Did you mean, "Trump is to MAGA, as Taylor Swift is to swifties"?

That is, the MAGA cult around Trump is comparable to the fan-cult around Taylor Swift? (Neither of which can accept imperfections in their idol?)

The way it was originally written compares Trump and Swift to each other (and MAGA and swifties to each other), which doesn't make much sense. But from the context it's clear you're comparing the nature of their fans. It follows more to switch a few words around.

Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to make sense of things that don't add up with my tired, stressed, autistic brain.

Thank you for this, thought I was going crazy because it didn't make sense.
