I think the DNC hack was likely the biggest impact—and that happened because of mass media complicity/naivete plus massive social-media based propaganda that was almost completely unchecked, and much of it probably troll-originated. As with anything complex, it's interconnected.

If we're going to talk about this then we should probably include the early part of the election where the DNC gave Trump massive amounts of publicity and address the role that's played nationally in driving racism and other oppressions.
