My only hope in our (for now) near collapse is that the MAGA movement is a bunch of disparite fringe groups who bend to Trump because he's a selfish, malliable idiot with no agenda for himself other than 'give me money and tell me I'm awesome'

Put a competent idiot like Vance or Pence in there leading the charge and the religious right will suddenly be controlling the other groups.

Suddenly the billionaires, the pedophiles, the racists, the Qannons, the anti vac, the poor, the Nazis will all feel left out.

I think the religious right will always have the pedophile vote. Religion is the only system that promises to let them walk free; put pedophilia on the same level as any other sin, and the promise is that no one may judge you thanks to the forgiveness you received privately.

Preach. But there's a different set of weirdos running those camps. The true believer grifters with their megachurch bullshit and the rich weirdos who scam workers out of millions wilhile doing coke and raping young women. Their Interests only align soo much

I dunno… the religious right seems to be made up of the groups you said will feel left out.

You can already see the 'dont trust the gov' weirdos like Margery Green breaking from the MAGA umbrella, as the fscists are looking to consolidate power with the government.

It's being held together by lots of money and a very malliable dictator that's dumb as a rock.

Anyone with an agenda or personality will cause friction.
