This looks and reads like when someone copied someone else's homework.

Marjorie is one of the good guys, I don't care what anyone says.

I am defending her, and attacking you that attack those that defect from maga, as if you can win on your own, and as if she isn't more left than the majority of the fucking democratic party.

Margarine Tallow Grease, if you are for the 2A, you know what to do

I see Lemmy is still doing this MTG image rehabilitation. Fucking hell.

But definitely held out until you got your pension.
100% I got mine, fuck you.

So you're saying that you were a complete asshole on purpose and not because you're an idiot? Interesting.

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.

"Even a broken Hitler is right twice a day." /s

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 agree with her, but she said everything but the fact that Trump is trying to illegally silence and deport a political enemy. That's the extremely dangerous thing that's currently happening.

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.

Critical support

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.

Yeah because she wasn't complicit in any of it.

The problem is that she's batshit and bigoted. I suppose I'd rather be led by crazy people than evil and calculating people trying to convince the crazies they're crazy too, but I have to believe we can do better

Make no mistake she does believe trans people and brown people in this country are part of the problem and will try to eliminate us. She just has issues with some of the other stuff the current administration is doing like targeting congress members and going to unnecessary wars

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.

LMAO! Just the picture of that guy is enough for me to recognize it

Heartbreaking

I'm of the opinion that a broken Hitler needs to be kicked some more.

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.

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.

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

Sure, but she's also explicitly pointing out that this doesn't address the problems that sane people understand are the problems.

I'm optimistic that her lunacy and bigotry are at least softening. Right wing ideals are fundamentally incompatible with what I want to see happen, but I can accept right wing candidates as long as they are reasonable humans. The current brood is unacceptable at an existential level. Let me vote against Marge instead of voting against Cthulhu-hitler disguised as a Christian senior pedophile.

My guess is the latter, but even that's better than the Nazis we've currently got.

That's less "immigrants stealing good jobs" though and more "employers violating labor laws and exploiting vulnerable people" like I was saying. Sure, the effect is the same, but instead of rounding up brown people, maybe we could try enforcing the laws and arresting business owners for knowingly breaking the laws. That would also send a message that it's not worth the risk to try to hire illegally.

What's the end goal here? Does she have a podcast or a book deal or something?

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.

She just needs attention, all the time.

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.

2028 run for President is my guess

Yeah, "an enemy of an enemy" and all that.

Wouldn't go so far as to call her a "friend," but hey if she splits the republican base or gives people an out where they can keep their egos intact (and are therefore more likely to take it), then I won't stop her!

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.

Oh shit.

That's a good guess, actually.

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.

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.

This is levels of bizzaro world that only anime or drugs can induce. Wtf is going on? Whatever it is, I love it

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

Yes, and the same money that backed Trump will back her and the net results will be the same.

seriously, lemmy is "leftist" but everyone's so goddamn dumb and gullible, it is truly shocking sometimes. it's like a fucking anti-leftist psyop with how easily users here fall for this shit.

DHS raids MTG's house in 3...2...

It must be strange to be a true believer surrounded by opportunists.

She hasn’t come full circle and anything. It’s all performative nonsense. She’s trying to rebrand herself before the ship goes down

Something about a broken clock. Just because they can make a good point doesn't mean they aren't shit tier people.

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!"

It's always funny when tvtropes has an IRL examples section
