tl;dr: US conservatives have been generally racist, sexist, xenophobic and homophobic, and those traits have become increasingly stronger in the past decade or so.
I saw an interview with Michael Moore around the time that Trump was becoming disturbingly popular. He said (not verbatim) “Trump is not the problem, he’s the symptom of what’s happening in the U.S.”. Wow. No truer words. I doubt he realized how the fever would overtake a country that was grown from immigrants, now demonizing immigrants.
