There are people all over the country who have broken out of those bubbles you’re referring to. It’s not that difficult. I did it and there’s nothing special about me. All you need is the desire for truth. The internet makes it possible to find all the information you need and you can access it for free.

Ultimately you’re advocating for empathy and that’s commendable but it doesn’t mean these people aren’t idiots. Trumpers are actively avoiding introspection, curiosity, knowledge, and truth. If you asked me to define idiocy that’s pretty much exactly what I would say. Is it helpful to call them that out loud? I don’t really know. Probably not, but some things that are true are uncomfortable to acknowledge and the truth is that Trump’s base is largely made up of idiots. Some by choice and others couldn’t be anything else if they wanted to but I don’t think that distinction matters all that much since the outcome is the same.
