MAGA is totally behind President Trump’s actions in Iran.
The far-left dishonest media is always trying to diminish America and President Trump. A recent piece by Mona Charen at The Bulwark claims that less than a third of Americans are MAGA.
AS WE SURVEY THE WRECKAGE of Trump’s second term, it is often said that half the country voted for this, or worse, half the country is fine with this. Though it is undeniable that something is deeply awry with a nation that can give a popular vote majority to a moral degenerate who did not hide his authoritarian plans, we shouldn’t act as though public opinion hasn’t shifted since the 2024 election. The question for now is: Is MAGA a majority?
In our hyperpartisan politics with paper-thin majorities, small shifts can have monumental consequences.1 It’s a game of inches. If, in this year’s midterm elections, just a few Republicans stay home and a few independents who voted Republican in 2024 support Democrats instead, we can transform the government from a budding dictatorship to a functioning republic again.
The first step is recognizing how big the problem really is. MAGA is a bit of a moving target, but a recent Economist/YouGov poll found that only 27 percent of all voters described themselves as “MAGA supporters” and a perhaps surprisingly low 54 percent of Trump voters so identified. In other words, a minority of the voting public and only a little over half of the GOP is Trump’s loyal base.
Polling is distorted these days, but Mona is way off.
NEW: There is no MAGA split on Iran.
Poll after poll show that ~85-90% of MAGA Republicans support the US strikes on Iran.
*Many* news outlets ran with stories from Tucker, Bannon, etc without checking if they represented any meaningful segment of GOP voters. They don’t.

Americans are with President Trump. They love America and love that he is getting things done that should have been addressed decades ago.
Trump supporters are in the habit of supporting trump and believing his claims, reasons and excuses.
This is normal as a default position.
The rhetoric against Iran is longstanding and well seasoned, and it even has facts loosely tied to it.
Especially the animosity against Islam, Muslims clerics, brutal governments…
Except this was not a priority for anyone I know who is an American. People who were born in America who put their ethnicity/tribal group first over America contrary to America's interests would be an exception to this, but I have no personal relationships with such.
And so the problem is this is an extremely high cost for America for a low benefit to America move. And as the high costs manifest this war and those associated with it will become unpopular, and then called certain names.
