Trump's appeal stems from him legitimizing idiocy. There are a ton of racist, sexist, homophobic, ablist, dumb motherfuckers in this country, people who feel repressed because their toxic brand of idiocy isn't really tolerated by mainstream society. Trump feeds off of it and echoes it back to them. They praise him for "telling it like it is," when that's really code for "Finally! Someone in power is saying what I feel! I can revel in being an asshole!"
The only 'good' thing to come out of his candidacy is bringing a lot of terrible people out of the shadows. We have a ton of work to do as a society.
