Strange bedfellows, indeed.

You do realize you’ve achieved conspiracy-theory bingo, right?
Yeah that comment is all narrative, no substance.
As if anyone is actually believing she’s suddenly developed empathy.
MTG’s name is so unfortunate. She gives TCGs a bad name, not that the game isn’t shitting on its own IP right now either.
Anyway nobody wants the association with her. She’s about as psychotic as it gets. So it seems really weird that she’d post something reasonable along the lines of “screw Hamas, but not the innocents getting war crimed” (paraphrasing of course).
I have a hard time believing she’s the one who wrote that. It’s not impossible, but something more in her camp would be blaming “the Jews” for collaborating with aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy to try and take over the Middle East or something.
Anyway, if she really did write that, then for as little as it does being nothing more than text on social media, it’s at least worth acknowledging. Not praising - she gets that if she starts trying to unfuck the US, which probably won’t happen. But acknowleding, sure.
Idk man. She’s been talking about leaving the Republican party, about women’s issues, labor issues, and she’s been calling the genocide a genocide. I’m not sold that she has fully woken up and smelled the roses, but she is definitely having some change of heart.
Remember this is the Jewish space lasers woman.
Her siding against Israel is hardly as surprising when you remember her past.
My loose theory is this: the whole MAGA movement is powered by people who (rightfully) believe the American system is broadly working against them. As a result, they distrust any authority or expert on anything and accept the first contrarian viewpoint they hear. I think there’s a possibility that MAGA politics has gotten so widespread that she’s too contrarian to accept it. I doubt she’s actually seeing the world as it is, but there’s a possibility she’s become more open to other contrarian narratives. We’ll see if that’s true. Luckily, I’m not a constituent of her’s so I don’t have to think about it that hard.
shes been largely ousted by the gop inner circles, because her anti-israel stance, plus causing chaos whitin the party. i wonder if boeboe is joining her.
At a musical?
People cannot be this fucking stupid…
The alternative that I’ve heard is that this “change of heart” isn’t genuine and it’s just to gain power. I can’t rule that out but her actions haven’t been those of a greedy power-grabber. I think she’s often been true to her principles even when that hurts her politically. Her principles are fucked up and based on a warped world-view, but I think she is principled.
Pam Bondi is the example I would give for someone that is just going for power. When she was doing the whole Epstein thing, it was made into a big media circus with influencers and no real substance. I think she saw this as her moment to become a rising star on the right, without much thought to the crimes or justice of the situation. That didn’t work out for her, but the intentions behind the actions were pretty clear. If MTG is just making power plays, she’s pretty bad at it.
If she’s rose-adjacent, I’ll take it. Especially if it’s a Golden Girls reference.
Growing up, I had no idea that “speechwriters” were a thing. So when Reagan said something, I assumed he’d written it.
Simpler times.
Now we have … social media! I fail to understand why anyone’s on it (I admittedly visit BlueSky once a week or so), but here you have to assume someone else wrote the posts outside of a few select people in PUBLIC POSITIONS. Delegation is a bitch.
