After the apocalypse there will be 2 creatures left. cockroaches and their close relatives; progressives who find themselves smarter and more enlightened than people who don't share their views
You want data. Look at the map of counties that voted for a man who campaigned on tearing up Obama's shit legacy:

I think that's an over-simplification of the reasons people vote the way they do, canna.
When the Liberal and NDP parties in Canada wore out their welcome after numerous questionable or corrupt events, the populace there voted for Harper; a GW bush sycophant.
When polled about Harper's platform, Canadians did not support his goals or values; they had voted for him because they were sick of the same-old-same-old. Similar case in Holland when the Right was voted in in the 1990s.
Protest votes do NOT equate to support for a specific candidate, as much as they indicate some form of disgust with status quo, whether that be as a result of insider politics' status quo, or specific reactions to specific events.
And there were plenty of folks who said they voted for Trump as a protest vote, but didn't necessarily support his agenda. Never mind that many things he said he would support, he reversed himself on, just like any other manipulative lying hack in office.
There's many persons who have taken a second look at their support for him since then, as well.
Me? I wrote in Jill Stein. I won't ever vote for the lesser of two evils again. I won't accept evil as an option. Arsenic may work more slowly than cyanide, but it's still poison. And in my opinion, Trump and Hillary are both poison.

It is Trump who harnessed the power of the easily fooled.
Actually, he harnessed the power of the forgotten American. People forget he won union heavy Wisconsin and Michigan. Normally solidly blue states. These people are sick of the coastal elites looking their noses down at them. This is supposed to be a country where the individual matters more than the group. Even the forgotten man. These are the people who built this country.I don't see leftist out plowing fields, or mining for coal. Without the forgotten man your cushy little life would come to a grinding halt.
Hillary didn't even campaign in Michigan, or Wisconsin. That was her mistake. Calling half of the country deplorables, was a genius campaign tactic.
Check out this cool little vid of Slomo. He escaped
Notice the pure joy on his face when he does his thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn87-mcnoVc&t=518s
By any standard, some of those people at the Trump rallies were very deplorable examples of humanity.

The reality of history here would predicate that the "coastal elites" actually were the men that built this country, along with modernization and manufacturing.

Nope.... he fooled you, and whoever voted for him.
He made you feel heard? Do you actually know anything about the person you are talking about?
Bringing Hilary into the subject doesn't change anything, i could care less about her or which party won.

I remember how he loved the violence towards any naysayers at his campaign rallies.
Instead of red flags many saw inspiration.
I have heard him say some outrageously irretrievable hideous shit just because it crossed his mind.
He doesn't speak any kind of sense to me.
It's tough knowing that the world is watching, but tougher to hear people agreeing with his pedantic ego.

I heard someone say, i can't remember where, that he probably could have walked up to the podium and popped his little wiener out and the idiots wearing MAGA hats would probably be like 'He's just a refreshingly honest guy'.
