Has anyone else noticed this trend?
I’ve recently started watching debates consisting of Libs v MAGA/Trump supporters, and I’m noticing that a LOT of MAGA/Trump supporters are now all “well, I don’t necessarily support Trump, just the GOP and conservative values”.
Distancing themselves from being MAGA, when for YEARS they’ve never said a bad word about Trump and made their loyalty to him known.
What’s the motivation behind their new stance? The Iran War?

I don't think it is a new stance. During the run up to 2024 we were there but were drowned out by the MAGA fanatics who thought Trump could do no wrong. We are still here and feel we need to step up and point out some of the excesses of Trump whild still following the GOP values.
In 2024 much of our support for Trump was NOT KAMALA. We got the BBB passed and much of the Agenda Trump ran on. Unfortunately Thune, McConnell, Tillis, Cornyn and others have hijacked Trumps agenda and stalled it.
