Something about a broken clock. Just because they can make a good point doesn’t mean they aren’t shit tier people.
If there was only someone inside the system who could have actually had some change instead of sucking on the same teet she is now bashing. Fuck MTG
DHS raids MTG’s house in 3…2…
This is levels of bizzaro world that only anime or drugs can induce. Wtf is going on? Whatever it is, I love it
A lot of people talking about how this is just the latest step in the grift, but really, I’ve never thought she was a grifter.
Narrow-minded bigot, yes. Dumb as a bag of hammers, sure. Utterly hoodwinked by the right-wing outrage media, definitely. But she always seemed like she really believed in it. She thought she could achieve her worldview by cozying up to Trump. Even after she realized he was all smoke and mirrors, she still tried to make it work because she thought she could get it if she just tried a little harder; right up until she realized that she had been usurped in the cult.
Which honestly almost makes it worse, when you think about it. But at least this way she’s peeling off some more of the MAGA faithful.
I feel like I fell into some alternate universe. We elected an entire evil clown college to run the government and MTG is actually making sense.
She’s just an opportunist who saw the winds change and decided to get out while the getting was good. She’s probably positioning herself now to run as the Republican candidate in 2028 and will campaign on a platform of “disillusionment” with the current regime. There’s already a split, not a big enough one, but I think she wants to be the head of it.
Yes, and the same money that backed Trump will back her and the net results will be the same.
It’s amazing that she can come full circle on so many issues and still not have the self awareness to understand how the flaws in conservative reasoning which get you trump are the same ones which condition her thoughts on abortion and the various other right wing causes she still supports. It’s like a broiler chicken learning that she exists to be mechanically butchered and unceremoniously consumed by malevolent apes, and then demanding a different color cage.
She hasn’t come full circle and anything. It’s all performative nonsense. She’s trying to rebrand herself before the ship goes down
Her sudden change of heart is nothing more than an effort by her to escape the justice she has coming for helping all this treason get moving. Her former allies have abandoned her. She is not capable of shame for her actions. Magat marge is the same gormless piece of shit as she ever was and would still be waving the magat cult banner if she was still welcome there. She can have redemption when she dies for it. Until then, she should keep her worthless words inside to spare us the foul wind that carries them.
Stop trying to follow the logic here, because that never occurredto her when drafting this post. This is all political kabuki. She can see clear as day that Trump’s cohort are burning through what little political power they have remaining and will soon be ousted, and she’s positioning herself as the sane conservative candidate by distancing herself from their most extreme decisions/policies. When the dust clears she’ll have a head start campaigning for whatever office she wants.
Make no mistake, she’s a true believer in all the shit that got us to this fucked up situation we find ourselves in. The first part of her post is just the “normal” kind of extremism that seems blase compared to the firehose of daily scandals coming from the WH every day.
Agreed. She’s just grasping at any little tiny bit of attention left. She’s in desperation mode
What’s the end goal here? Does she have a podcast or a book deal or something?
2028 run for President is my guess
Oh shit.
That’s a good guess, actually.
What she is saying and the fact she’s saying it publicly is actually very important. She’s showing others who follow(ed) Trump uncritically that it’s possible to hold conservative values and still call out the egregious actions of the Trump administration and the performative propaganda they use to justify them. The fact that she was part of the problem makes her actions even more important.
“Even a broken Hitler is right twice a day.” /s
I’m of the opinion that a broken Hitler needs to be kicked some more.
So you’re saying that you were a complete asshole on purpose and not because you’re an idiot? Interesting.
She’s still an asshole. She’s fine with all the other stuff happening just like all the rest of the Republicans.
People in cages? Killing people on boats? Dismantling the government? Installing a dictator?
Fine.
Me paying more for groceries and gas because war?
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
I think she actually fell deep into Pizzagate, maybe due to actual concern about a pedophile ring, heard about the Epstein files, made it her whole thing, and then when Trump buried them so hard it finally actually turned her a little bit. Then she got death threats from Trump supporters for even slightly criticizing him, and that turned her hesitance into full-on rage.
For better or worse, her whole thing is being some sort of populist crusader against the shadowy cabal of pedophiles. She’s just figured out that Trump is part of that shadowy cabal. It’s still “me taking on the hidden secret conspiracy” as her whole thing.
Yeah, I suspect that she’s fundamentally a true believer in what she says, and I think that’s why her party finds her hard to work with. She’s headstrong, sincere, bigoted, insane, and pretty gullible. She seems to have grown disillusioned once she realized a lot of politicians on her side aren’t like her.
It must be strange to be a true believer surrounded by opportunists.
She just needs attention, all the time.
Yeah because she wasn’t complicit in any of it.
I’ll never understand why people give the shittiest people alive attention like this. MTG is a poser, nothing she says is worth consideration.
Instead, let’s share what people who are fighting for justice are saying.
