According to CNN, 7 independent investigative studies undertaken within the last two years, have demonstrated that the majority of the people who support Trump are afraid of accountability. They tend to be intolerant of anything that does not look or act like themselves.
Most are racist, misogynists, sexists, and bigots. For generations they have functioned with impunity in their intolerances and their hateful actions. Most are white males.
Fear of becoming the thing they most fear, a minority. As demographics change in the country, in the not too distant future their actions will no longer be tolerated and excepted as the status quo. They will be made to be accountable for their words, their actions, and their behaviors. Due to their fear of accountability they turned to an ideologue in the form of Donald Trump in hopes of forestalling the future and turning back the clock to "the good old days" when they served up their hate with impunity. This is what MAGA really means to Trump supporters.
Do not be misled by arguments about fiscsl conservatism as justification for supporting Trump. The majority do not understand the fiscal mechanizations of the government. It is a manufactured excuse in an attempt to justify their real motives. Remember, there are always exceptions to the rule, but excetions due not make the rule. Thats why they are called exceptions.

I'd like to see some links to these. A quick google search I just did didnt find them. Mabey I'm not looking right? I found some articles saying racist groups tend to support him but that is very different than saying the majority of his supporters are racists. I see CNN no where saying 7 investigators said they were mostly bigots.
I don't like putting large groups of people in boxes like that. It's too simplistic. I am not a Trump supporter. I disagree with almost everything they stand for.
I find that for the most part people just take the side that their family and friends are on. Not everyone revolves around politics. Some people are just trying to live their lives. Calling all of them fearful uneducated racists as a whole makes them dig in deeper and prevents conversation with those who might not be.

Use Google Scholar instead of the plain Chrome. It will depend upon the key word search terms you use. I am looking as well to verify my post. I'll get back to you.
@TheMiddleWay. CNN just reported the results, didn't do the studies themselves. Have not had time to research as I had to work today. Get back to you.
I've said before, and it's an opinion of mine, that at any one time around a quarter or more of a population is authoritarian inclined. They are attracted to simplistically described problems, simplistic solutions, and most of all scapegoats to blame. Your post also describes them in part. In compulsory voting systems their votes are spread across various extreme politicians, or right wing parties. In non compulsory systems they often don't vote. When messianic or demagogic leaders come along, they coalesce around them and they feed their need for authoritarian slogans and banter. Trumpism is a classic example of that. We should remember that in the 1930s, and even into WW2 itself, there was solid support amongst portions of the populations of the western countries in support of fascism and nazism. After the war this was conveniently forgotten, except by historians.

They are afraid of being eventually accountable to the other races they hate and that's why they love and are buying guns, so they can fight the other races as well as maybe the cops once whites no longer run the govt., including the police. There are bloody times ahead when this finally happens, but these assholes will lose if they think they can outgun the cops.

Brillant.
Recently, as the facts further emerge regarding the method of trump's accent to the presidency, for the first time since the election of Obama ..I’ve actually had a smidgen of hope. Yes, this disaster’s rocked our world in the worst ways ..and will have negative repercussions for decades.. But we’re making it -- we’re not falling apart! Our system may actually work. So ‘take that’ - Putin ~
