Everyone should read the book “Republican like me” by the former CEO (who happens to be black) of NPR. It tells about how mystified he was that Trump won and how he couldn't believe how stupid people must be to vote for Trump. It just didn't make sense to him. So he took the better part of a year after retirement and traveled the US. He mingled with people that he never would have. He went hog hunting, did BBQ, attended evangelical church services and youth retreats. In short he got out of his liberal bubble and was amazed at the people he met and how strong and appealing their beliefs and values were. In the end the life long uber-liberal realized he really identified with the Republican party.
It is a book that I give to a lot of my latte-liberal friends. They really don't like the message, but it does make them think, at least the ones that are capable of thinking.
