The elephant in the room here is class. Rich white men have done a remarkable job of goading working class white men for the past few decades. So-called rednecks have tended to identify less with women and minorities with a similar socio-economic background than elite pseudo-cowboys like Reagan and Bush Jr. There has been a steady decline of unskilled labor jobs and other opportunities over the years. Instead of questioning the US economic system, right-wing pundits just prod them a bit into blaming "illegals" for their troubles. I'd be surprised if Trump belived a quarter of the crap he's been spewing lately. He's just playing to the Republican base.
