Right now, the core of MAGA true believers is being whittled down and Trump is increasingly seen (even by MAGA) as a doddering old fool.
It could be a function of what I see in the media, but much of the split in MAGA seems to center around his standing by Israel, to the detriment of the US. Maybe some more immigration "enforcement theater", and promotion of religion, would whip MAGA back into line?
But, really, his "popularity" only matters if there are "free and fair" elections this fall. This is what the net sifter says about the impact of recent gerrymandering in red states.
Following recent 2026 redistricting battles, Republicans are projected to net 5 to 12 seats in the U.S. House, with some estimates suggesting a higher potential gain of up to 14–18 seats depending on, for example, the final maps in Louisiana. Key gains are driven by aggressive maps in Texas (+5), Florida (+3-4), Ohio (+2), and other states, though analysts suggest the net impact may be closer to 5-7 seats due to competitive environments.
Trump the God said it out loud, 5 years ago. An election is only "rigged" if Trump's opponents win. Votes are only "illegal" if cast for Trump's opponents.
