Clinton only won the popular vote by a few million, so I don't think she was able to sway public opinion very much. What might have been 46% is now 48%, at worst. That's hardly mass mind control.

How many millions of people do you need before it’s mass?

Depends on the total population, I'd say on the order of 30% would be getting there.
