Explanations for the change in politics (try to rank them in order of importance in your view):
* Economic anxiety, inequality, unemployment, etc
* Prejudice of various kinds
* Anger at elite establishment perceived incompetence, arrogance, corruption, etc
* Backlash to political correctness excess
* Decline of traditional communities that provide meaning (e.g. churches, unions)
* Raw partisanship means most people will vote their traditional party regardless
* Authoritarian impulse that was always there to be awakened by the right candidate
* More you want to suggest?

I'm not sure whether partitioning out these things as causes that sum up to one makes sense conceptually; it can be the case that both cause A and cause B are necessary for someone to vote for candidate X. When voters have 'multiple necessary causes' it's not clear how you divide these things up as fractions of a whole.
But in the meantime, just following a normal sense of how large a cause something is, what's your order of importance?
Notes
"Someone like me" ... ie. the people voted for Trump because they #identified with him.
People for whom the system is not working, people who have nothing to lose, voted for #change ... i.e. anything that would disrupt the status quo.
We should not forget that Hilary actually won the #popular vote, so the result doesn't need to be seen as indicative of anything very much.
Anne Coulter thinks Trump "adopted the most popular position" on every issue. "Its not about Trump, it never was about Trump."
It wasn't Trump that won, it was Clinton who lost ... Clinton was sufficiently unpopular that whoever was up against her would have won.
Eg. doesn't know what he's talking about, says stupid things, thinks there are simple answers to complex questions.
Eg. he's a bit of a bastard, just like I am.
Eg. he has some nostalgia for some imagined age gone by when America "was great".
Eg. he has a ridiculously over-inflated opinion of his own abilities.
eg. "just like me, he doesn't know what he's talking about a lot of the time, but he doesn't care"
"just like me he says a lot of stupid things without thinking about the consequences of saying them"
"just like me he doesn't know how to be tactful, and doesn't care much that he doesn't"
"just like me, he thinks there ought to be simple answers to problems and doesn't understand why his simple answers aren't actually going to work"
"just like me, he lashes out at easy targets when he's feeling angry or frustrated"
"just like me he can't be bothered to check his facts, or figure out defensible political positions, or prepare for debates"
"just like me, he's happy to win by bluster and subterfuge and lying and winging it"
There is something genuinely admirable about not caring how much of an arsehole I am.
There is something genuinely admirable about being someone who is doesn't mind how many people hate him or how much they hate him.
There is something genuinely admirable about being willing to "wing it" in respect of an endeavour that has enormous impact.
It requires a lot of courage, or else just complete obliviousness.
Trump. Right. Okay, the world's gone nuts: Russell Brand The Trews (E372) - YouTube
If you have nothing to lose, any change looks better than no change, even if in fact it is change that will turn out to make things worse, not better.
Trump promised to curb #illegal-imigration . Anne emphasises that that is not necessarily racist.
Trump promised to scrap #trade-deals that he thinks will open American market to cheaper goods from asia, thus losing even more jobs in US manufacturing.
Trump wants a #non-interventionist foreign policy , particularly pulling out of wars in the middle-east.
Trump wants to stand up to and protect specifically Americans from #Islamist extremism.
Nobody voted for Trump because of his personality.
The reality of course is that those manufacturing jobs are on their way out: soon they are going to be gone forever.
