I feel like there is a divide in MAGA. One part is elitist rich capitalists who want to be able to exploit as much of the country and its people as possible, as unhindered as possible and while giving the least possible back to the community, and the poorer, less educated people who fall for the "culture war" distraction.

Trump won't win over the latter group by removing Obamacare and this group far outnumbers the former.

The problem is the news/media bubble that latter group lives in often has them convinced that it's the Democrats who causing these harms to them.
