Oops, is that second non-existent criticism?
I think not. At least, not in the sense that was being raised above.
After reading the replies to my Lindsay Graham link, I think the critique is that while some MAGA supporters are willing to note that they have some differences on policy with the President (such as "I think there should be more federal efforts to restrict abortion"; "I think there should be fewer H1-B visas"), none of them are willing to move beyond observing a policy difference to actually criticizing Trump himself.
For example, there's a difference between expressing disagreement with Trump's J6/SS security detail decisions and taking the next step to observe, "Hey, Donald Trump is hasty or doesn't thoroughly consider the consequences of his actions or is often motivated more by political affiliations/grievances than actual considerations of what's good for the country." When members of the opposing parties do things that MAGA disagrees with, they are always evidence of those members' deep flaws - either they have malicious intent towards America or they have huge personal defects. But when Trump does something they disagree with, it's never because of any flaw with Trump.
TBH, I don't think this is unique to MAGA. Everyone tends to believe that their "in group" people are doing the best they can, have the best interests of the country at heart, and so might just have some reasonable differences or make mistakes - but that members of the opposing "out group" have genuinely bad motivations or are irredeemably corrupt or what have you.
But that's the larger criticism.
