It doesn’t matter whether or not people “leave MAGA” , it matters how they vote. Are they fed up enough with it all that they would vote for a “Liberal”? Even one who’s not at all Liberal , but just has a “D” after their name? If not, then their “leaving MAGA” is just a temper tantrum with no practical effect.
That’s a very narrow way of looking at democracy. Voting is only one thing you can do to affect change. It’s arguably not even the best way.
Since Trump took office, members of Congress have been talking about getting death threats if they don’t do everything Trump says. This has had a real effect on what Congress has done in response. To a certain extent, members of Congress always get death threats, but the amplitude seems much, much higher than it has ever been. This has had a real effect on what they’ve done against Trump–both GOP and Dems alike.
If MAGA stops their support, then that goes away, and it will have direct impacts.

They don’t have to vote at all. And absence of a vote is still helpful.

It matters if we get some real reformers running and not controlled opposition.
Do you guys still think you are going to get to vote? That’s cute. Have you not been paying attention?!
No, there will be an election. The only question is how ratfucked it will be.
No there won’t be, there will be a dog and pony show instead.
