It makes perfect sense when you realize that Trump is a symbol to international fascists. Let's not forget that after 2016 the world shifted significantly to the right, and had normalized fascist rhetoric to 30% of the population in one of the largest nations in the world

Fascism is a result of decaying capitalism, people didn't become fascist because Trump was elected. The conditions for fascism appeared in the US and other countries simultaneously, because the world economy is interconnected.
