I think the larger reason for the election and Trumps victory is that he appealed strongly to the emotions. He demonstrated that the passions can Trap logic or rational thinking and he could not have done it without the help of the internet, social media, all media which allowed him to get into the heads of millions of people many times a day over many years, all the while repeating the lies. Right out of Hitlers playbook.

Living in South Dakota, we have already been advised that Governor Kristi Noem will again request fireworks over Mount Rushmore on the 4th of July. The last time this was permitted, under Trump's administration, there was a significant protest by Native Americans which resulted in several criminal charges being filed against Native Americans. “That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of the history of the whole world.” John Adams
