Summary: Today, January 20th, 2026, the first anniversary of President Trump’s second term, More in Common is releasing the most comprehensive study to date of the Americans who voted for President Trump in November 2024.
MAGA hardliners may call themselves "deeply religious," but that is a deeply misguided understanding of what it means to be so. What religion calls on people to hate so much? to subject the most vulnerable among us to the most cruelty? to threaten our friends and coddle our adversaries? If that's what it means to be "deeply religious," we're in big trouble.
I wonder if people tell the truth when they participate in a poll. I think they may tell the pollster what they think they wish to hear. I hope they word the questions in a way that can limit this bias; otherwise just deducing information from what people say may lead to incorrect assumptions or not a clear picture of what people are doing.
I find this insanely hard to believe as an overwhelming majority of Republicans seem to have his full support in a number of areas. I believe 83% of them support Trump over all?? MAGA and hard-right has to be much higher.
"Similarly, MAGA Hardliners are more convinced of the merits of using the military for mass deportation than are self-described 'very conservative' Trump voters. By contrast, the Reluctant Right are more opposed to this policy than Hispanic Trump voters, *despite the impacts of these policies on Hispanic communities.*"
It's common to conflate Hispanic voters and Hispanic undocumented immigrants. Why? "Hispanic communities" are not a monolith -- those who are being deported and those who are voters are wildly different demographics. There may be a loose relation, people who know each other, family members, even. But how would you feel if you did something carefully and correctly, but got grouped in with people who cheated and lied to get what you worked for?
I am not Hispanic, but it's no wonder that those legal citizens who are would like the ones who broke the law deported, considering even balanced groups like you consider all of them part of the same community.
Spare us your hypocritical indignation. The Statue of Liberty's invitation to "Give me your tired, your poor..." doesn't only refer to European immigrants. Many of them also came to this country illegally and undocumented (ask the native Americans about that). However, most stayed and made this country a welcoming home for other immigrants - until recently. Now we have the modern day equivalent of the Gestapo roaming our streets, murdering Americans and kidnapping/imprisoning citizens as well as non-citizens.

ICE is targeting people who “did it right” at their immigration hearings, children, and citizens.
