The real reason for Trump's success so far?

I don't want to believe that white superiority/separatism is the real secret of Donald Trump's appeal. I like to believe it's because he's a non-politician, speaks his mind, can come off as fairly decent from time to time. But apparently some of his support comes from neo-Nazis. Call me naive but this New Yorker article surprised - I won't say shocked - and dismayed me:

The Fearful and the Frustrated
Donald Trump’s nationalist coalition takes shape—for now.

The New Yorker is sometimes too left-wing for my tastes - not because I disagree (necessarily) but because it's maybe too easy to cast its articles as anti-populist East Coast snobbery. But the magazine certainly had no trouble finding white supremacists and/or white separatists who are in a state of high glee over Trump's candidacy.

Does this surprise anyone but me?
