Because they make an emotional investment in a symbol, then transfer it to a person. Therefore ab attack on Trump is an attack on their identity.
Identity politics
Agree with all of this. They take it as a subtle insult if you're not as far down the rabbit hole as they are.
That's why it's so weird that in my daily life I'm viewed as a conservative, even a Trump supporter, but on here unless you're into devoted hero worship, you're a lefty.

You confuse this message board with reality. And maybe confuse some other things as well, I'm not entirely sure.
Don't confuse flip flopping with doing what was needed to be done to win an election. He stole a play out of the Democratic playbook. And not surprisingly, about 10% of Trump voters didn't understand this. What is amazing is that Never Trumpers and liberals, who are smarter I guess, fell for this at about a 90% rate.
I'm not sure which side is more deluded, principled conservatives or progressives, but it's closer than a lot of people would like to admit.
Most of us just want a tax cut and national security. Entitlement reform would be nice, but we live in reality and don't really expect that from anyone holding elective office. Too many votes involved there.
