I've noticed that conservatives are the most emotional group of people here. They whine, they cry, they lash out, they're petty, immature, emotional basket cases. They rarely use facts and logic to support their arguments. Why is that? Why can't they just say "Look, you're wrong because x + y = whatever." Instead, every single "debate" here turns into "But but but libruls are STUPID and EVIL!!!! They're big mean poopie heads and I hate them!!!" Their emoting is inevitably followed by some meme, generally one that's been posted at least 100 times already.
For a group of people who proclaim to be more reasonable and logical than everyone else, they're more emotional than the biggest school drama queen.
How did Trump win? It sure as hell wasn't on facts. Trump won because he knows how to manipulate conservatives. He knows that they aren't motivated by facts and logic -- that stuff is boring. Fear, hate, anger and outrage are their hot buttons, and he spend his entire campaign cycle poking those buttons. It worked!
He stoked their fears about losing jobs to illegal immigrants, Mexican "rapists," brown people, on and on an on, and spent the majority of HIS time not focusing on facts, but instead on gaslighting and whipping up existing fears to a fever pitch.
Trump knew something that few other people know -- that conservatives are highly emotional and actually aren't persuaded with facts and reason. Hit those emotions though, and you become their new savior.
