I think it dangerous to write off MAGA as a party. It won in 2016, then we thought we defeated that malignant tumor, and it came back in 2028. There are a lot of MAGA people out there still, even if the Felon dies. DeSantis certainly is, and JD is (or leans that way).

Yes, there are lots of MAGA people out there, and always will be. A few years ago they were called Tea Party, and when I was in college John Birchers, and there have been iterations in between. Their power waxes and wanes, and Trump has managed to put together a particularly noxious coalition by dint of his (false) business prowess, (supposed) charisma, or whatever. There are others who may have traits that would allow a portion of the MAGA faithful to swing over, but I don’t think the broad coalition is likely to follow. Heck, it sure didn’t just a couple days ago.

There will always be a hard core component (we see a few on this board). There are many who are in the middle and get pulled in. There are some in the middle who don’t. And of course there are many on the left who couldn’t be less interested, even if you give them $5000.

I’ll worry about it when the time comes. For now, I think the “big ticket” MAGA spell is broken. Heck, even the stores have been going bankrupt (not to mention the philosophy.)
