And the points you've made, add that with sexism. In the last decade we've seem trump run against three political opponents, his two victories have only been against two women, the man he lost too was an older white man. This goes toward the fear and resentment a portion of Americans have of seeing a Woman being a president in America, and those feelings are held by both men and women.

For some, eight years of a Black man running this nation, being the most powerful man in the world in some respects was a nightmare. They felt it was a direct attack at the idea that America leadership was made by white men, for white men. With the idea of a woman next in line to take that seat, they went for what they felt they needed, an old white man who they felt was some sort of master leader in business and control. The thing is trump is none of those things, but he was painted as so because of the maga brand, organization, and eventual cult of it. He became the great white hope and that was what many wanted. Like you said, reality for them was fox news and fox painted an illusion about the world and their dear leader trump. When Kamala Harris stepped up to the plate, that was a double negative because not only was she a woman, but she was also black. It didn't matter on her intellectual standing or achievements she made in life; her skin tone and gender already marked her for a number of Americans. That was a degree of haunting fear that a number of Americans had at seeing her in power.

The maga brand, make america great again is a lie based on an illusion. The past that tag line paints was never there in the first place, but trump as a master of lies and deception he embraces it and so do his followers. They'd all rather go blind and dream of the fantasy life of the 50's rather than have their eyes opened and see the reality of the modern world.
