Trump is a figurehead of a movement that created him. He didn't create MAGA; he embodied it and gave it a name. MAGA was previously the Tea Party. There are plenty of Americans, left and right, that view this government as a compromised, abject failure. The key difference is how we make it better - right wants it basically removed, and left wants it to be all-encompassing (because they don't see how that always ends badly).

I agree with everything you said up until "the left wants it to be all encompassing". No. They want Trump and all of his supporters dead.

Sorry I meant they want absolute power for the government, which would include the power to cleanse the opposition (as it always goes in authoritarian regimes). It's quite obvious they want not just Trump supporters, but fence-sitters murdered.

Ah ok, I see what you mean. Thanks for clarifying.
