I've come around on this that only applies to some (a significant majority, but not all) portion of his voters.
It really seems like he got a small but very real and important chunk of low info working-to-middle class people who sincerely thought he'd "shake stuff up". They didn't really follow the campaign, the racism stuff wasn't a hook for them so much as something they didn't care about because they were white, but they really bought into a childish "Mr Smith Goes to Washington" view because they are so disconnected from actual policy discussion.
I think some of those people can be meaningfully activated, but the Democrats need to message it right to establish a way for them to turn on Trump in a way that exculpates themselves. Either it was an innocent but grievous mistake or that Trump tricked them.
