The far-right congresswoman has increasingly broken ranks with the MAGA movement, leading even Donald Trump to wonder ‘What’s going on with Marjorie?’
Marjorie Taylor Greene has hit out at her fellow Republicans for “doing nothing” about rising food and healthcare costs in her latest breach with the Trump administration.
In an interview with the conservative broadcaster Real America’s Voice on Tuesday, the Georgia congresswoman warned that letting Joe Biden’s Affordable Care Act subsidies expire at the end of the year would “crush” Americans’ finances.
Those subsidies are now at the heart of a government shutdown that’s lasted 15 days and counting. Senate Democrats are demanding the subsidies be extended as a condition of reopening the government while Republicans are refusing to budge.
MTG finally realizing that the “do nothings” aren’t the democrats, but her own party… I did not have that on my bingo card.
Isn’t it obvious? She’s positioning herself for a presidential run in 2028 by pointing out issues she has with the current administration, and where she would make improvements.
She’s going to run for president in 2028. Which also means not all MAGAs aren’t on board with a permanent Trump presidency. They’re all jackals, they want a bite at the prey, too.
They aren’t “doing nothing”. They’re collecting the profits.
Ew Jesus Christ can we get some kind of blur on pictures of this absolute meathead? It’s like getting flashbanged when this leering simian head pops into my feed 😂
Anyway, whatever this dipshit is saying, she’s a racist, the loudest moron in the room, and a Christian nationalist. Fuck that. She’s still the enemy.
But see, now, it’s ruining the wrong people’s lives.
New Title: Local Republican in denial about what being a Republican means shocked to discover truth about Republicans
forgot to finish it with “decided to continue being republican”
She may switch to that group of Republicans in denial about being Republicans that are known as Libertarians.
A broken clock is right twice a day, and it looks like it’s 11:32 on the dot.
Yep, we have now reached the point in the clownworld timeline where Marjorie Taylor Green, the Jewish Space Lasers lady who did campaign ads by just shooting a physical representation of ‘socialism’ with a 50 cal anti materiel rifle… this woman is seemingly a ‘moderate Republican’, a ‘voice of reason’ within the party, to use the mainstream political vernacular of roughly 10 years ago.
Go back 10 years, and if you told anyone that anything like this was even possible, much less probable, likely, you would be called insane.
And that’s not a hypothetical, because I did, and I was.
What that shows you is how immensely brainwashed and politically illiterate and/or disingenuous almost everyone, on all sides, was, institutional or citizen, political news junkie / official wonk or couldn’t care less.
Yay
American Exceptionalism is now well and truly dead.
I mean, it was really never a thing.
List of American achievements that made them a super power:
- Didn’t get their country blown to sit during WWII
end list
I mean ‘American Exceptionalism’ not as being literally true in any sense, I mean it in the actual Political Science / Sociological sense of attempting to differentiate various democracies and their behaviors from each other.
‘American Exceptionalism’ is … or was, basically our national ethos, a kind of shared, secular religion, a subtext that was basically always present, referred back to often, but not as often just directly stated.
We did, for quite a long time, just quite arrogantly think we were special, basically magically so, immune from or indifferent to many things that all societies have to grapple with.
So, now our core cultural identity has been revealed to be entirely bullshit, and as a result, basically everyone is having a psychotic break / existential crisis / nihlistic withdrawal …all the time.
But anyway, yes, I totally agree with you that in the 20th century, it really all does just boil down to not having our own territory being literally blown to oblivion in WW2, and then misinterpreting that obviously leading to roughly one generation of massively abnormal economic gains… as proof that we are just magically amazing, the ‘indespensible nation’ that was leading the world to the ‘end of history’, all that bullshit.
EDIT:
As an addendum to that last paragraph…
The Boomers are the worst thing that has ever happened to this country, they lived in the literal best economic boom anywhere in the world, in the entire 20th century, at least if you simplify down to capitalist economies…
… and they think that was all them, and they had it tough actually.
No, they are the luckiest and most spoiled and delusional generation in American history.
And they continuously voted to destroy everything that underpinned their own opulence from possibly carrying forward onto other subsequent generatioms.
Only to be replaced by an even more extreme version of American Superiority Complex.
Closely followed by American Victim Complex.
I think at this point its just American Schizophrenia:
Anytime you go outside, assume anyone or everyone could be schizophrenic, and yeah that’s basically America right now.
Followed by American Pyscho
I’m stuck in american clown complex and my arteries are full of tallow
The more I hear from this woman, the more I feel like there might actually be a decent heart deep down inside who wants to better her country, but is being hindered by an incredibly stupid brain that is calling the shots.
I hope that’s true. The cynic in me thinks she’s playing the long game and plans to make a presidental run, which means breaking away from MAGA to be more palatable to reublican, neoliberal, and independent voters. The cynic in me also thinks that she’s pissed she didn’t get a cabinet spot, so she’s breaking with the party to throw a metaphoric tantrum. All speculation; I really hope she’s come to her senses.
I was thinking the same thing. The MAGA base is financially liberal and socially conservative, she’s pitching herself to those people for a promotion
No. Shes nothing more than a bilge rat that senses the ship sinking and is dutifully scurrying to higher decks to save her own ass.
Don’t trust this bimbo.
She is a grifter. She will gather the clout with correct statements to prevent Republicans from moving to an actual alternative.
Idk. She hasn’t done anything nearly as grifter-y as a typical Republican, especially the QAnon type. She was into QAnon back when it was an obscure movement and hasn’t really grifted people with it through the usual currency exchange scams, crypto tokens, etc. I think she’s a true believer in her principles, it’s just that she’s an incredibly stupid and incompetent person and those principles are stupid as well. I don’t know if someone who is incredibly stupid and easily swayed who actually has principles is better or worse than someone who is actually competent but has no principles and is only driven by greed and personal gain.
