Don’t give him that much credit. Those people have always wanted this, Trump was just a mouthpiece they could organize around.
The US has always been split between people who want to make things better, and assholes. It’s no different today than it was during the revolution, in the antebellum decades, during the Civil War and Reconstruction, the Gilded Age, the Great Depression, McCarthyism, civil rights, Nixon, Reaganomics, impeachment over a blowjob, Patriot Act …
Less than half and always shrinking, but the assholes have always had a large enough majority to demand that the scales be tipped in their favor. Electoral college gives more weight to rural states, the Missouri Compromise extended empowerment of slavers. The assholes are always threatening to take their ball and go home, and they tried it in 1860.

Everyone forgets about “of the people, for the people”. Half of Americans are getting exactly what they want.
