Yup, I'd never consider Greene an ally. But, the enemy of my enemy is a useful tool against my enemy. The more conservative voices calling out Trump's corruption and self-serving, the better. The MAGA base is never going to listen to anyone who is politically to the left of Atilla the Hun, but someone like Greene may be able to peel a few of them off into the "disaffected, non-voters" camp.
the people who need to internalize what she's saying... they don't listen to women
Give Marjorie credit for at least figuring it out. Although a very tiny, tiny proportion of MAGAts ever see consequences, women seem to be overrepresented:
Marjorie's experience recently getting shut out of running for Senate or Governor by the MAGA establishment is at the top of her mind, of course.
Elsie Stefanik drew the short stick too, she was nominated to be UN Ambassador, and a bunch of other Republicans in the House were also nominated for positions in the administration. All those other men got their promotions, but when it was time to affirm Elsie's they told her the House majority was now too thin. Then she launched her own campaign for NY governor, only to find that once a male Republican announced his campaign, all her support evaporated.
And with all the problems recently with ICE, from Trump to Stephen Miller and all down the chain, I bet Kristi Noem will be the first to face any consequences. She might be offered up as a sacrifice to keep the rest of it going.
She knew the whole time. But she was in the inside of the grift. Now she got pushed out and is mad about it.
Don't think she didn't know it was a grift the entire time. She got in, got hers and is now getting out so she can do the whole 'news consultant' gig. The only thing I'll give her credit for is that she might just open a couple of eyes... but I don't think she's doing that out of a sense of service to her country, but instead it is just part of her personal rebranding.
They all know it's a grift. She wanted the grift. What she figured out is that she will never really be part of the boys' club. When consequences are forced onto them, they will land disproportionally on the ones without penises.
MTG is smart*, amoral, and self interested. Of course she'd be one of the first rats off the ship.
I hate this all or nothing monolith mindset. No, not all of the MAGAts are the same. There are some who will see her saying this and leave. Your mindset is one of failure, where there's nothing to be done (besides civil war, which won't be as nice as you think). We need to spread that it's even too bad for her, and she was one of the most ardent supporters. Let them know all the "good" things they wanted were bullshit. We can get some of them to leave.
Atilla the Hun is actually too left for them, he actually listened to the patriarch of Rome and didn't kill him. Also had the good sense to die after fucking shit up, wine makes a damned good blood thinner and he fucked himself up on it before getting a bloody nose.
Apparently Trump loves pounding aspirin, so we have that going for us.
Marjorie is more progressive than most of the democrats at this point.
This is insane.
She is against war, against Israel, for healthcare. Against geo-engineering. Wants justice on epstein.
And thinks Jewish space lasers are a liberal conspiracy to attack christians from space.
Well you think the establishment democrats are the people to lead the resistance, so you aren't one to talk pal.
As if there were enough of us alone to take back the country, we need to cut into their people. And you are being manipulated, by Israel at that.
I like how you speak for me so you can have something to attack.
Idk what you are talking about, you just repudiated everything about her because of the comment about Israel using directed energy weapons from space that was weaponized by Israel's superfans to discredit her opposition to them. You now repudiating every subject she agrees with, because she's not pure enough for you on other subjects, your source for that purity standard? Israel.
And I am the asshole here. Maybe you could look at how some of these groups are playing you. As I said look at how people that are pure enough by the standard you are using to disqualify marjorie leaves you with insufficient people to win. And look at the people encouraging you to do that are Israel, and people that work for people they are blackmailing with video evidence of them fucking children through epstein.
Dude, you’ve decided (without evidence) that I’m the Frankenstein monster off all your persecutions and had an outburst that should land you in mental care.
Go away. I’m not reading your diatribe.
I am directly responding to your ad hominem response to my declaration that Marjorie is more progressive than most of the democratic party at this point, which is more a condemnation of the democratic party's degeneration than a ringing endorsement of Marjorie. You've offered nothing of substance, from your calling my comment "insane," to declaring victimhood when I used reason to make the point.
Which tracks, you are copying the people in charge, and that is how they do it, use emotional arguments and slander to obscure the issues, because reason repudiates their "reality."
