No, it's the fault of stupid bigots that are mad that they can't be as bigoted as they like without judgement and other ignorant people that are foolish enough to vote without knowing the facts.

People who voted for Trump as a protest are ****ing idiots because now he's laying waste to the Healthcare reform that they depend on and he'll likely give all the power back to the Insurance companies because he's a corporate ***** through and through. But hey, he made some people feel like their racism was validated so who cares about that?

Protest votes as a whole are ****ing moronic.

I think you maybe slightly missing the point.Most people aren't so obsessive about left/right etc.I don't think they're starting to lean more right wing just to spite the left(although some undoubtedly will be) but because they see what a mess the current politicians are making.They feel let down and disenfranchised so they are reaching out for something new and different.After all if the current governments are already ****ing everything up then what's to lose?Things may actually change.
I think the far right is the wrong choice.I think "far" anything is the wrong choice tbh.
But with such a small choice and no real sensible centre ground options people have to make the best of what they have to work with.

Also politics seems to be like a tug of war.People get sick of the current state and lean the opposite way.
I think that may be a big part of why Corbyn got so many votes.
