I mean, we all know many Trump supporters like him because he "tells it like it is". There's clearly more to it than just that, but I can't help but think this was the biggest influence.
It was a large influence. the Democratic party playing identity politics made a large swath of those that used to be loyal Ds feel abandoned. Clinton only firmed up that feeling by not paying them much attention during the campaign. Trump capitalized on that and made people forget that he is a part of the problem as well.
