Very good question.
Ignoring what I said about "not all of them are racist", there are clearly many that are. There are also many that are simply afraid of the unknown. This is what Trump is playing on. This tactic of inflammatory language helps him to emotionally grab not just the hardcore racists, but also those that simply are afraid of change (change as in America becoming less white, and being more influenced by Latino culture). We could debate if these second type of people are real racists or not (many would say they are), but that's besides the point.
There is research that suggest political leanings are in part, genetic. There is a specific receptor humans have (I forgot the name). The receptors determine how we react to messages of pessimism, and messages of optimism. Researchers found, that conservatives will have their receptors of a specific type strongly respond to messages of pessimism, where as liberals will have the same receptor respond weakly to messages of pessimism. It's super interesting. There is also a receptor that response strongly to messages of optimism. Liberals respond strongly here, and conservatives response weakly.
Thus, if you are trying to grab conservative votes, a pessimistic message of "They're gonna come after you, rape you and kill you" will work much better than.
Maybe Trump understands this.
I can think of 11780 reasons Trump shouldn't be president ever again.
