Is MAGA dead? [View all]

I hear numerous reports that MAGA "influencers" are very critical of Trump and are saying that high gas prices and war in Iran is not what they voted for. Also, they see the cover-up of the Epstein files and are none too pleased about that either.

If these mouthpieces for the MAGA movement desert the cause, will the cult follow them or will they remain loyal to their leader? From the recent polls, we might assume that some are leaving the movement.

But the point is, who gives a damn? They have already done their damage and now they want to walk away unscathed? Forgiven? Just a simple political mistake? They have learned their lesson?

It gives the appearance of rats jumping ship.
