Bootlickers loves 'em an abusive daddy.
It is hard wired into them. Just check out any of Abrahamic religious texts... Daddy big mad, daddy punish, you deserve it, boy.
To your point, I really do think trump's appeal is daddy issues. Religion is failing them, since anything you naturally do is a sin.
Abusive daddy doesn't ask too much of them (at first), and as you said, hurts the people they don't like.
I've never understood the concept of original sin. Catholics teach that babies likely go to hell (though less bad hell than murderers?), many Protestants teach that free will is effectively dead, etc.
What's crazy is that Christians apparently believe we can inherit sin but not debt, and that children of criminals deserve a fresh start instead of finishing their parents' sentence(s). Why do we only inherit the type of sin that requires the church to exist to eradicate? That's stupid.
It seems more reasonable that everyone is responsible for their own actions. Surely the Adam story is more about having the opportunity to prove ourselves and not the requirement to find the right church before we die, and if we don't have the chance or we pick wrong, we're screwed.
