I found your framing confused by the "corrected by democratic means" bit.
Is your question about the nature of the American electorate (eg, Trumpism as aberration vs the norm)?
If so, Trump's brand of white male patriarchy has obviously been the norm from the start. And his populist approach is a quite traditional reactionary response every time America takes a step toward pluralism.
What is unusual is their effectiveness in destroying the democratic process.
