Yes, it is a classic case of the politics of resentment. It goes back at least to Nietzsche; I am not aware of someone using that term before him but someone probably did. I am sure it has existed nearly as long as elections, even people didn't identify and name it for awhile. Here is a 2016 interview with a Univ of Wisconsin political scientist who interviewed a lot of rural WI voters both before and after Trump's nomination and election to see why they voted for him. It just echoes a great deal of what we have heard since then.
