I think you're confusing an election with public discourse. You can vote in anonymity and no one has to know who you voted for. You can't get on social media (for example) and openly support anything even remotely Trump without copping at least some backlash.
Trump won because people have their own personal beliefs and ideas which they take with them into the polling booths.
