Well, the calculus a lot of us Trump voters made starting in the primaries was that we were certainly going to lose with any other candidate, Trump at least offered a chance of "winning" (or not losing so hard, whatever; my local power plant that converted it's coal boiler to gas (and boy was that forced change stupid from a fragility standpoint) is not going back to coal absent a serious gas shortage and a lot of time, but he can in this area at least stop trying to explicitly kill off the industry, as Obama promised and did, and Clinton promised to, on the campaign trail (really, what were the Democrats thinking when they nominated her???)).
Note that he doesn't have to be "revolutionary" in one sense, if he's just another FDR Democrat like Reagan labeled himself as (albeit neither being viciously anti-business), that would be a huge improvement.
