Gonna keep this short and straight to the point, we all know how they act.
With trump siding with the Tech Bros Billionaires on immigration, even after his most die hard supporters were against it. I see several MAGAS just falling in line with Elon calling them stupid and that’s why we need more educated and qualified people to take these better jobs (whilst we’re on the cusp of deleting the Department of Education).
Anyone with functions eyes and ears can tell you they’ve been played, but they’re still deeply loyal to trump even though he back tracking on one of his biggest (and few) positions. Without mass deportations or hawkish immigration laws. What the hell does trump even offer to these people other than the occasional dog whistles they love?
They’re not only fueled by racism and hate. They’re also fueled by Fear. Examine most of what they profess, their policy decisions and trends, and you can see they are deeply afraid of the world and of anyone even remotely not like them.
Look at their obsession with guns and gun culture. They are convinced that everyone “Other” will absolutely harm them if given the chance. Be it neighbors or strangers, they’re sure the only thing keeping someone from hurting them is the lack of opportunity to do so.
They’re afraid that they’ll lose their jobs. It doesn’t even bother them to call immigrants lazy, and then in the same breath exclaim that some lazy undocumented mexican is going to steal their job.
They’re afraid of increasing numbers of immigrants because they’re afraid that they’ll become the minority, and they know damn well how minorities are treated, and it scares the shit out of them.
They’re afraid of LGBTQ+ people too. They laugh and mock the idea that it’s "homophobia or transphobia saying they’re not afraid, but then they’re afraid someone they’re not attracted to will flirt with them, or their kids will be inducted into the “LGBTQ Mafia.” It’s not just hate, they genuinely think they are the victims and that the only thing preserving their way of life is striking first.
They are absolutely hate filled racists, for sure, but deep inside they’re fucking scared and that makes them lash out.
That’s a nicer way to put it. It’s fear, not hate.
Yoda’s line rings true in this case. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate.
