His base is still with him. Frankly, I can't find a material distinction between the beliefs of his base and the belief that Trump is the physical embodiment of America (and therefore anyone who opposes him in any way is an enemy of America).

However, his base is smaller than it seems like it is. It definitely does not include everyone who voted for him. A substantial fraction of his voters just prioritized other things over the rule of law.

That prioritization was a critical mistake - both because he was never going to deliver on those other things, and because giving up rule of law is catastrophic. It is understandable, though. It's these people who may be starting to break fron Trump.
