Megyn Kelly says MAGA down to ‘Trump diehards’ who ‘love Mark Levin’
[TheHill] Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly
…that’s “Conservative”. She’s not been conserving anything worthy for her four million subscribers for a while. This is the woman who earlier this month praised Islam, who pushes Jew hate and protects Tucker Carlson, which suggests her understanding of thr universe is limited…
said in an interview posted online Friday that President Trump’s MAGA movement has shrunk down to a small group of “diehard loyalists” of the president.
That’s certainly one estimation of the situation. Not correct, but one estimation.
“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 on “Hodgetwins Podcast.” “And so that’s, by definition, an increasingly tiny group.”
I imagine, from context, that Mr. Levin is some sort of pundit, like Ms Kelly. Which proves how right — or not — she is.
She later added, “It’s a small group. So, I guess I’ve been surprised to see how quickly it’s shrunk down to something less formidable, by far, than it used to be.”

Kelly, a former Fox News host who now has her own show on SiriusXM, has criticized Trump amid the war with Iran. During the interview, she slammed those in the MAGA movement who supported the conflict despite Trump promising on the campaign trail not to drag the country into another overseas war.

“That was not a small thing, that was not a throwaway line,” she said. “That was a massive part of his campaigning and his promising … Those people, on a dime, were like, ‘Yes, we’re pro-war with Iran. Yes, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.'”

1 I live in the blue state of Northern Virginia. I know a few hardcore Dem voters who work for the GIVERNment. They will never vote for a Trump or a conservative. But in conversations they will concede Trump’s approach to Border, Immigration, even major parts of foreign policy…. are positive for America. And they admit Trump is eroding Dem support for Leftist candidates. Trump gives nearly every voter a reason to vote for right of middle or conservative. What they do not like is Trump the person.

3 /\ What they do not like is Trump the person.

A clash of personalities and leadership styles? Perhaps they are simply jealous or envious of his business success and wealth. Everything he stands for is anathema to socialism.

Wealth, politics, success, personality, popularity; if you're leftest looking for something to hate, there's a long list.

Northern Virginia is the leftest Valhalla. Few of them want change. Fewer yet ever intend to leave it.

5 @3 I support and respect what Trump is doing for this country, but he is not always likable as a person. Politics is changing and not everyone likes what it has become. Trump isn't willing to let insults slide and his intelligent, but less than subtle use of social media to counter insults and to go after enemies bothers many that feel like politics & politicians were more 'dignified' in the past.

6 I find it impossible to listen to Levin or Hannity. I did listen to Carlson and Kelly during the period of time that they were with Trump. I actually don’t often listen to Trump or read many of his Tweets.
My focus is on the enemy within our government. Trump is the only living president that I have seen fight that enemy. I support him because of that fight. I support libs like Tulsi and RFK Jr, as well, because they are in the fight along with Trump. This fight needs to be won. That is the focus. When MTG quits and collaborates with Code Pink, I stop supporting her. In general, I don’t go back to supporting unreliable people.

You're not the only one.

9 or two - I usually agree with their positions on issues, it's just their delivery and persona that is off-putting;
Hopefully when Old Yeller's balls finally drop so his voice isn't as high, or Hannity's pomposity fades, that may change. One of Rush Limbaugh's talents was to keep Me nodding along or smiling while listening.

10 Violent attacks from Democrats might make Trump supporters think twice about their MAGA hats but it won't affect the way they vote.

Ronald Reagan is no longer available. Sorry. We do the best we can with what we have. In fairness, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris could both be quite obnoxious in their own ways.

12 I would add that Democrat politicians are not subject to the non-stop insults emanating from the mainstream media. People like Stephen Colbert and Whoopi Goldberg deserve whatever Trump says about them.

13 Northern Virginia is the Leftist Valhalla.

The U.S. Constitution establishes the federal district, known as the District of Columbia, under Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, which grants Congress the authority to create a seat of government that is free from state control. What was the constitutionally legal basis of the return of the two Northern Virginia counties? There was none. Time to rectify that action.

14 @11 & 12. I don't disagree, although the MSM did it's best to cover that up and far too many people still see Biden as a kindly and sometimes confused older uncle instead the the vindictive and nasty person he actually is.
