        MTG entered office as a ‘the establishment is corrupt, all the conspiracy theories are real’ under Biden.

        Now that ‘her team’ has won, now the establishment is all corrupt and there’s tons of actual conspiracies… So in a way, she’s actually shockingly consistent…

        She actually got exposed to the horrors of her government on Instagram and began questioning a lifetime of brainwashing. She’s not exactly and intellectual leftist, but a big crack was formed.

        This is why the US bought TikTok, to eliminate access to non US propaganda.

    This is the problem with social media. Everyone is trying to get worthless internet points by riffing on the popular “The worst person you know…” meme. Meanwhile, no one is talking about the actual robbery that happened in plain sight just a few days ago that she is talking about.

    The Crypto flash crash of October 10th was nothing short of out in the open corruption that vaporised billions of dollars in seconds. A crypto bro, Konstantin Galish killed himself after losing tens of millions that didnt actually belong to him. And all of it was triggered by well timed tweets by the paedo and chef, Donald Drumpf.

    Heres a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23ddxotpMZM

    If I’m giving her the absolute benefit of the doubt, it just feels like she was an uneducated conservative parent who fell for Trump, and only just lately has she actually woken up to what he’s about.

    It’s probably not as good as this though.

        I’ve said this a few time on here, but I’m originally from spitting distance from her district, and based on my experience with so many other folks just like her; protecting children, specifically from conspiratorial trafficking and SA, is her number 1 priority, she’s usually really fucking bad at identifying ways to productively do so because she’s very poorly educated and indoctrinated, but if she has 100% confirmation Trump raped a child, which isn’t unlikely, she would almost certainly turn on him like it seems she has.

          Yeah, at least the voters actually do care about “protecting the children.” They’ve just been lied to a lot and are told it’s trans people and illegal immigrants who they need to protect them from. Once they see the truth, that it’s the ultra-wealthy elite who are the real evil people, they may do the right thing. You just have to break them out of their bubble, which is really hard.

        Right. I think she’s putting her money on Trump failing so she can run for president and say “see, I stood up”

                Nah, when Trump won the nomination in 2016 I knew we were cooked. Vance doesn’t have the same appeal. He’s got the “owning libs” part down but his humor lacks a broader appeal, unlike Trump.

                  Yes, but mere months before winning the nom the very idea of Trump winning it was unthinkable. And frankly it still is, and only makes sense when you understand the movement original detached from Trump that pushed him. They’re who won the nom, Trump was just the easiest person to enact their agenda through. We all should have been paying way more attention to the unsavory shit happening online like gamergate, because the masterminds behind that are the ones holding the real power today, imo.

                Sorry bud, I knew he was gonna win because Hillary was gonna lose. I did not think he was going to lose in 2020 though—and honestly I wish he won just so we would be done with it all by now. But that revenge project 2025, mixed with 4 years of him aging just killed the whole country.

      I think part of it is that she’s like every Confederate ever, on nearly every issue. It’s a trope for a reason - unless it affects them or someone very close to them, they don’t give a fuck. So one of their kids gets pregnant while a teen, or one of their kids comes out, etc…when it comes to the health insurance, it’s because her kids are hitting the 26 years mark.

      If she can see the other stuff, that’s just icing on the cake, and I’ll take it. I mean the tariffs are probably Taco manipulating the market. It sickens me that someone like him can just brazenly enrich himself with the market manipulation, the grifting, and things like crypto. I guess Marj got sick of it, too, although I have to admit I’m surprised about it. My cynical self wonders if it’s because of some similar selfish reason the Confederates are known for. Still, the outcome is the same…

      I think she’s simply a true believer, and all the other MAGA politicians are grifters; I think she has closer genuine beliefs to what most civilian MAGAs believe than the others within the government.

    What timeline are we living in where MTG is actually starting to talk sensibly about some of the bull-puckey that Trump is pulling?

    Don’t get me wrong - she still is not a good person, in fact she is downright despicable on many levels. But crap, she’s actually talking against Trump on two issues now.

    But, honestly, I doubt her sincerity on the tariffs issue. It’s most likely that she’s concerned that the businesses that have been stuffing her pockets for years won’t stuff her pockets anymore.

      I think that unlike some others in the maga leadership, she was a true believer. She believed in all the most dubious deep state conspiracy theories. She thought this movement was about purging deep state corruption, and replacing it with some more meritocratic system. A big old dose of racism in there but with her rationalizing it with convenient conspiracy theories.

      Now she’s faced with more blatant objective evidence of conspiracies. So she gets turned a bit by the betrayal.

      Over a long enough time span, I think MTG is doomed to always, eventually turn against whomever is ostensibly “in charge”. She’ll go for conspiracy theories and of course the people in charge are to blame.
