They prefer it, but he's the nominee, so they'd jump off a bridge to follow him. I like when reporters ask random Trump supporters random questions on the street and they all basically say "well, I hate a dozen things about this guy and don't trust him at all, but there isn't an alternative"

Dump Trump

Hurr hurr hurr.

What's great is that because of Red MAGA, this would divide the party in such a way that it would never come back together. Blue MAGA got it's faced punched in when the time came, but Red MAGA is much much more in control of their party.

Expect people to write in DJT for decades after the guy is dead and burrired. Once DJT is out of the picture, they are well and truly fucked.

"Blue MAGA?" Lmao

There is no better word for the cult that tried to force Biden and thereby Trump on us.

Thankfully they didn't get the nation-state backing that Red MAGA got.

No one was trying to "force Biden." Biden was the candidate. No one ran against him. The only person who had control over whether he decided to bow out was Biden himself. As long as he was the candidate, fuck yes I'm going to be all-in on Biden, because the alternative is Trump. That doesn't prevent me from simultaneously observing reality and airing my concerns about his abilities to the party. The second he dropped out, every "Blue MAGA" you're on about breathed a sigh of relief and lined up behind Harris, demonstrating how what you're describing isn't even remotely comparable to "MAGA."
