29. I suspect a lot of the anger, as well as its intensity, comes from their Dear Leader.

HE will not be happy until and unless of the following are completely eliminated from this country:

● all LGBTQIA+ people
● all non white people (or most; he might keep a few for doing things like garbarge collection and other manual labor)
● all feminists (he'd eliminate all women if he could, but he knows some are still needed for sex, procreation, and housekeeping)
● all Democrats, liberals, progressives, and "woke" people of every stripe
● all those whose first language is anything other than English
● all those who don't meet dear leader's standards of physical perfection, including fat people, short people, women whose boobs aren't big enough to suit Dear Leader, anyone with any kind of visible disability or imperfection (what constitutes either of these to be defined by him)
● all those who are highly educated in any field he doesn't approve of or at any institution he doesn't approve of
● all those who are intellectually curious and/or prone to forming opinions of their own that don't perfectly match his
● the list goes on and on, but I'm sure you get the idea

The MAGA are angry at most of of the people on this list because Dear Leader has convinced them that "those people" have it in for them and are the cause of all their problems. This makes them angry; and he stokes that anger every chance he gets, over and over again, which makes them even angrier.

Their level of commitment varies, from those who are already getting tired of him to those who will always worship him unquestioningly as long as he keeps assuring them that he is "fighting for them." I suspect that the latter group has gotten smaller since his second term started and will continue to shrink as long as he keeps fucking up spectacularly, which he is bound to do. Time will tell.
