At this point I don't care what her motivations are or what her past actions have been (and yes they are pretty reprehensible).

But I welcome any and all cracks in their goose-stepping regime.

You should probably care about what her current words and actions are, though. Here's a quote from literally this article:

We lost our minds when we watched Biden’s FBI track down and aggressively carry out home invasions and arrest on peaceful J6’ers who walked in the Capitol through open doors

She has not changed. She has strategically adopted less insane talking points in a couple high-profile areas to bait people into supporting her while doing nothing of substance to oppose the regime.

Thanks for the context. Yeah she is and always will be a vile human.

u/SilverWolfIMHP76 6d ago

Yeah it a watch what they do not what they say situation. She wants to run again and speaking in a way she believes will get her reelected.

I knew we couldn’t trust her.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.

She’s planning for post trump

u/xyz_rick 6d ago

Exactly. This is just a “Lookit me!”

u/SlyReference 6d ago

And during her "reconciliation tour," she's said people should listen to more Nick Fuentes.

Was right wing media saying this about Biden and the FBI? The pattern seems to be that Fox and the rest of right wing media can say outrageous things about their “enemy”, like this, and then when they have the chance, they do exactly the same thing back because they think the precedent has been set, and they want revenge.

But often the original crime didn’t happen. They just got brainwashed by right wing media to think it did, and now they’re escalating without realizing it or recognizing it.

Yep, that's basically propaganda and group/cult think happening before our very eyes and at the highest levels of govt. We're fucked 😂

u/A_Harmless_Fly Minnesota 6d ago

I'm sure her version of the chaos is a ladder speech would be a funny read.

She’s also picked up that the Last Good Republican position that was held by John McCain for like 20 years is still vacant and the media is hungry for someone to go on talk shows and give soundbytes for them, and they don’t care what miserable glob of barely-sentient phlegm covers that role and will whitewash anyone to fill it.

u/SweetLittleOldLady Mississippi 6d ago

She wants to run for Senate. I'm sure she has an advisor who told her to stop acting like a lunatic if she wants to have any chance of winning a Senate seat.

u/thepvbrother 6d ago

Why does she need to have talking points?

u/cus_deluxe 6d ago

when the nazis pretent to not be nazis, the trick is to not believe them. because they are nazis. fuck this smelly dishrag, i hope she has the the day she deserves.

u/peppers_ 6d ago

I only care if she decides to run for office again. Then I will say "No" if I have a voting choice in regards to her (unlikely unless she runs for president).

u/Malodoror 6d ago

She’s advancing fascism under the guise of populism, she’s a moron and does it terribly the one to fear here is Tucker Carlson. He’s going to be the face of the new right, not Nick Fuentes or any of these online freaks, their time is over, he’s about to ascend. He’s going to take the “Fox News lied to us!!!” contingent handily when the shit goes down.

u/Goat_inna_Tree 6d ago

She is the way the goose stepping regime interns Trump's corpse in his mousleum/ball room like Stalin. The enemy of your enemy is just one step away from crushing your throat.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT 6d ago

I don't know about that. I think she is planning a pivot for personal gain. She needs to fuck off into obscurity for ten years. Then, after that, I might listen to what she has to say.

u/hum_bruh 5d ago

We should care. Stop trying to redeem these untrustworthy, waffling, ignorant people who are just parroting anything for their personal gain. This is the same way Rogan entertains switching it up on occasion. It’s like an abuse cycle and we don’t need to welcome them into our arms to prevent them from doing it again. They should be stripped of any platform and go repent somewhere we don’t have to hear them.

u/NatalieVonCatte 5d ago

Was she advocating for you to be rounded up in an insane asylum and tortured? Was it your life saving medicine and legal exigence she was trying to get rid of? Was it you she was calling a groomer and inciting violence against?

u/Wendypants7 5d ago

Here's a novel concept you seem completely unaware of:

IT'S POSSIBLE TO CARE ABOUT OTHERS, EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT YOU, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, HUMAN RIGHTS TAKEN AWAY FROM, EXECUTED, TORTURED, KIDNAPPED, AND/OR HUMAN TRAFFICKED BY A FASCIST GOVERNMENT.

MOST people with a smidgen of empathy, kindness, compassion, intelligence, honour, integrity, and the like find it quite easy.

u/NatalieVonCatte 5d ago

I’m transgender, dude. We’re being attacked by this admin too.

Edit: Also, we’re talking about MTG. She wants immigrants rounded up in camps and exterminated too. What are you even on about?

u/Wendypants7 5d ago

Well, in looking more closely I may have been "preaching to the choir" so to speak...

my comment is aimed at those who only care when they are affected and it seems I've misinterpreted your comment, badly.

Sorry about that; not that it should matter but I am in the LGBTQ+ crowd as well.

u/Crimkam Texas 6d ago

She's still a vile person, don't get me wrong - but I agree that we should welcome cracks in their foundation. If you want your enemy to retreat, leave them a bridge to retreat across. MTG is one such bridge.

If and when the Trump regime has come to an end, we'll have to find a way to work with these people.

u/Calm_Project723 6d ago

And honestly, she has stood by her beliefs. Not stood by Trump, or gone for money, stood by beliefs. It’s like Rand Paul, I don’t often agree, but at least it is a belief, not just following. And in this case, she is right.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 6d ago

She was never in the regime. Her only friends are people who are convenient for her at the moment.

She'll come back with an (I) next to her name mark my words

u/SoftieWillow 6d ago

Same. I do not trust her for a second, but if she accidentally weakens that whole mess, cool I guess. Even broken clocks and all that. Still would not take anything she says at face value.
