Yes they are very passionate in the love for the man. Blindly or is it overlooking anything not conducent to the narrative wanting to envision. Making up excuses and conspiracies or what about this... Changing the narrative to suit the needs.
Sure there is some hate in the base. I feel that this also has many reasons in being a part. Some of it is not new just given an outlet with the consent of their leader.
Lost of a power and the overtaking by other groups in the electorate being one held dear.
I also believe there is a subconscious realization by the supporters in the knowing. That there is a significant portion of the populace not effected by this illusion of Trump. This then forces a questioning of their beliefs and thus makes them very angry. Determined to change the minds of the nonbelievers to justify theirs. By any means necessary. Also a cause of much torment and anger to then be vented onto others.

There are all types in every group supporting a politician, but not all groups do a lot of protesting, rioting, looting, tearing down statues, burning cars, spraying graffiti all over everything, fighting cops, etc.
One side likes to focus on election day or maybe have 'TEA party" events.
There are bad players in every group, but for some it's an MO, and pointing out the outliers in other groups does not make them all equal.
Trump is the first president in my recollection that did not hold political office before becoming president. It put some rough edges on his early presidency. Those edges have been smoothed. If he wins re-election he will have what Obama calls "flexibility". I expect a radical move in the direction he has been trying to pursue since day one.
And the first step will to meet force with force and finally shut down rioters and looters. The kid stuff will end. We'll see.
