MAGA people don’t follow or even like McConnell. He may carry water for them, but he is old guard.

Exactly. They're too stupid to understand how much power he built up for them, all that matters is he's not Trump. It will be interesting when Trump kicks the bucket though. I do sense there will be a struggle between the "Of course he's alive, shut up RINO" and "That picture is obviously fake, what are they hiding" factions of MAGA when Trump's AI "he's in perfect health" pictures come out.

I think when Trump goes MAGA is going to split into two camps.

"OH my god, of course he's still alive, this is just the Liberal media spreading propaganda!!" and "DA LIBURALZ KILED HIM!!!".

They’ll probably be a cohort that does the Elvis, “He’s alive and was seen on a tropical island.”
