Pretending it's solely "racists gonna racist" is dishonest.

It's definitely not solely that but it can't be discounted how much more comfortable it makes people to give a white guy control again. It doesn't need every label on it whether that be racist, bigot, misogynistic, or plain old stupidity. Simple people take comfort in simple things, and going back to having a strong man run the country is as simple as it gets. The policy (of which he has next to none) is irrelevant, it's the symbol that matters.
