I hate that I’m reading this and agreeing. This woman is a fucking monster but i sure can’t argue with these points.
You’re not agreeing with her, she’s agreeing with you - as it is her world view that’s changed, while yours has remained consistent.
And also if she was the monarch instead of the current one, she absolutely would have done the same as Trump is doing right now.
Re-read the damn tweet lmao. Her view hasn’t changed on anything, she still supports all the shitty things she did before, she just doesn’t want her bills going up or for her family to receive death threats from her own party.
Don’t worry, she isn’t the one who had these thoughts. You aren’t actually agreeing with her, she just said something that someone wrote for her that you happen to agree with.
I mean, it’s the same kind of rhetoric trump was spouting ten years ago. It’s meant to pander to a wide demographic who’s “sick of the status quo”.
The problem comes when they get the power they promise they’ll do something with, but they decide to enrich themselves instead.
It means that things are that bad. That people not caught up in literal cult-like behavior are livid over all of this, even of their disagree on nearly everything else.
“…pro abortion…”
She’s a grifter through and through. Just trying on a new “look”
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.
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.
“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.
She only knows how to oppose. Once she got elected and had actual power she was like the dog who caught the car.
Agreed. Maybe others who don’t do that should start using her words more. Maybe she could sale her speeches now? If she says stuff like this she could make good money.
Shut the fuck up, Marge, you’re one of the people that enabled this shit.
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
Don’t believe her bullshit. She helped them with literally everything she is now claiming to oppose. Its part of the strategy, her “feud” with MAGA is another grift. This is how they sway centrists to fascism, by having one mouthpiece suddenly become “reasonable” and ease moderates into the pool when they’re too afraid to cannonball into the deep end.
I don’t know much else about her voting record, but hasn’t she always been supportive of the release of the Epstein files even going against Trump and the rest of the republican party ?
Small edit for missed word
Yes. She was one of only four Republicans in the House to cross the aisle and vote for the Epstein Files Transparency Act: Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. It’s also pretty clear that she is on the outs with Trump now specifically because of her support for that legislation and consistent demands to release all the files.
You can say that but the real reason why she is able to swoop in here and take so much free credit is because the DNC leadership is silent on it.
LMAO! Just the picture of that guy is enough for me to recognize it
Heartbreaking
Stop trying to follow the logic here, because that never occurred to 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.
Agreed. She’s just grasping at any little tiny bit of attention left. She’s in desperation mode
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.
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.
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
she quit either the DAY she got her pension, or slightly after. She’s a reprehensible person. Fuck MTG
She stood around while trump and co threatened many other families, then when her family gets threatened? “oh, woe is me!”
