Maybe im the biggest mark there is but I do smile to see the unMAGAing of her. There's hope

Reminder:

21 times Marjorie Taylor Greene was the worst

Anti-LGBTQ+ Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has a remarkable record of crazed rhetoric, from space lasers to pedophilia to gazpacho police. And the fact that she's turned against Trump doesn't change that.

Def a mark, lol. She's going to pivot to lifestyle BS. She didn't see the light, don't give her that much benefit of the doubt.

Eh. I do believe she was a true believer and that she has had a real moral turn. If she can split the Republican party and maybe take some supporters away from Trump, I'm fine to circle back on her legitimacy at a later date

She is still a true believer - she loves the racism, the sexism, the LGBT-phobia, the tax breaks for rich, the church-instead-of-school, the two-tiered justice system... She's just also still on the Q-anon anti-pedophile train, where the rest of MAGA leadership is willing to overlook a few rapes if they get all the other stuff.

she has had a real moral turn

Not possible, she had no morals to begin with. It’s likely just a new grift, nothing more to see.

Let’s not forget her role in the current insanity, and she certainly hasn’t done anything to earn forgiveness. A few tweets absolve nothing.

OKAY! Can't force you to believe whatever you don't want to. I think it's absolutely fucking FOOLISH to think she can do anything positive for the people being thrown into concentration camps right now, or stopping the genocides all around the world that America is perpetuating. All the racists, homophobic/transphobic shit is kinda completely disqualifying to me for the rest of my/her life to me soooo.... whatever.

And do you think she will take them to a better place, or something worse than Trump?
