A large battleship can take a lot of small hits before it finally sinks, but there comes a moment when a bomb or a torpedo scores a decisive hit that ends up sending it to the bottom.
The decision of Marjorie Taylor Greene to resign from Congress (and Trump's GOP) and the way in which she resigned looks like just such a hit. If we see Trump as the battleship in this analogy, then MTG's resignation is like a torpedo hitting below the waterline and carving out a massive hole that will send him to the bottom.
Say what you like about MTG, but the Congresswoman from rural Georgia and the kind of "unsophisticated" voter she brought to the MAGA "big tent" were vital to Trump's success. Losing her now and in this way -- emphasising how corrupt, self-serving, "globalist," and big-business-subservient Trump really is -- seems like a death blow.
Of course, news changes fast and narratives can be massaged and managed, especially in the modern day, but without the MTGs on board, MAGA will increasingly become an army without foot soldiers or a ship with no one to man the pumps.
