Sunday

it is all about having a tribe and somewhere to belong. The direction of the larger culture as it has moved towards greater inclusion has pulled the rug out from under those whose only advantage in their own eyes is their whiteness. They know, deep down, that they have nothing else. They are poor, they are uneducated, they lack social skills and connections, but "at least they are white" in their own estimations.
Having what they see as a "racial advantage" is all they have left in today's world, where most people welcome diversity and inclusion of those previously marginalized. MAGA gives them a place to vent their frustration by hating on those they believe are less-than.

What they don't realize is that they hate themselves, and DJT hates everyone, including himself.
