"Aggressively ignorant" is a better description of her than naïve

Useful idiot that has no use now that Trump is on his way out
Nah. This backtracking is bullshit. She knew exactly who he was. She just fell off his coattails for whatever reason and now she's playing the victim, even if it's being a willfully ignorant victim.
She was being dumb personally making her insider trades for the whole world to see. She became a joke and everyone knew exactly what she was doing so she was cut out and got effed, so now she's mad.
You know, it can’t be ignored that when someone middle or left or presumed left suddenly flips and goes MAGA they are immediately elevated and worshipped as an addition to the MAGA hivemind. Take Niki Manaj for example.
But the left isn’t tripping over themselves to put former MAGA toads on a pedestal. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a fruitcake. I don’t know what her motivations are for turning on Trump and MAGA, but her previous lunacy makes her difficult to trust, to say the least.
Token was spent. Trump doesn't need her anymore. She's a nobody. Suddenly she cares and sees.
The rush of motivation can obfuscate the river of the obvious
I mean it (sorta, let's not get too picky about this) literally makes you an idiot when you let it do that, but it totally can
Edit: quickly -> picky. Autocorrect fucked me when I was looking at the keyboard, and I didn't notice 'til after
I think a universal standard of comment editing would be useful.
I am not insane
BS and she is fucking pathetic.
BUUUUUUUUUULLLLSHIT
Eat shit Marjorie the Gathering
Don't slur the game like that!
[sigh]
To be fair, WOTC has already been screwing it up for a long time...
How COULD she Know that a Billionaire Rapist who NEVER pays His Staff could be a JERK! There were NO WARNINGS!
Grok said it was all fake, what more can you expect of her.
He definitely didn't already serve a full-term previously, a decade ago, so how the hell could she know!?
And anyone who thinks she's reformed now is even more naive.
People fell for Graham Platner they will sure fall for this.
Please go away trailer trash barbie.
I'm genuinely not sure the United States has literally ever had a person that's less of a man/woman "of the people."
I don't like the guy, but genuinely and objectively I believe this to be true. The guy is just a comically awful person - he's so void of any semblance of compassion and empathy that I'd argue a fictitious person of the same character in a movie or book would be an unrealistic and boring villain.
That's who the Republicans elected. An unrealistic, boring villain. A guy that wants money, power, and virtually nothing else.
Some say she was naive, others say she is a stupid evil cunt.
Yeah she's a pretty spot on representation of the type of person who would believe someone thoroughly documented as a lifelong liar and grifter is actually a virtuous, truthful individual.
In other words, a dumbfuck.
We still need to burn her at the stake. You can't just call an oopsies on facilitating hate and expect to be forgiven.
I mean, if she's that dumb, maybe she shouldn't be in politics any more.
So she's either lying or willfully ignorant. I'm leaning towards the former. Either way, not someone worth listening to. Go away, Marge.
You’d have to be naive to believe her.
Reminder that the US elected Trump two times.

Not "naive" but, evil and apathetic to others until she is on the other side. No matter what she says she should never be trusted or forgiven.
That being said it's been oddly quiet from her friend boebert.
Nope, she's trying to do damage-control
Margie had a chance to ride the criminal train to the top but her cohorts didn't want her on board and now the fury of her hell is upon us.
She is the biggest, stinkiest weasel. The sooner I stop hearing about her pathetic ass the better. As soon as she got the same level of pressure as the most spineless democrats she folded like an oragami turd.
The people = the small subgroup of people she doesn't hate
The mainstream media continue to inexplicably rehabilitate her image and as you can see by the comments here it’s literally working
You know. I hope she’s earnest about this wake up call and becomes a MAGA “reformist.” Bad people in toxic systems can do good things in life, and her following isn’t trivial.
…But proof is in the puddin. Especially with her history.
I will also say that, if she’s betting on a Trump collapse, that is not a great bet and she knows it. If she simply wants power, it doesn’t seem like she’d be leaving Congress while saying these things.
If she were in it for the power, she'd use her new role as 'maverick' in the GOP's razor-thin margin to play kingmaker.
If she were in if for the money, she'd retire as soon as her pension vests.
If she were Truly Awakened, she'd resign as soon as she learned she's been tainted by a toxic system.
She did the later:
She said her last day would be Jan. 5, 2026.
It’s not instant. But for a congresswoman, that’s an abrupt resignation.
Jan 5 2026 is the day her pension vests: 5 years of service.
Turns out this flat out wrong. Five years is when the access to a pension at all - not vested. That's under FERS, which applies to retirement for all federal employees. You can't retire from the House at 40 and claim a pension. You have to reach the retirement age.
What episode of the handmaid's tale is this?
Episode II: Attack of the Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body
I understood this reference.
mtg is one of them that believes in the conspiracies so to speak, when trump dint deliver she became incensed. plus what really tipped her over was trumps lack of endorsment for mtgs run at the senate.
