I have come to the same conclusion. His supporters are one, some, or all the things you listed. And if confronted with those, nearly all would deny that they hold those positons.

i used to work at a small market TV station in deep east Texas and yes the newsroom was just like today's Magas even back then, (1992). I was the only progressive in there.
it felt, to me, very hostile there...I lasted a year and left.
Oh, so true. The roots of what has become MAGA were always there in some quarters of our nation. Trump embodied and amplified grievances that stem from racism.
In Utah, the Mormons generally vote republican and the atmosphere is toxic if you admit that you are progressive. My dog's name is Birdie Sanders, and I make sure to say her entire name when I meet people. I'm getting a kitten in a few weeks and I am thinking about calling her Kamala Harris!
Yep, my nephew & my sister are like that; they vote for Trump & other very conservative Republicans, but if I were to tell them they are racist, they would vehemently deny that.
My nephew even said that when Biden said, during his 2020 campaign, that if given the opportunity, he would appoint the first female Black justice to the Supreme Court, that he broke the law against discrimination!!!!!
No matter how I tried to explain that those laws were put into place to try & correct the blatant & harsh discrimination against women & minorities, he refused to see it that way. So the idea of white male victimhood has really permeated society.
How, in God's name did our country get sooo fucked up !!! I put a lot of it down to the sorry state of our education.I went to schools in the 50s , we didn't have the resources available to fact check liars. We did however, have Civics; we learned about government processes at the local, state and federal level. Folks these days seem to have no idea how it is supposed to be, so they settle for crap that politicians dish out.

Protecting white privilege since 1619.
IтАЩm sure that was painful. Sorry you had to experience that.

Ahh the tea-party years where it began to thrive.
It is the likeliest place to find active Klan in all of Texas!
I agree although they are spread out in Texas. But yeah.

I was just appalled.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention my family members live in the Texas hill country.
