MAGA Not Split

Is the MAGA movement split over the attack on Iran? Power Line's John Hinderaker examines the evidence and concludes it is not

Recent polling shows strong unified support for our actions in Iran. Hinderaker has the polling numbers for you. 

I believe the opinion you read claiming such a split is wishful thinking on the part of left-leaning journalists and op-ed writers. These cite the viewers of Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens as their evidence. 

Those two are outliers on the right in much the same way that Sen. John Fetterman is an outlier on the left. I bet Fetterman has followers who are MAGA but who like that he agrees with their program. Who's to say Carlson and Owens don't have a bunch of lefties who follow them for the same reasons?

Polling Hinderaker cites implies strongly the "crossover followers" hypothesis could be true.
