Americans voted for Obama because of hope; did good times come about? I don't think so.

Then Americans voted for Trump because of fear; did bad times come about? Definitely.

You might be onto something with the fear part, but I don't think the hope part really works. People buying into hope can easily just be misguided hope and not based on reality. People buying into fear means things really have gone bad.
