Premillennialism is accelerationist nihilism wearing a crucifix.

There is no doubt that racism played a big role in the election of Trump. However, I am not sure if promoting racism was the main motivation for evangelicals to vote for him. There are certainly plenty of racists among evangelicals. But you find them more often in certain regions where there has been a history of racism, e.g., the South. In other parts of the US, evangelical views on race are likely to be much more diverse. For example, the West coast has large numbers of evangelicals of Asian (Chinese, Korean, etc.) heritage. They, like their white counterparts, probably voted for Trump but not for the purpose of maintaining white supremacy. I think it is mainly for reasons that you pointed out in your previous posts: the lust for power (Christian nationalism) and the maintenance of patriarchy.
