As someone in Kentucky, I can tell you that among the MAGA people I see around here, opinions about Israel are less important than who is seen to be the biggest Trump ass-kisser.
I know one MAGA guy who spends most of his time bitching and moaning about job, prices, and healthcare, but still litters every public place he visits with weird “own the libs” tracts that say things like “Trump is your president.”
Their votes weren’t swayed by his views on Israel, despite where his opponent’s money was coming from.
Trump is everything to these people and since Massie wasn’t “ride or die” on Trump, he was no longer part of the in group.
Is it stupid? Yes. But it really isn’t any more complex than that.

Ignorantly voting to protect pedos and the Epstein class.

But there is no foreign influence in U S elections/s

Are there no republicans in Kentucky younger than 64 years?

Pretty sure Trump wanted Massie gone because Massie wants to see who all the pedos are in the Epstein Files, and Trump is all over them, as are Trump’s allies.

And apparently they solidly approve of pedos.

And protect child rapists – that part was rather noteworthy.

It’s wrong to saddle the boomers with all this. Plenty of polls show that my fellow Gen-Xers are proud members of Donald Trump’s Empty Heads Club Band.

Masey voted the party line 95% of the time. He played the role of the Renegade Republican because he saw it as a path to move his career forward (and it failed). Expect him to be selling a book inside of a year or hosting some podcast. Don’t expect him to do anything that benefits anyone besides himself.

I hate saying it, because it’s my age group, but there are more GenX MAGAs than Boomets.

Massie was a litmus test for MAGA. is this an Ideology, with arguments and beliefs like they claim it is, or is it a Cult that does whatever their Prophet, Donald Trump says. If MAGA is an ideology, then Massie should have won, because he has a much more “MAGA” voting record than the guy who ran against him. But he went against the prophet, because the prophet went against the ideology. He stopped being “America First” and started following Israel’s demands, he is corrupt, not “draining the swamp” et cetera, but Massie lost, and MAGA proved that it is a Cult with no ideology

Can Massie run as an independent? He should if he can.
