Rank and File MAGA gave up their power when they cast their votes for Trump in 2024.

The power Trump has to screw them and the US is immense. For example, Trump could pardon every prisoner in the Federal penitentiary system immediately. Is this a possibility? Well he pardoned every Jan 6 insurrectionist, despite most of his voters being opposed.

SC Chief Justice John Robert’s added to the Trump presidency even more power than the Constitution had granted the presidency. What has been Trump’s response. He grabbed that additional power pushed for more and attacked the entire judiciary, including the Supreme Court. ( Thus making John Robert’s Amember of the ever-growing “I did not think the Leopard would eat My Face club).