Somehow she always finds a way to blame antifa and not daddy Trump in the end.
Again, that is completely aligned with her principles displayed so far. She thinks he’s a messianic figure who fights the depe state from the shadows. I’m not saying it’s right or smart, but it’s consistent.
You do kind of have to admire her seeming to stick to her principles. It’s just a shame that those principles are usually deranged.
That’s the good in you, believing there could be good in even her.
I think a lot of people who do evil things don’t see themselves as evil.
I think the Bushes were evil people who did evil things and I’ll never forgive them.for all the damage they caused. But I also don’t think they were unpatriotic. They believed in what they did and thought they were making society better.
I think MTG is the really stupid, slightly more evil version of that. She really wants to make things better, but not for everyone. But when she clearly sees that the people she does care about (uaully right-wing racist trash) are being hurt, she wants to make things better for them.
This is like the third time I’ve agreed with her in the last month or two wtf is going on
This is the really loud rat that slept in the wall right next to your head and pissed you off every night!
Now the ship is on fire. That loud, annoying rat is loudly abandoning ship. She may act dumb, but she’s making some smart decisions (for her own preservation) right now.
I think her being the “smart” one should tell us something about the rest of the Republicans. She’s not the smart one. The rest of them are confident in the fascists ability to hold power through state violence. She appears smart because she’s reacting to the unfavorable view most people have of the administration (while remaining loyal to Trump and never calling him out by name).
She’s not being fed talking points now; so she actually is just defaulting to a somewhat reasonable position from shit she sees as popular.
She’s not a part of the main leadership and she has only ever made a name for herself by being “more radical”. Well, the Democrats are limp dicks and the Republicans are rounding up people and putting them in labor camps. The only move she has is to literally just say reasonable shit to remain relevant.
That describes a person smarter than I ever gave her credit for being.
The Overton window has shifted so far right that MTG seems like a bleeding heart liberal in comparison to the rest of the Republican Party.
If you only take into context the things that we agree on over the past month or so, her opinions on those topics are bleeding heart liberal. I wouldn’t say the Overton window has shifted so much as I would say she’s presenting a persona to save her bacon and trying to not get voted out next election.
She’s betting on collapse
Both.
My guess? She’s somehow financially compromised. A congressperson doesn’t feel the urgency of high costs of living unless it affects them somehow; and if she’s worried about the prices of everyday staple items, she’s losing money.
I remember some of her family members are financially struggling. Might be a reason why. However, the main reason is that she never got a cabinet position or any position in Trump’s admin.
She recently was on Tim Dillon podcast and my impression of the situation: She’s a duplicitous lip-server. Shes delusional enough to rationalize the impending healthcare disaster the dems point to as actually “lapses in Obamacare”, not at all because the BBB bill just passed by her party. Also, she is just protesting with dems where convenient because she is capitalizing on some popularity internal to MAGA. It’s easy to hold her party leaders to account and follow through on promises if that means getting some leverage later on.
That and I bet she’s gonna run for president later. She’s banking on maga failing and wants a long history of “rational thinking”
Blonde haired white ultra-consertvative woman that the right will be able to claim “FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT! And all you dissenters are sexist!”
If she’s a real blonde, then I’m the queen of england.
Necromancy!
If you’re referring to Elizabeth II, she wasn’t the queen of England, she was queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (along with being the monarch of several other independent kingdoms.) The “Queen of England” title hasn’t been used to refer to the well-known British monarch since the early 18th century, which means that the GP poster must descend from a secret royal line that’s been operating in the shadows, waiting for the correct moment to reveal themselves to the world.
Or. Necromancy.
i prefer to use “queen of france” because the last queen and monarchy died centuries ago but yours works too
She reminds of the people who are so astronomically stupid they actually believe that conservative politics will help the average person. Her entire ideology is falling apart in front of her eyes and, too her very likited credit, she’s standing up for the people she represents.
If only she wasn’t a massive piece of garbage in countless other ways and so utterly stupid I’m amazed her last braincell can even fire in semi regular intervals with burning up like a 20 year old CPU being asked to run some unoptimized AAA junk at 4k.
You’re probably just becoming more like her surely she would never change lol
I don’t trust her; she’s still a terrible Christian nationalist. I do agree on some of her more reasonable takes lately, but she still has an angle to stay in power.
Like keep saying things to challenge the bastards, but I’ll never support her.
The real reverse fetterman
She’s got someone in her ear. No way she’s coming up with this on her own volition.
This actually fits with her. Like she is crazy but she also cares about people, so long as they aren’t Jewish or brown.
She’s always been known to listen to her rural Georgia constituents, and her demands have been dumb because her dumb hick constituents are dumb.
They must really be feeling the inflation and tariffs, and letting her know. She used to perform for an audience of one, now she seems to actually be doing her job.
MTG’s approach to politics is to say the most outrageous shit to gain attention and clout. She has no principles at all, other than “Any publicity is good publicity”.
Right now, she’s being crowded out by all the other Republicans like Nancy Mace, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem etc. being just as crazy as she is. She can’t go any crazier without losing support, so she has to pivot in the opposite direction in order to stand out and get the media’s attention like she used to.
It’s working, by the way. Until she started saying this stuff, did you see anything from MTG? I didn’t.
I never ever thought I’d agree with anything MTG had to say, but here we are.
Yeah. Its like I admire that she is consistent.
