The deunionization of the Midwest is a big problem for the Democrats long term. Yes, Trump did over perform due to his unique appeal to the Rust Belt. The problem is a lot of union members, are culturally conservative, own guns, and are pro life. What makes someone like that vote Democrat? Luckily being in a union has always easily outweighed the other factors that would make them Republican. The union has their back, and Republicans are seen as hostile to unions and pro business and anti worker.
Back in the 1950's union's were 35% of the US workforce, it has been steadily going down year by year, it is now a pitiful 11.3%. Now that these gun owning socially conservative predominantly white males have lost their union jobs, what is to stop them from voting Republican?
