Ford's unapologetic homophobia is only one facet of why his hardcore fans adore him. It's obviously a big one, but it would be more accurate to say he's small-minded in the same way they are. That takes it all into account, especially their hatred of what they think of as "elites," i.e. anyone who's not them.
That Ford's wealth makes him an elite in any real-life terms understood on the planet Earth doesn't really matter. These are small-minded, mean-spirited people who are almost desperate to have something to hate, and they're willing to twist their self-justifications any which way to go on believing whatever they want, reality be damned. In the world of politics, perfectly intelligent people con themselves into swallowing their own propaganda all the time...and these mooks ain't all that intelligent. Just like their hero.
