You're just talking about Republicans. Having a problem with how immigration was, mask mandates, "forced" vaccination, boys in girls sports, etc are pretty mainstream issues. Despite what the "very online" crowd thinks (including most of the media), those are very normal opinions.

The MAGA crowd aren't the same. MAGA dies with Trump. Nobody is going to get away with saying what Trump did about McCain post Trump. Nobody else is going to try this tariff nonsense. Nobody else is going to send the national guard to American cities.

Trump has extreme solutions to main stream gripes. The gripes will stay, the solutions won't.
