I have now interacted (like it or not) with many MAGAs since my posts.  And I am now able to put them into four brackets explaining their allegiance to Trump The Dump.

1.      These are proud Americans who believe the country was going to ruin.  These are the folks who may have served in military or have “early Pioneer type of thinking” where they believe diversity, inclusion, Gays, anti-Christian, abortion, increase in population of minorities, etc has destroyed America and only Trump can return it to what it was.  Their life is going okay, but they think without intervention America will become too different from their values, their lifestyle.

2.      For these folks, life has failed them.  They never succeeded in a meaningful career. Maybe their marriages failed.  Maybe their kids are not doing well.  They work hard at what they do but they feel like they were cheated, forgotten and the American dream is out of reach.  They are angry, very angry and need someone or something to blame (not themselves).  So, the problem is immigration, minorities, or previous government that has done them wrong.  Their belief has been that Trump speaks for them, talks to them (not at them) and he will set things right repairing their lost dreams.

 3.      This group of folks are the “Well To Do”.  These people have lots of money.  They are well invested in the market.  Many, are millionaires. They have great jobs, their families and children are doing very well and their “money tree” grows every day.  The last thing they want to see is any more of their money going out of their pockets for any reason at all.  This includes anything that would help society or  “others”.  Their belief is not only in Trump but remain hardcore Republicans because they think all Democrats will take away more of their money which does not help them.  These are the greedy MAGAs

 4.       This group is easy.  These folks are just dumb.  Their education was subpar; they are very easily influenced by targeted messaging.  They insist facts are not real. Thinking about a larger scope like the environment, global issues, long term effects of policies, etc. is way too far out of their intellectual capacity.  So, for them, Trump keeps it simple… “I will Make America Great Again” and they are good with that.  There is nothing that will change their allegiance to Trump because they can barely figure out how to change a light bulb.     

FINALLY FIGURED OUT MAGAS
