As to why it (IMO) qualifies:

"My children are 22, 25, and 27. I will literally fight ANYONE for their future," Greene wrote. "And their future and their entire generation's future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR."

Hence, she feels her support is threatening her kids.

"MTG getting her face eaten" was not on my 2025 bingo card, though she is in the early stage of face eating.

It’s actually a core tenant of actual “maga” not just “trump supporters” maga is extremely isolationist, a lot of them have experienced the Iraq war or had a child who did, it’s been maybe one of the very few consistent stances from maga from the start, they are staunchly against foreign war, “America first” is an explicitly isolationist slogan

This being so important to maga was actually one of the things I thought about first when I read about the Iran strikes, he’s absolutely abandoning a big chunk of the true believers and the thing about cults is it often only takes one thing to “shatter the glass” so to speak for some members, it just has to be the right thing to trigger it… there might be some serious fall out for him here at home over this
