So, the people would have voted for him, based on the promises that he made, ie what he said.  Is it that they believed some of what he said, but not the rest?  And how do we determine that?
I understand that you want the concerns of the people to be addressed.  However, I don't think that it's productive to exclude the very real bigotry that manifested itself at his rallies, ie that was clearly shown by his supporters.
I think that we, as a society and as a Church, have failed to address productively the evils of racism, misogyny and other bigotries.  I believe that by denying their existence and trying to paper it over, we are permitting the bigotry to fester.  I think that, to a large extent, that is what manifested itself in this election.
