The reason Trumpism works is that there is always appetite among societal low-brows, the easily duped and the machiavellian to buy into hatred of the dreaded "other". There is nothing better or more convenient than blaming someone else for all of your woes and for this reason populist despots will never disappear.
Hate works on a significant number of people and we shouldn't be astonished that it does. We should just be disappointed.
