I don’t believe for an instant that any of these people believe in any of their religions, just use them as means to justify their own vile sentiment and actions.

It’s worse. They completely believe their religions and it’s their god that commands them to kill the sinners. It’s a rationalization feedback loop: They are just doing what they are told to be proper religious folk.

This is probably very shallow and naive but…
I just completely fail to comprehend how any non- white person could be a MAGA supporter, or just conservative in general.
It just seems like a complete failure to understand the fundamentals of the political divide.
As in… Trump would send you back to Africa if it turned out he couldn’t enslave you.

Colonized minds only see power in the behavior of their oppressor. So to become powerful like them, mimic their behavior and you will gain acceptance.

That said, most people don’t think at all. They just go along with it
Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut

The comment section of the top post on my Lemmy front page is currently advocating for a class war, with some highly upvoted comments implicitly and directly calling for the killing or robbing of wealthy people simply because they’re wealthy. If someone supports this rhetoric but opposes similar rhetoric from the far-right, then they’re being hypocritical.
