This is so polarizing, reminds me a lot about "sore losers" thrown out after Brexit. Where people voted for the ideology and not for actual political and economic consequences and were childishly delighted to win over "the other side".
US always strikes me as a very simplistic in its approach to things, and this is just a confirmation of it. Trump, like all conspiracists, offers simple explanations and simple solutions to someone who is unable to understand the world, and makes them feel clever and superior by accessing this sacred "knowledge" - and makes them feel like belonging, like they are important, etc.
There are, also, people who voted for him who absolutely share his view - people who hold the 19 century ideas about economy, females, races and society. There are a lot of them everywhere, but especially in the US.
Also, what makes me smile - people referring here to "the lefties" in the US. There are no left parties in the US, their left politically about level with our Tories. Gives you an idea about the "right", hahaha.
Re: trans - very surprising no one seem to mention the ideology blossoms in conservative countries, too (like Australia). It seem to have nothing to do with political views.
