I think Trump and the divisions in the US are a symptom of the wokeness that sprung up in the mid 2010s, and that wokeness came from the humanities departments in US colleges who proselytized to and converted a large swathe of millennial graduates. Now a large proportion of the population doesn't care who they elect as long as they aren't towing the politically correct line which is being forced upon them by US cultural institutions (primarily media and entertainment, who were capture by recent woke graduates)
Source: (1) people I know who are Republicans, (2) check out any right media outlet and the primary outrage is wokeness.
