MAGA has become a very small group of Trump diehard loyalists who must also support Mark Levin. The movement is described as increasingly tiny and marked by intense loyalty similar to cult behavior. Kelly says Trump has betrayed his base, pointing to repeated campaign promises against new wars and against war with Iran. She argues voters who supported those promises quickly accepted pro-war positions, including claims about Iran’s nuclear capability, which she calls obvious lies used to justify conflict. Kelly also says it is disrespectful to label Trump voters cultists, while still describing their “In Trump We Trust” mindset and their sense of being ignored by other politicians.
"“MAGA is not what it was. MAGA is now this very, very small group of Trump diehard loyalists who have to love Mark Levin,” Kelly said. “And so that's by definition an increasingly tiny group.”"
"“I've been surprised to see how quickly [MAGA has] shrunk down to something less formidable, by far, than it used to be,” Kelly continued. “One of the twin hosts then branded the president George Bush 2.0 because of the money he's made and the new war he started.”"
"Kelly agreed Trump has betrayed his base. She said: “It's stunning to me that the people who voted for the man who said over and over No new wars,'[and] No war with Iran, no Middle East wars and specifically over and over said Iran and also said The Democrats are going to get us into a war with Iran… That was a massive part of his campaigning… and his promising.”"
"“It's disrespectful to call Trump voters cultists,” Kelly said, “but they do have the same kind of loyalty. Where it's like In Trump We Trust' and he can do no wrong, Kelly said. “And I get that. You know, they've been burned by a lot of other politicians.”"
