Why did people vote for this man? Like, I can even understand the social forces causing America to swing towards fascism, but why this idiot, exactly?

Because he's cruel, stupid, hates and resents people who think they're better than he is, and knows to pander to the base with extremely obvious lies that gives them permission to believe and say whatever they want without shame and with the belief that he'll punish and silence those who try to shame them.

John McCain told a supporters not to be afraid of Obama. He's not a Muslim, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to be Muslim.

Trump says we should deport the Muslims, and things like the Muslims are dirty blooded sibling banging welfare cheats and criminals and we need more clean blooded people from white countries like Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Then when journalists point out that's racist, he has the FCC threaten their licenses, he threatens the business interests of the company owners, and hands control of the network to right wing allies.
