“What MAGA all agree” is a fool’s errand, like most universal consensus questions.
But here are a few high points:
Some genuinely believe the rhetoric about how Trans/brown/non-Christian/etc. people are destroying the American way of life, jobs, safety, sports, the economy, and whatever they get pointed to at any given moment.
Some are outright racists, bullies, and fascists, and absolutely love what Trump is doing right now.
Many are just frustrated with their lot in life, and are willing to try anything (except personal action) to improve things.
Many more feel like they’re just a few paycheques or a small windfall away from living the rich life like Musk et al. As about 90% of lottery winners can attest, winning $10M or so doesn’t make you obscenely wealthy, and it’s still pretty easy to piss it all away. They have no concept of the difference between “rich enough to not work” and “rich enough to own multiple superyachts.”
Most importantly, a large subset of this last group overlaps with the others, and believe that they only way for them to get ahead is by climbing over the bodies of others.
