9. And the MAGAts revel in Trump's sadism, vicariously

I think it's safe to say that most MAGAts know that, in the "big picture," they HAVE no power.

They're not respected, they're not admired, they're not taken seriously. They are on the fringes of society because they belong there. Their hate, racism, paranoia, resentment...average Americans are repulsed by that and want to distance themselves from it as much as possible.

So when the MAGAts see Trump hurting someone, especially if it's people they have been trained to hate and fear, they get the warm fuzzies.
