Anti establishment types often come together briefly.

The trouble is to actually move forward together you have to have a similar idea of what you what the world to be instead not just what you are against.

I actually think MAGA and BLM probably to have some things in common in regards to wanting smaller government, anti government and police interference and spying, etc.

What you outlined is why single-issue voters are so disruptive.

The pro/anti:
1. Gun
2. Abortion
3. PotHead
4. Immigration
5. LGB Alphabet
6. Labor Union

...bunches will put up with literal Hitler/Mao/Pol Pot as long as their button is pushed.

That's not true though.

Unless you're one of those people who think Trump was literally Hitler.

I just had to put a "Rightist" boogeyman in there to balance those other two.

I voted for Trump, and what he said about single issue voters seems very true. I'm not sure how it ties to your comment though. I guess he's saying the BLM and MAGA types had different buttons being pushed?
