I think you're being unfair to the people voting for Trump. Yes, some of them are racist bigots (like white supremacists groups), however Trump struck a cord with rural USA. I doubt all are racists bigots, they just have different life style, and try to defend it from further deterioration.
This Cracked podcast[1] really opened my eyes to some issues rural America faces each day. It's not that they hate Hillary, but Hillary both tells them that everything is fine, and for them things aren't fine. They see no jobs and Walmart just waltzes in and ruins small shops, sucking the money out of the rural parts.
So, if Hilary tells them America is doing fine and we need more X, it poisons both messages. Which makes some sense from that perspective. If she's lying about America doing fine, then she is lying about X being good for country as well.
yeah after sleeping on it i take it back. trump to me is essentially 1/3 Hitler, 1/3 bernie sanders, and 1/3 orangutan. I think people voted for his 1/3 bernie sanders message for infrastructure, fighting bad trade deals, and fighting the establishment, and stupid wars. This was despite the other 2/3 not because of it. Hillary on the other hand had no reason to vote FOR her only to vote against the 2/3 portion of Trump.
