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

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

          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.

            Honestly a very solid strategy now that Georgia is purple. Especially if she is angling for a governor or senate position.

            I hate it, but I can recognize the strategy amd logic behind it

          She either made a ton of fuck you money and bailed out (like so many do in politics), or she’s trying to cynically change her image to be able to win elections in Georgia.

            So, you really think she ballsy enough to try a political bounce-back moment? Especially in Georgia?

            I mean… She might be stupid enough…

        I don’t trust her, but I don’t think we need to to use her. This could be honest, or it could be just a tool she’s using. It doesn’t matter. It has the same effect of being a thing we can point to to say even she realizes it.

      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.

          Honestly, while she’s definitely irredeemable, I do think that Republican voters would’ve still fallen for all this shit without her, but some might stop believing because of her. It’s easier to follow someone out of something like this than to make the trek alone. A lot of Republicans are finally feeling the burn and looking around for someone to break away first, and MTG might actually be that for some people. Good actions don’t make up for bad ones, but I’ll take what I can get.

      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.
