MAGA extremists really aren't a homogenous group. Overall, they want to stop the country from devolving into a miasma of diversity, equality, socialism, wokeness, permissiveness, and corruption. Yet they pursue different agendas to get there. Sometimes the agendas overlap, sometimes they conflict.
This is my take on who the MAGAts are, in no particular order.
White supremacists. They see an America where people of color and immigrants get "special treatment." Like Civil Rights and welfare. The supremacists resent their perceived loss of preeminence and white power. An authoritarian government would eliminate these unfair disparities and return white people to their privileged positions. White lives matter more.
Fascists and Neo-Nazis. They believe that power belongs in the hands of the strongest members of society, who just happen to be white. Pure blood keeps the dominant group strong. An authoritarian government can strip away the liberal, progressive, and socialist laws that are ruining our country. Then the Fascists and Neo-Nazis can eliminate or control the weak and impure, which includes people of color, biracial and multiracial people, immigrants, the LGBTQ+, non-Christians, people with disabilities, the elderly, the poor, and the mentally ill. Survival of the strongest, baby.
Incels (involuntary celibates) and other misogynists. They resent women and the increase in women's rights. They feel women have taken away men's power. These misogynists want women put back in their place: subordinate to men. Under Trump, an authoritarian government can do just that. Bros before hos.
Evangelicals and other religious absolutists. They hope an authoritarian government will lead to a theocracy. America can then become the Christian nation it was always meant to be. Women would return to their rightful subordinate role. Abortion would be outlawed. The LGBTQ+ community would be wiped out. All non-Christians would be exiled, or conditioned and controlled. Only an authoritarian government can save the country. Praise the Lord, amen.
Communists. I'm not sure that there are many. Nevertheless those who want Communist rule can find a home among the MAGAts. An authoritarian government is the means to silence dissenting voices. Then the Communists can finally lead the country to the glories of social equality. Comrades all.
Opportunists. Some Trumptards are merely cynical opportunists. I include Republican members of Congress and the wealthy in this group. They want to catch the wealth that Trump spreads through tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. They also see the profits, rather than the harm done, when Trump loosens restrictions on environmental, safety, and labor laws. For the avaricious, an authoritarian government is just code for more wealth. Wealth equals power, and power equals more wealth.
I think my list covers just about all of Trump's supporters. I suppose, though, that some of his followers could be "very fine people."
Nah. Hillary was right. They are all deplorable.
Vote BLUE. Please.
