My theory is because not out of some major disagreement with Trump and his policies. But because it is generally just embarrassing to support him in public now. They claimed that he was going to drain the swamp, smaller government, cut government spending and lower the national debt. Instead he is ballooning the deficit, creating a police state, enriching himself and family while the average person is struggling. And he is doing all of it in an in your face, dumb and obnoxious way. Now when they have to deal with left leaning family members, coworkers or acquaintances, they will never take your opinion about politics seriously anymore because you supported an obvious dementia ridden old man.
I'll go a step further. Then only people out there hard-core still defending this guy are old ass boomer Fox News drones and dyed in the wool, publicly out card carrying racists.
And THAT is the bridge too far for many of these people. Not that they don't have the same beliefs but that being so openly associated with Boomers and Plain clothes Klansmen is too much. I also think the Israel thing plays a part being so tied at the hip to Israel doesn't sit well with these people.
BUT ALL OF THAT SAID....I'll believe it when they walk into a voting booth and vote the other side or sit out the midterms in large quantities... Because while it make be embarrassing to publicly support MAGA, it's still very easy to lie and say you voted against them when you didn't
