Nope. I am talking about the people and why MAGA simply will not go away. They’ll still have the same grievances when he’s gone. They’ll just shop around for another politician who will indulge their 200 year old grievances. What they want is a white evangelical ethnostate.  The politicians are just the enablers. 

Hmm. I would guess there's lot of different kinds of people voting for Trump, but I can't claim to know enough to say for sure. You're probably better informed than I am.

Sure there are. His core, however, are white Christians. They have consistently heen hos strongest constituency. He’s made gains among minorities, particularly Latinos, who are somewhat socially conservative, but his strongest base are white evangelicals, and that is who he panders to with his policies.

i lived in the Southern US. for 30 years. Evangelical grievance is a big feature of politics and society in that part of the US.
