Indeed.
Like Brexit, it's not that the USA is suddenly a massive hothouse of racism, but the politicians can see it as a mandate to be racist/sexist/etc. Whereas maybe it's really a mandate to bring jobs to the countryside as promised before and for ages and ages and not actually done.
But if the USA gov does a Theresa May it's just going to be xenophobia and empty promises.
The empowerment of right-wing, angry people in this whole process is frightening nonetheless.
