Great Trump will be celebrating our withdrawal from our neighbors all day. The best thing that can happen to him is for us to keep yelling "you're evil" at half the country. It just reinforces his position with every cry of hate.
Are there some actual ideological Nazis following Trump? Of course. But the vast majority is just sick and tired of the status quo that does nothing for them. And as a result they got taken in by a huckster politician.
You write of half the country a just basically evil by nature and you're playing his game for him.
I hear you, but there are a few things you have to understand; MAGA is not 50% of the population.
Of registered voters, only 47% have a declared a party affiliation. So immediately 1/2 of the USA's voting population cannot be considered Republican or Democrat.
If party registered voters, you are correct in that it is a 49% (D) and 48% (R) split. That puts Republicans at almost a perfect 25% of the population.
Not all Republicans are MAGA (arguable), with various polling putting 52% of Registered Republicans as MAGA supporters.
Why? Some vote Republican because they don't like Democrats, or don't want a woman president (Trump has only won against women, Biden beat him by a landslide).
Summary: It's almost a perfect 50% by 50% by 50% divide! MAGA is about 12-15% of the population.
All MAGA has to do is radicalize key voting areas to win the electoral college, but these crazies are fickle and vanish quickly. Remember the Tea Party movement? ... yea, me neither really.
