... MAGA promised domination. While Trump's second term has dismantled diversity, equity and inclusion programs with surgical precision and rolled out never-ending culture wars, the president is facing a rebellion of unmet expectations. A coalition that once prided itself on lockstep loyalty is fracturing into factions: the true believers who demand mass arrests and deportations yesterday, the GOP careerists urging patience and "process," and the right-wing influencers who gin up rage for profit.

@#1 ... Instead there is a sense of rage that right-wing grievance doesn't automatically deliver results. ...

imo, that's a good observation in the article.

A politician who tries (and may get) votes because of the anger and victimization they stoked in their supporters does not seem to translate into actual actions by those politicians. Indeed, the stoking seems to be a means to attain the office, and then just do what the office-seeker wants to do. Constituents no longer matter, because the election was won.

Was that of more benefit his MAGA base, or his ego?
