This all came out before his bid to office and people still voted for him. At this point I’m not 100% sure he he won BECAUSE of who he is, instead of in spite of.
There is not much to it: he simply said he will hurt marginalized groups and that is all the bigots needed to hear. Who cares if my life is shit as long as others have it worse?
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

Works just as well for voting.
