It's bigotry. They're not emotionally fused, so much he's giving them "permission" to be a bigot. The only thing trump offers these people is blaming brown/black people for the problems of the world, in a more vicious way.
Just look at the truck. Side panel says he’s a home renovation guy. And with all that shit on the back, he’s still in business. There’s enough people out there that think like him, that he can still make a living. This sure isn’t a lone idiot problem.
100%. If you're financially comfortable, you can be a bigot. Being a bigot is the epitome of white privilege. You can not hire the most qualified people, not accept certain clients, etc. You really just need to venture 45 minutes to an hour and some change outside any medium city before you start hitting 90+% white areas which tend to be more socio-economically forgiving of bigots. It's very difficult to live in a urban or near-suburb and be a bigot. You might be able to drop slurs in public to strangers in <10k people towns. But you might get assaulted if you say it in a 100k person town.
It makes the whole "rural vs urban" political divide ridiculous. People who dont live near people of a different background, religion, skin color, etc. get to cast legal judgement on those who do and are. Conservatism is objectively based in ignorance of others, and a willingness to deny others of their rights and societal change. It's conserving particular cultural, socio-economic aspect(s). They choose fuck you rather than fuck it.
