Tried to explain this umpteen times but . . .
The agenda is "own the libs". Libs hate Trump; therefore, to trigger them, MAGA loves him.
Every single "position" that seems completely irrational on its face to normal people can be explained with this axiom.
It's not very complicated really.
While "own the libs" is something that MAGA delight in, it's reductionist to believe that this is their sole motivation, or indeed, even their chief motivation. MAGA favor gun rights, are anti-emigrant, isolationist, anti-vax, mistrustful of government, etc. not because these positions run counter to beliefs held "the libs" - it's because MAGA genuinely believe in them (to a greater or lesser extent based on the individual).
I do - however - agree that Trump's popularity among his supporters is due in no small measure to his tough-guy, "own the libs," demeanor.
