What I can’t square is why they (probably correctly) don’t see overpaid techbros as on their side, but they do see their bosses, and others even more alienated from their lives and struggles as in their side.

IMO, one side is openly condescending ("learn to code" / "voting against their own best interests"(sic)) and insulting (e.g. religion) to them on top of not helping them. The other side doesn't help either but at least pretends to listen to their grievances and says things to make them feel powerful. When you're struggling and miserable, a little sympathy goes a long way; far enough to put some very bad people in the White House unfortunately.
