Michael Flynn, a onetime national security adviser to former President Donald Trump, was videotaped in Texas over the weekend pushing talking points of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory and also seeming to endorse a coup in the United States, though he later said he doesn't back a coup.

Flynn is one of many Trump acolytes who, along with the former president himself, continue to push the lie that Trump actually won the 2020 election.

Flynn's claims on the issue are just one way in which Trump allies are trying to maintain the MAGA movement. A review of what Trump alums are up to shows that there are two distinct groups: those who are going all-in on Trump and MAGA, often creating new entities to institutionalize the movement outside of established GOP circles; and those who are going more traditional conservative routes.

In that way, the split echoes how Trump has created a rift in the Republican Party, with more establishment figures sidelined.
