divergence between polling numbers. I don’t necessarily agree with it but it’s the one that makes the most sense to me. But yes, if that is what is happening then stupid is certainly an appropriate, and probably kind, description.
The economy? That’s really my only guess. People remember how relatively cheap it was to fill up their grocery cart in 2019 and want to go back to those days. At the same time they don’t want their neighbor to die from a complicated pregnancy, or for the fags down the street to have their marriage cancelled. I don’t think anyone who posts here can really get in the mind of a Trump voter, but that makes some sense to me.
Also Trump Voters: "We need Democrats to keep Trump in check so he doesn't do stupid crap! We love him but we also think he can be nuts when he governs!"
I think those people are also stupid.
Who are these “significant” number of Trump voters?

which is why it's so vexing - every theory that my old man brain comes up with, I immediately swat away as irrational.
In hindsight, in knowing Trump supporters, they aren’t by default going to vote for the GOP.
But if they didn’t vote for the GOP and want Democrats to keep Trump in check, then why do they support him in the first place?
