MAGA isn’t just withering. It’s being snuffed out — by Donald Trump himself.

This isn’t hopepilled wishful thinking from the American Left. This is what diehard conservatives are saying.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly spoke on the matter as she sees it.

The MAGA deterioration is, she says, a result of Trump having “betrayed” his base.

‘MAGA is not what it was’

On Friday, May 22, internet political commentary villains Megyn Kelly and the Hodgetwins sat down for one of the worst meetings of the minds imaginable.

However, some were taken by surprise when Kelly — who, despite the man’s crude and personal insults towards her back in 2016, has supported Donald Trump — accused the aspiring dictator of betraying his political base.

“MAGA is not what it was,” Kelly described. “MAGA is now this very, very small group of Trump diehard loyalists who have to love Mark Levin.”

Levin is a Republican who initially opposed Trump, then supported him after he received the party nomination. Levin, like some other public figures on the American Right, has spiraled and grown more zealous, defending Trump for the indefensible.

“And so that’s by definition an increasingly tiny group,” Kelly shaded. Though she seldom has good opinions, she is a Mark Levin hater. So she has one thing going for her.

Later during the same lengthy interview, Kelly observed that MAGA has changed considerably.

“I guess I’ve been surprised to see how quickly [MAGA has] shrunk down to something less formidable, by far, than it used to be,” she remarked.

That matches up with anecdotal evidence of visible signs of Trump support diminishing, and with empirical data on voters with buyer’s remorse now that they realize what they have unleashed upon the nation — and the world.

“It’s disrespectful to call Trump voters cultists,” Kelly claimed of the accurate label that such individuals often receive. “But they do have the same kind of loyalty.”

She continued: “Where it’s like ‘In Trump We Trust,’ and he can do no wrong.” Yet, astonishingly, she went on to defend this disturbing standpoint.

Opposing the idea of going to war with Iran was ‘not a throwaway line’ of his campaign, and yet …

“And I get that. You know, they’ve been burned by a lot of other politicians,” Kelly claimed. “They felt like Trump got them at a time when everybody was ignoring them.”

But Trump, too, has burned these people. And she’s not just talking about how he’s spent more than a year sabotaging the economy.

“It’s stunning to me that the people who voted for the man who said over and over ‘No new wars,’ [and] ‘No war with Iran, no Middle East wars,’” Kelly noted.

She continued: “And specifically over and over said ‘Iran’ and also said ‘The Democrats are going to get us into a war with Iran’ — that was not a throwaway line,”

This, Kelly highlights, was a massive betrayal. Even people who are fine with Trump’s defiance of the Constitution and who actively support his opposition to human rights are balking at this.

“That was a massive part of his campaigning and his promising,” Kelly reiterated.

Of course, while some have abandoned MAGA, others have doubled down — even if it means ignoring their previous stances.

“That those people on a dime were like ‘Yes, we’re pro-war with Iran! Yes, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,’” Kelly accurately characterized.

She then acknowledged: “We all know that that’s a lie. It’s so obvious that’s a lie to get us into this conflict.”

It is important that we remember that Megyn Kelly saying this does not mean that she is a good person. She emphatically is not.

Likely, she is looking into the near future — a time when Trump is out of power — and where she will stand with those whom he has alienated as the next far-right figureheads seek influence.

Though he is the former lead vocalist of Attack Attack!, Caleb Shomo is best known for taking the same roll in Beartooth.

The rocker has been married to his wife, Fleur Shomo, for more than 14 years.

He has now come out, publicly, after a prolonged period of self-examination.

Fleur is showing support for her husband.

‘I am a proudly gay man’

On Saturday, May 23, Caleb took to his Instagram page to share a lengthy and heartfelt message.

“There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding my personal life as of late,” he began, “and I feel compelled to set the record straight before it affects those I love any further.”

Caleb announced: “I am a proudly gay man.”

He shared: “This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now.”

The 33-year-old rocker, who grew up as the son of a pastor, wrote that his period of denial and suppression of his sexuality has been “difficult to navigate.”

“I spent a decade burying feelings with alcohol,” Caleb confessed.

“And honestly when I decided to put it down and focus on exploring why I felt this way for so long,” he shared, “it’s been a direct path to me reconciling with my sexuality in hopes that it will eventually lead to me experiencing self love.”

Caleb shared that he will “whole heartedly and fully” express himself on his next album.

“Wherever it takes me I will follow and I refuse to water any part of it down, from the music, to the lyrical content, and way I portray myself,” he vowed.

Caleb emphasized: “I will only do what makes me happy at the deepest level and what is the most honest depiction of who I am. … I am trying to finally be proud of who I am and I think this is a massive part of that journey.”

‘Holding these things in only hurt you and those around you’

“I encourage anyone who’s struggling with who they are to give yourself grace. Give yourself patience. Be honest with yourself,” Caleb encouraged.

“Do the hard work instead of burying it down as deep as you physically can thinking it will change like I did,” he counseled.

“Holding these things in only hurt you and those around you,” Caleb advised.

Ultimately, he concluded: “Love you all, and hopefully this is a step in the right direction to loving myself one day.”

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to Caleb. Being yourself is a key component to happiness. If our society weren’t riddled with homophobia, transphobia, and similar cultural bigotries, more people would be able to do so sooner.

Obviously, many immediately thought of Caleb’s wife, whom he married around April 1, 2012.

Fleur made her own Instagram post, sharing an honest message about her husband’s revelation.

“I will always want to love, protect, and support Caleb,” she emphasized, even while acknowledging confusing and difficult months.

Some spouses sometimes feel that coming out — in any capacity, but particularly if they are gay or trans or otherwise expect the relationship to end — would be unfair to their partner.

However, like parents who loathe each other but avoid divorce because they share a child, trying to live a lie ultimately does a disservice to everyone involved.
