I think that the deep disturbing doubts some people have about religion have the same genesis. People don't like Hilary (hell, I don't like her all that much!) say whatever they want and most people don't react violently, but dis the chump and the over-reaction is similar to picking on a person's religion.
You know I think another factor is that whole White Anxiety thing as well. I know people have discussed this quite a bit-but I think a lot of Trump supporters have this. Not all, but I think a lot of them unconsciously do.

In my personal experience Trump supporters are some of the most sensitive people I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with. I have been blocked by several Trumpsters on FB simply because I respectfully disagreed with them and linked to research. It’s a really interesting phenomenon.
Have you heard of the sunk cost fallacy? It's very interesting and I think it applies quite well to Trump supporters.
