    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.

      I don’t think she is trying to rehabilitate her image. I think she was a MAGA and Qanon true believer, and she’s genuinely only just now figured out that they were lying criminals. She’s still 100% on-board with the hateful, bigoted, totalitarian christofascism; she just no longer trusts Trump’s faction to lead it.

        She wasn’t allowed in on the grift. So she big mad.

        I do think she’s hoping for some comeback in the midterms as she “exposes the scam” to others as dumb as herself.

          The trouble I have with the argument that she’s planning a “comeback” is that she only needs such a thing because she resigned in protest in the first place. She could have just… not done that, continued to criticize the regime (or hell, switched parties if @teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 's argument about her being “to the left of most of the democratic fucking party” is to be believed), and been in a better position. Yet that’s not what she did.

          I have no idea what her plan is, and to be honest, I think that’s because the most likely explanation is that she’s simply a genuine idiot and doesn’t have one.

        You say that yet her positions she has come out for put her to the left of most of the democratic fucking party.

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

      She is anticipating that sooner or later trump will fuck up so badly that republicans will look for a saner leader. She wants to appeal to all the political conservatives - as distinct from the maga muppets - who currently feel disenfranchised. She’s setting herself up for a presidential run. It’s quite cunning really.
