Its also not hard to appear sensible when your subject is frothing at the mouth while committing genocide.

MTG is absolutely an antisemite and not someone we need to give more airtime too. Don't care if she's railing against people I don't like.

What part of “the California wildfires were started by space lasers controlled by the Jews” was antiemetic? /s (because we’re are living in that kind of timeline)

I agree, but she's still useful. We shouldn't just give up that utility because she's a horrible person. The other side is doing whatever they can to hold on to power, and we need to use whatever we can to stop them. Being too pure is how we let them take power in the first place.

Idk, that strategy can definitely backfire. I'm sure significant chunks of the GOP regretted backing the 'useful idiot' Trump once he grew too powerful to control. Maybe what we should do with their conspiracy theorists, grifters and propagandists, is starve them of attention?

Being too pure is how we let them take power in the first place.

Was it though? Was Biden too pure? Or are you saying that this all comes down to "PC culture"?

I really fear this angle. "we can use her" will effectively sane-wash this person and make her seem more reasonable to the less informed voters. I don't want a MTG presidency.

She hates Jewish people. I hate the Israeli government and the horrid Nazi things they're doing. We are not the same, Marjorie.

I also don't look like a horse that got kicked in the face by another horse.

See also: Tucker Carlson. Who has been aggressively attacking the Israeli government on Gaza, not because he gives a shit about Muslim lives, but because he's an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. He thinks Jews want to murder all Gentiles, his beliefs come straight from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and every heinous act the government of Israel commits reinforces his belief that all Jews are evil.

And he, and Greene, and the rest of the right wing fever swamp conspiracy theorists, are fucking delighted that the American left is turning against Israel, because it gives them a new audience to try and recruit into genuine hardcore anti-Semitism.

The enemy of my enemy, in this case, is not my friend. You want to platform voices speaking against the Israeli government? Platform Palestinian voices. Don't give racist trash like Greene a single additional view.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but MTG could've prevented half of that by not resigning.

Also, one wonders if she's going to put her money where her mouth is and campaign for Shawn Harris (the Democrat running against Fuller).

[–] MyPornViewingAccount@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No, shes trying to make statements like this so she can run for Senate. 'See im not a maga lunatic anymore!'

From what I've heard her district is so deep red campaigning for the Democrat means nothing. Which is why she resigned when she started getting death threats, this is deep red deep deep red country. No fucking chance of a Democrat getting elected, not these fucking Democrats.

The antisemites are adopting the language and style of the anti-Zionist left to sane-wash their delusional beliefs. Don't fall for it.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 20 points 1 month ago (2 children)

MTG wants every brown muslim put in a concentration camp for extermination. She only cares that christians have been killed by Israel and that they're 'tricking' trump into fucking his 2nd term up.

Any leftist who falls for her bullshit is a brainless proto-chud

I have to wonder if she would say the same thing about any other organizations donating large sums of money to candidates. The issue is more broad than just pro-Israel groups.

Did MTG and Fetterman have some kind of Freaky Friday body swap?

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

Marjorie is very much still on message. Shes 100% an anti-semite. She's just trying to obfuscate her antisemitism through the current discourse over AIPAC.

And the people who elected her to office are set to hire someone just as bad to take her place.

Being against Israel committing genocide and wrecking a people through forced colonization (AKA Zionism) doesn't make you an anti-semite but thinking that Jews are behind all the bad things in the world does count as antisemitism. And her record is painted RED with with such antisemitic rhetoric.

Fetterman had a stroke and its really a well known phenomenon that a stroke (or any heavy brain trauma) can completely change a person's personality.

You're not agreeing with her, she's agreeing with you.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 month ago

The fact that you're pointing out, Marjorie, is not an anti-Semitic conspiracy.

That doesn't mean all your other anti-semitic conspiracies are true though.

If the Rightwing was in any way form or shape genuine, they would've long been calling Traitor any elected representative in their nation which openly represented a different nation.

In countries like the US and the UK the Traitor ball is right there, in the open, ready to score for any Nationalist or even Patriot politician and has been there for more than a decade.

It shows just how many of the flag-shaggers are in fact frauds (doubtlessly many being Traitors themselves) rather than Nationalists or Patriots, that they refuse to score such an obvious open.

MTG's track record on Israel is getting more and more reliably correct.

But that track record starts and stops at Israel.

She is still a cunt on almost every other issue.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

MTG’s track record on Israel is getting more and more reliably correct.

I don't believe her for a second. She started off with space lasers and now that there's something real and obvious she can blame on (((THEM))) she's taking the opportunity. But even if AIPAC exploded tomorrow she'd go back to pushing racist conspiracy theories because she's a massive racist piece of shit.

Unless I missed it she said she got fooled by Dump (never mind that it took her a decade to realize that raping kids was bad, good job Marge, here's your fucking cookie), not that she was wrong about her past racism.

MTG is a brazen opportunistm who never believed half the populist shit she said. She will say whatever benefits her in the moment. If AIPAC knocked on her door tomorrow with enough funding, she would turn on a dime.

"bought two congressional seats" is where I have the problem. Doesn't matter who they bought them for.

I still don't understand how saying Benjamin Mileikowsky is committing a genocide against the semitic people who have lived there for thousands of years is antisemitic...

Dude speaks Hebrew and changed his last name to Netenyahu, that doesn't change his DNA.

He's a Polish guy committing genocide, saying that is in no way antisemitism.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children)

Dude speaks Hebrew and changed his last name to Netenyahu [sic]

Point of order: Benjamin Netanyahu was born "Benjamin Netanyahu" in Tel Aviv in 1949. His father, Benzion (born 1910), changed his surname from Mileikowsky after migrating to Mandatory Palestine in the 1920s from Warsaw. Never at any point was Benzion's son "Benjamin Mileikowsky".

If you're going to make this into an argument, at least bother to get basic facts right.


Edit: Maybe more importantly, don't exploit in bad faith the poor construction of the word "antisemitism"; you and I both know it means prejudice against Jews regardless of the fact something like "Judeophobe" would've been better. That's shitty, cheap "gotcha" semantics, not an actual argument for why calling out genocide isn't antisemitic (if anything, it's just overcomplicating it and making it look bad, especially because "Semite" as an ethnicity is heavily dated). If Netanyahu weren't ethnically Polish, would it matter? No? So who fucking cares?

We're going to owe this woman one hell of an apology if it turns out Israel does have a space based orphan melting laser system.

I know this is going to sound weird to 21 century digital boys living in our alt-facts dark timeline, but this is how politics is supposed to work. Where even the (formerly) fringe (now voice of reason- Overton'ed) lady recognizes obvious threats and we agree on material reality. Historically, being controlled by outside interests has gone poorly for nations, kingdoms, people just trying to hunt buffalo, etc...

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My guess is she handled all her own social media stuff and her innate stupidity worked well with conservatives and then she reached a breaking point where it stopped working as well and now she has aides posting for her.

You don't go from Jewish space lasers and harrassing school shooting survivors to posting things that generally make sense. Her troglodyte brain can't make that change on its own.
