Why MAGA is so concerned with Epstein − and why the files are unlikely to dent loyalty to Trump President Donald Trump’s base has supported him through countless controversies. But they split from him over the release of the Epstein files. Why does MAGA care so much about this issue?

“MAGA without Trump would be like the tea party.”

An anthropologist says that’s why the Epstein files matter so much to MAGA — they sit at the intersection of anti-elite conspiracy theories, Christian morality politics and deep loyalty to Trump.

Why do MAGA faithful support Trump if his ‘big beautiful bill’ will likely hurt many of them? Trump voters still reliably back the president, believing that most of the criticism of him is fake news.

@alexhinton.bsky.social answers a question we are all bewildered by: 'Why do MAGA faithful support Trump if his ‘big beautiful bill’ will likely hurt many of them?' They see him as a divine savior 'who can help ward off the threat of radical left socialism'. #USA theconversation.com/why-do-maga-...
