Social manipulation has been engaged on American soil for decades. Our political landscape has turned around radically in the last half-century, I know because I've watched it. It's a tactic for destroying democracy that's been done around the world over and over.
Of fucking COURSE people voted for him you dipshit, that's the idea, that's how nazis did it too, they gained popular sentiment through populism and shifting blame for problems onto marginalized groups, this is fascism 101, it preys on human weaknesses and mental backdoors.
You are vulnerable to it also. Everyone who thinks nazis or trump supporters are some kind of inhuman entity are themselves more vulnerable than anyone else. Educate yourself before spouting this nonsense.
