In a way, they are admitting they are a cult. A cult not following a cause, an idea, a cult following one man, Trump. They are saying things like this, I voted for Trump, but I am not a Trumper. I still love Trump, but I am not a Trumper.
In general, I don't think Trump voters every cared, agreed, with everything Trump said or did. Of course they liked some of his ideas, but what they were really following was what Trump symbolized. They see things in Trump that do not exist, it's a con. Many Trump voters don't follow politics, some never voted until their hero showed up.
From the beginning they saw Trump as someone who hated politicians, politics, like they did. He would clean up Washington. They believe Trump is honest because of the way he attacks other politicians. Because of this they believe Trump is fighting for them, protecting them, so he can do no wrong. Trump voters want Trump as president , period. They don't really care what he does while he is there. This was hero worshipping from the start. It's kind of like the OJ trial. Millions of people loved OJ, he was a hero to them. They could never believe OJ killed his wife. They could never believe OJ was an evil man. No matter how much evidence you showed them.
There are hardcore Trump voters who are die hard MAGA followers, they wear the hats, go to the rallies, most Trump voters are not.
When Trump fades from view, so will MAGA, so will the cult of Trump. Many Trump voters will return to what they did before. Back to hating politics, politicians, many will not vote again until another savior appears. They could be waiting a long time because Trump is a one of a kind freak accident that cannot be repeated. Many will try to repeat what Trump did, they will act like Trump, say the same things Trump says, they will fail. They will fail because they are not Trump.
