3. My theory is that most of them are narcissists like TSF.

First, they identify with him. He's like them. He "gets" them.

Second, they have gross insecurity and jealousy issues. They see non-MAGAs with college and more getting ahead. The non-MAGAs make more money. The non-MAGAs have bigger houses. The non-MAGAs can afford attorneys. They believe the non-MAGAs think they're superior to them. The non-MAGAs seem to have more fun than they do.

Class Warfare. For the most part, MAGAs are lower-middle class and can't move up no matter what they do. Non-MAGAs ARE upper-middle class. And won't associate with them. Ignore them. Have a certain arrogance against MAGAs.

They have been primed to hate for decades. Remember Newt Gingrich and his Contract for America? It was meant to create a schism in Congress where bipartisanship would be obsolete. Two camps with animosity. Therefore, if you aren't a MAGA, you are to be viewed with suspicion, anger, hatred. Like a football game. You can't root for both teams. And you root for your team and despise the other team.
