Trump played into their base fears. Their loss of majority. There loss of control over the country. Fear of others with different colored skin. Humans have made little progress as a species. "I don't like you because you don't look like me." We're a pathetic life forms incapable of learning the most basic things. How many years of existance and we still haven't figured out our sexuality? Racism still persists!
