The authors seem to believe that these people all take marching orders from Trump, that the messages coming from the MAGA right are all intensely coordinated. They cannot fathom the idea that many Americans share the same views as Trump and believe that his leadership is the best course for the country at this time.
They will never understand it. The left believes whatever they are told to believe because they only actually believe in the pursuit of power. As they are incapable of true empathy, projection is their only method of trying to see something from someone else's perspective. It is a futile endeavor, since they are still seeing everything from their own perspective at all times.
The right's biggest strength, and also their biggest weakness is that each individual in the group determines their own principles rather than being handed them from the ivory tower intelligentsia. It's a strength because it makes them resistant to ideological conditioning from the propaganda machine that is our media. It's a weakness because it makes organization efforts to accomplish anything an exercise of herding cats.
TLDR: leftists are sheep. Conservatives are lone wolves.
The left believes that because that is what they do. All of their shit is highly organised and coordinated. The NPC memes exist for a reason, they simply can’t grasp the concept of people thinking for themselves because their puppet masters do all of their thinking for them.

This is also why Libertarianism is kind of a utopian ideal that can never really be reached. They take that individualism to such an extreme that it makes it near impossible to collectivize them in order to counter outside threats from actual collectives like Communists.
This is why government, while evil, is unfortunately, a necessary evil. Somebody has to be in charge, because we are not a psychically linked gestalt mind.

Remember, the left always projects.
