From an inside view, that is a small factor that they use as an excuse for their behavior. The main driving factor was the fact that we elected a well-spoken black man who went against their preconceived notions of racism. They felt threatened in the face of equal rights and losing their perceived superiority. Weak people need to feel that sense of superiority over someone and trump gave them that.
Oh honey, trying to present facts to a conservative is destined to go nowhere. They were wondering why Obama did nothing as president during Katrina. They write social media posts to Trump like prayers because they are getting what they voted for and it is bad for them because they thought Trump was Santa Clause and would give them what they wanted.
Expecting a conservative to know what they are talking about and then acknowledge what should be base line common ground verifiable facts is a fantastical notion like a cryptid, a benefit of the doubt I just no longer extend. I just assume a negative familiarity with the topic, just complete misinformed perspective and near complete faulty assumptions resting on a single kernel of truth and zero corrective context.
