I think you have it backward. These people are all "independent free thinkers" who think the same thing Fox told them to think.
They don't want to obey; they're Confederates! They're rebels and cowboys and other term for rugged, free individualists. These people, who have been robbed of even the ability to think, let alone do, by themselves after decades of propagandizing and near-nonexistent education. They feel like they're flipping off the establishment. That's why MAGAs kept talking about "drain the swamp", because they thought "far right" was just a new angle to attack more decorous politicians. They aren't helping Trump out of some unctuous, perverse desire to be stepped on. They're helping Trump because they're too dumb to release that their party IS the establishment.
