disaffected
No longer loyal
Disaffected describes someone who has lost loyalty or enthusiasm for an institution, cause, or leader they once supported.
The word implies alienation and discontent rather than outright opposition: disaffected voters, disaffected employees.
A disaffected group hasn't necessarily defected—they've simply stopped believing: The party struggled to win back disaffected members.
