I realise what I am about to say is certainly not PC and to some people might even be considered inflammatory, but it's truly what I believe has happened in the USA and to a lesser extent in the UK in recent debates.

By far the majority of the political and media establishment have made pronouncements about being inclusive to all, and then deliberately quoted these groups - black people, LGBT, disabled, immigrants and more. What these establishment figures have not done is include the easily largest group of all and therefore the group with the greatest voting power - white heterosexuals. This has resulted in large numbers of this group being sufficiently disillusioned to vote against the establishment and this is what has happened in the USA and Brexit votes.

I will gladly say that I definitely do not include myself in this disillusioned group, but obviously many feel let down by the establishment, resulting in a backlash. I don't like Trump nor Farage, but they do say what many people are thinking (perhaps secretly for fear of being labelled as prejudiced) and attract disillusioned voters like moths to the light.
