At an individual level, MAGA supporters may not identify any  hatred.  But at a cultural level, MAGA is powered by hatred, from a number of people who do hate, and a majority of people who allow it.  This combination can and has allowed for the worst atrocities in human history.

This power sustains the MAGA movement. At any point in time, it will be towards a specific target, but the target is arbitrary.  The hatred will always move to another "other" group to sustain themselves.

## The simplicity of hatred

Many of the problems facing Americans today can be overwhelming: an economic recession, a global pandemic, a natural disaster, and more.  The causes of these events can be convoluted, can involve everyone, or maybe no one.  These events can instantly leave people feeling powerless, completely unable to fix their situation.  The fixes to these problems usually do not utilize the people affected and can take significant amounts of time.  

Hatred provides a simple solution.  All of the the problems stem from a person, or a group of people.  Emotionally, this is a very satisfying answer that everyone can understand at a base level and have solutions on how to "fix" them.  Once you get rid of these people, then the problems go away.  

## Hatred provides power to do terrible things

Its through this hatred that supporters of MAGA become activists.  You can see this at Trump rallies that hatred of other people is what drives the message and what drives activism.

It is through this activism that MAGA political power is ultimately derived from.  Millions of Americans now have accepted this hatred and will vote out, act out, threaten, and even take violent action against whoever stands in the way of fixing that hatred.

## Because hatred is the source of power, it can never stop

If people were to stop allowing this hatred, the MAGA movement evaporates and all of the power that comes with it. They become just another group of people with interests and policy positions.  The people in power recognize this, and so this hatred has to keep going. So they change the narrative, and suddenly the target of the hatred moves from one group to the next, and on and on and on it goes.

MAGA is Hatred #MAGAisHate
