I really hate her and don't want her as a representative. That having been said, she is a little more like what their party should be. If we are gonna stick with this piece of shit two-party system, then the party platform should be different solutions to what we agree are the problems. I don't understand how the fuck we got to a point where everybody is struggling to make ends meets, and one party is saying that it's difficult to make ends meet and we need to regulate businesses better while improving social safety nets for the people; the other party says that the problem is that trans people and brown people exist so the solution is to just erase them. And 1/3 of the country is just like "idk man, I just live here, I'm not interested in politics." Idk how the country survives as a democratic republic after this. Forget recovering from this.

Vote. Prove me wrong. Please.

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.

MTG is like the saturday morning cartoon villain who is totally fine with screwing people over or blowing stuff up but would never, like, rape someone. I think she's finally realized just how disgusting the rest of her party is. It's scary how often she tweets something so very sane that I agree with her.

Still vehemently oppose her policies of course.

She's not one of the good ones, not even close. But seeing her say shit like this is WILD! I hated her when she was in office, and don't much care for her now but I fully support her attempting to speak truth to power. You can hate someone and still agree on some things.

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.

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.

It depends on who you ask.
Trump claims that prices aren't actually that high (lie) and also that they're lower than under Biden (lie) and also that the prices are worth it to keep a nuke out of Iran's hands (lie because he's the one who terminated the deal in his first term that was doing exactly that).
Vance claims that the racist scapegoating of brown immigrants was him misspeaking (lie) and that he'll aim to do better (lie because he immediately did it some more right after that).
Others have lied that "illegal" (undocumented) immigrants are siphoning things like welfare, food stamps, and other assistance programs from Americans. But you need a social security number to claim those things, which is how you know it's a fucking lie. They'll also lie about them stealing good jobs, but the jobs they're working are the shitty jobs, and them being underpaid is both something that their employers are doing to exploit vulnerable people and also how prices on things like produce and textiles has been so relatively cheap until now, since they've chased so much of the labor force out.

I don't understand any argument for how immigrants could be causing higher prices. It would only make sense if we were seeing a scarcity, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is petroleum products, caused by this stupid illegal war, which hasn't even begun to cause the insane high prices on everything else yet due to the shipping industries depending so heavily on diesel. It will really take off right after the blue wave, and chuds will blame dems despite not even being sworn in yet. It's as predictable as the scary "caravan" heading to the border right before the election.

Touche. With any luck, that is the new direction of the party soon and these controlled opposition establishment dickweeds will be the fringe wing. Or, better yet, fucking extinct.

Sadly true. And yet, they go after the immigrants and not the business owners for some strange reason…

And if you’re a complete sociopath, the ‘less brown people will fix things’ makes a bit of sense too. Less people means less competition for jobs, so more good jobs and higher wages since there would be fewer employees to go around. (This is also why they also want women out of the workforce.)

That’s basically all the racists want, is everything in the country for themselves and their little groups. It’s the dark side of tribalism.

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 ?

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.

you are more likely to know a buisness owner than an immigrant if you live in a rural town far from the border (or know that you know one anyway)

Right, which just makes them easy to stuff under the label of ‘other tribe’. And ‘other tribe’ must be run out of town at any cost. Even if they aren’t in your town to begin with.

I think she had an exorcism or something because she no longer has that look in her eyes like she's possessed by a goetia, and she's actually had some reasonable takes these past couple years; reluctant as I am to admit it...

Can't tell if she's slowly coming along and realizing, or if it's all still part of the grift and she's just hedging her bets ahead of the curve

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.
