I think that is what happened, yes. The ignored voting for change, desperately hoping Trump will counteract the forces that have killed off the middle classes and made all Americans but a few poorer. Still, in my country he would have been sued, not elected, on the basis of what he has said, but that may be changing: the party that blames just about everything on Muslims is the largest party in the polls at the moment, probably because of anti-establishment sentiment rather than racism. You get that thrown in for free.
I can't imagine voting for a man who has said what Trump has said. It went too far to ignore, however much you want change. Let's hope he'll change his tune now that he has won, not an uncommon thing to do for politicians.
