I'm really loving the new game of MTG pretending to newly discover all of the things that everyone has known for years.

I don't trust her at all. But it is nice to watch.

2015: it's going to be fun to see Trump try and fail

2026: oh no MTG don't do it

Oh, I totally agree. I have no idea where this is going, but it is certainly entertaining to watch.

I don’t think we have as much to worry with her, remember she’s a woman and we know how much America hates that

Sounds like she’s stopped dreaming in this apocalyptic lala land that conservative news portends to them and is finally starting to wake up.

Nah, next week she’ll be back on Jewish space lasers.

She's on her Megan Kelly arc. I bet we're going to get a hagiography tell-all book or One Woman's Struggle Lifetime Movie about her in another year or two.

Be not fooled

There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says "Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again." We've got to understand the nature of the regime we're dealing with.

She’s still on the Jewish Moon Laser, she hope that the Democrat don’t remember or don’t care and offer her a seat at their table

I don’t think that she thinks ahead at all. No conniving, just reactions.

Yeah, she seems like she is trying to 180 out of the cult but fuck this bitch. Even if she somehow managed to convince every idiot MAGA to leave, she has still done more harm than good.

You may be right because I've seen people calling it for a few months now.

Am I the only one who is really uncomfortable with this MTG PR-blitz this year? She is obviously trying to rehabilitate her image ahead of an upcoming political push, but she is truly a monster.

Out of everything that leaves his mouth around 5 % is true, the rest is nonsense or just plain lying.

And she helped them intentionally for many years because brainwashing boomers and peddling fake news is precisely what she wanted to happen.

Fuck her forever.

Hopefully she runs for president and spoils the R vote. That would be glorious.

I think she's betting long term for when the orange baby dies and the implosion of his cult of personality takes a lot of the GOP with it. If that happens she can point to her new record and position herself as the return to sanity whilst also still being a republican which gives current and then ex-maga supporters an out without having to admit that their shitty morals is what got the petty petulant perpetual pants pooper into power.

Remember that underestimating trump is what led to a lot of the pain we are feeling now. I would try not to make the same mistake again less than a decade afterwards.

Please let it happen, it would be so fucking funny to watch her get bit by the misogyny she glibly fed.

No matter what she does, she will always be the bitch that blamed forest fires on Jewish space lasers

I'd give it 6 months, she's been speed running it

She's still a very right leaning Republican. Just been calling out the BS for attention recently.

Exactly. It’s what got her elected, and reelected.

The only possible good that I can see from this weird ‘turn’ of hers is that now that she’s speaking truth, perhaps some of the boomers she peddled fake news to will listen and never vote Republican again. Not going to hold my breath however.

It's more like a 120. She's reversing course on a lot, but she's still awful on quite a bit.
