3 weeks ago - Trump has lost control of this young radical group, if he ever had it. He, J.D. Vance, and other MAGA figures are viewed as having served Zionist interests in Israel’s Middle Eastern war, and have never gone far enough in deporting immigrants.

5 days ago - A Thune ally told Axios: 'Republicans may keep Texas, but you broke it, you buy it' - predicting Paxton's nomination will make the race 'a lot more expensive.' 'Without a shadow of a doubt, I will be the Democrats' No 1 target in November,' Paxton declared in his victory speech, seemingly relishing the fight to come. Trump's troubles extend well beyond Texas as the midterms loom this fall. 'His numbers are the weakest they've ever been,' Lennox told the Daily Mail. 'Republican turnout in special and off-year elections has been abysmal, and he's managed to alienate two sitting Republican senators.' ... Is Trump putting personal loyalty above what's best for the Republican Party and Texas voters?What's your view?

The older ones, I suspect, are just going along with him for the ride in Iran; perhaps they have found ways to excuse the president’s newfound love for “warfighting,” or maybe their natural bloodlust has been reawakened after having gone dormant from Trump fever. But younger members of the president’s MAGA coalition aren’t buying it.

1 week ago - But there are signs that Trump’s grip on his followers is starting to crumble. A few weeks ago, after he threatened to wipe out a civilization, verbally attacked the Pope, and posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ, which he later claimed was him as a doctor, several prominent MAGA and Trump supporters — including Marjorie Taylor Greene, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Candance Owens, and Megyn Kelly — broke with the president. And things have only escalated from there. Declining approval ratings suggest rank-and-file MAGA members have begun to jump ship, including some of Trump’s most ardent conservative Christian supporters. Does this spell the beginning of the end of the MAGA cult? If so, what happens next? And is now the time to reach out to family members and friends who may be rethinking their position? When the Tea Party formed in 2009, one month after President Barack Obama was inaugurated, the members were an odd mix of right-wing populists and free market extremi

July 29, 2025 - It is no secret that Donald Trump made significant inroads with young men in 2024. But there's a misconception from many Democrats about why young men have moved away from the party.

3 weeks ago - The cult-like defenses of Donald Trump have taken a truly creepy turn of late. Trump fell asleep at an event and the White House’s spin in response went truly off the rails. Trump floated an insane proposal involving Venezuela that drew a deeply strange defense from a spokesperson. And in one telling moment, the spokesperson was so eager to fluff up Trump that she accidentally delivered a harsh talking point against him. But when you watch all this madness, you can sense something dark underneath it. All these sycophants are plainly aware that Trump is going to be passing from the scene very soon. And it’s very hard to see what’s going to fill the vacuum within the GOP and the right wing that this will leave behind. Virginia Heffernan, a writer for The New Republic, has a great piece that plumbs deep into the MAGA psyche for clues to the state of our country.

November 14, 2025 - Ten months into his second term, President Donald Trump is being challenged by the very base he prides himself on creating, and he finds himself besieged by an army of issues that could threaten his MAGA support and spell trouble for lawmakers who remain by his side.

2 weeks ago - In response, the United States and Britain orchestrated the 1953 coup that overthrew him. As Kinzer put it, “this was not just an attack on one person, but an attack on democracy.” · But Trump didn’t teach these truths that could help children understand how those in power have misused it. And just as Trump taught children to fear “enemies” abroad, he also taught them to view transgender people at home as threats to the social order he was trying to defend. Railing against gender-affirming care for trans youth, Trump invoked “transgender mutilization” — mangling the word he was trying to weaponize — in an apparent attempt to frighten the children before abruptly catching himself and saying, “Don’t listen to this, kids.” Then, reversing his decision to have the children disregard him, Trump looked into the eyes of the youth and declared, “I’ve never had one person say it’s important we allow women to be challenged by men in women’s sports…” ·

April 21, 2026 - What if the 2024 election was not, in fact, a revolt of a deeply and permanently socially conservative American people, but a plea for change from a working class that has long felt that it was falling behind? What if the gender and racial grievances that have long animated Trump’s most ardent supporters were not, in fact, the basis of his victory? What if the truth is that lots of people voted for him because they thought he would send employment up and prices down, and, now that he hasn’t, they have buyer’s remorse? That would certainly explain the poll numbers. Trump’s approval rating has sunk to a dismal 37%; a shocking 63% of Americans now say they disapprove of how he is handling the job. It’s little wonder: a lame duck whose underlings are already openly vying to replace him and whose once lockstep Maga coalition is now fracturing under internal pressures, he hasn’t been able to get many of his much-touted policy proposals done.

3 weeks ago - None of this cut through – because Trump had a message tens of millions of Americans wanted to hear, and he did not seem to be part of the establishment elite. The angry reaction of many elites to him all but confirmed his outside status. For a time, Trump’s popularity seemed to be untouchable. Even now, there is a sizeable ride-or-die Maga contingent for whom he can do no wrong.

April 30, 2026 - Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson, two of the Maga movement’s most prominent figures, have broken with Trump in recent months.

July 21, 2023 - Initially, the attack caused embarrassment, but most MAGA members later claimed it was instigated by antifa activists. By 2023, Trump publicly celebrated the attack at rallies, and the movement continued to support him. On the first day of his second presidential term, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 persons charged with crimes related to the January 6 attack. MAGA movement, nativist political movement that emerged in the United States during the 2016 presidential campaign of its putative leader, Donald Trump. Its name is derived from Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan “Make America Great Again,” which has been a rallying cry for many Trump supporters ever since. A variant of “Make America Great Again” was first popularized by Republican Pres. Ronald Reagan, who used “Let’s Make America Great Again” as one of several slogans for his 1980 presidential campaign.

There is an image at the heart of American politics: a sea of red-hat-wearing MAGA supporters at a Trump campaign rally, representing the millions of Americans who voted for him over the past three elections — 63 million in 2016, 74 million in 2020, and 77 million in 2024. Yet this image is misleading. President Trump has built a coalition, not a cult. This coalition shares many common concerns, from unregulated immigration to progressive overreach to American decline. But it also contains groups with distinct identities, competing priorities, and clashing worldviews. And while there is a strong core of ardent Trump supporters whose identity is wrapped up in the MAGA movement, they represent a minority: only 38 percent of Trump voters say that being MAGA is important to them. Drawing on surveys, interviews and group conversations conducted with over 10,000 Trump voters over 10 months concluding in early 2026, this study finds four distinct types of Trump voters: MAGA Hardliners, Anti-W
