I spent my teen years in Fort Wayne and I am rather amused that you specified that part. But yeah my FIL went from center right "maybe he has a point about immigrants " to never voting for a republican again

There are multiple well-funded orgs working this angle! The key concept apparently is building a narrative of betrayal, eg, it's okay to have voted for him in 2016, you didn't *know*, now you know better after he betrayed everyone. Like sure it's bullshit but if it works it works.
