What we are seeing is the creation of schema that are intended to remedy the cognitive dissonance that Trump supporters are dealing with. Their arguments are illogical in an objective way, but they help support an alternate reality that they need in order to reconcile their subjective truths because the objective facts make them too uncomfortable. They've been doing this since 2015, and I wouldn't expect it to end any time soon.
As usual you said much more nicely what I've been saying: They sold their soul/held their nose whatever to support Trump and now that he lost they can't admit it to themselves.
They got nothing for it and now they can't process life before they just believed everything he said.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
