Racial prejudice, not populism or authoritarianism, predicted support for Trump. I do not need to understand the pain of white people who voted for Trump nor would I ever choose to break bread with or pretend to be friendly toward the people who are foisting the likes of Jeff "Beauregard" Sessions and Stephen Bannon on their fellow Americans. I feel no kinship only antipathy towards such people. The idea of sitting down and having a beer with such people is vile. Some of us have relatives who aren't white and who will suffer under an overtly white supremacist administration. I assume that when racism only has theoretical impacts on someone they can perhaps more easily commune with racists.
