"Donald Trump’s presidency associated with significant changes in the topography of prejudice in the United States"
"A series of 13 studies with over 10,000 participants tested the change in Americans’ prejudice following the presidency of Donald Trump. The researchers found that explicit racial and religious prejudice increased amongst Trump’s supporters, while prejudice decreased among those who opposed him"
"In recent decades, there has been a downward trend in prejudice toward racial and religious minorities. However, studies suggest that racial and religious prejudice had a critical role in Trump’s presidential victory. That increase in prejudice reflected the increased acceptability of expressing prejudice"
"Trump supporters perceived that expressing prejudice had become more acceptable since his election, and this perception predicted greater personal prejudice among them. As well, experimentally leading participants to feel that Trump supporters approved of his controversial rhetoric significantly increased Trump supporters personal expressions of prejudice.”

Really didn't need a study to see that, what would else would be fitting given they elected a guy whose first notice in politics was echoing that America's first Black President wasn't legitimate because he was born in Kenya and referred to white nationalists "as very nice people"
