I disagree.

People annoyed with the fact that the world is becoming more progressive became Trump's core audience and most of his other voters voted for him because they believed he was looking at for them when, everything he has done in office has shown that he is only interested in protecting the rich and corporations which is why a lot of people who voted for him won't vote for him again.

It essentially came down to people believing the fairy tales that Trump was peddling over the fact checking that showed him up because he spun a tale that was more pleasing to their ears.

I think something very similar happened in Brexit too which is why you had Gove making headlines by telling people to ignore the expert opinions because they didn't like what was being said, why lies on a bus were so prevalent in the Leave campaign.

It's nothing to do with the left or the right, it's just that far too many people in today's world will believe what they want to believe even if facts show it to be wrong. People prefer to live in a fantasy rather than accept the reality of any given situation.
