It wasn't a deep understanding, it is/was simply a consequence of Trump's disorders.

The fact that mainstream society can't/couldn't process the deluge of disordered behavior (perpetual scandal), was an incidental benefit for Trump.

Trump came into office referencing "American Carnage" in his inauguration speech. This created a permission structure for grievance/resentment, and, eventually, even retribution (Jan 6th).

@RadioFreeTom has written about the "leave it to Beaver syndrome", but..1/
