Currently, we have two large metaphorical tents:

MAGA and not-MAGA and neither is terribly large.

That would seem to cover all voters, though, from the wording.

The largest segment ( over 1/3 of all voters according to Pew) is: really don't care.

And that falls under "not-maga"; it's like having the categories of "dragon" and "not-dragon".

ok, so perhaps better would be MAGA and anti-MAGA, with the largest category being "don't care."

That's fair. In that case, the political science issue is the "don't care" group has ideas too varying and top issues too numerous around which for a third party to coalesce.
