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.
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.
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.
Magic The Gathering
I wouldn’t tap that
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.
Weirdest ally ever.
But people should make no mistake this woman is no friend to liberals or liberal ideas she is a populist. She goes with what she thinks is popular. Not unlike Trump.
She is also an entrenched homophobic antisemitic racist. So, there’s that.
The real reverse fetterman
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
All I can think of is this:
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
Shit has hit the fan when normal Americans agree with MTG. She used to love the Nazi’s, but I think she is seeing that she may also end up in prison for fascist crimes.
She may posses the insight to be aware of her future with continued allegiance to the regime.
Because he lied to get elected, MTG. That’s why.
She’s a hateful…hateful…person. But she’s not stupid.
She knows that when the public turns on Trump/Maga, they’ll likely be reactionary and look to his most vocal detractors for leadership. She wants in on that when the orange fuckwit finally eats the last burger that clogs his aorta for the last time.
That’s Gavin Newsom’s play as well. Setting themselves up to the be faces of a post Trump America by being as vocal as possible now, banking on the hope that with Trump gone, MAGA will devolve into internecine chaos followed by nuremberg trials for Miller, Vance, Bondi and the entire gang of chucklefucks.
Vance and Miller on the other handing, are on every news station in America hoping to be the face of MAGA itself, hoping that they have the rizz to wrangle the movement and prevent the above mentioned internecine chaos.
Thank fuck that when you think of lacking rizz JD Vance and Steven Miller spring immediately to mind
how many of these do you think JD owns
did she have some kind of epiphany? or just getting bullied by her GOP colleagues for being a woman, and now she’s lashing out?
either way, i wouldn’t complain about more of this from more republicans
She wanted to be VP but Donny 2 Inches didn’t find her attractive enough. Then she wanted to run for a senate seat, but was prevented by the GOP from doing so. So she’s pissed off and wanting to take her ball home. That dumpling Elise Stefanik was shafted similarly, but so far has just accepted it. Maybe she might get entertaining too like Empty G, but I doubt it, unfortunately.
She saw working class white christians being harmed while “doing nothing wrong”. She has some version of morals and a soul she’s just racist.
she’s just racist
pretty sure that’s a prerequisite for just the privilege of calling yourself republican. yes, black republicans hate black people too
Why would they? They don’t care and never have.
