"said wood chippers"
Hey! It's me!
We're gonna need way more heavy lifting from you Margie.
You need to actively participate in the destruction of this regime, with the same level of effort or more than you put into building it.
You shove dear leader into that industrial grinder or we'll shove you in instead, Marge.
She already said she's quitting. No actual backbone there.
Government is collapsed anyway. It's not doing what it's supposed to do.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. I don't trust her or like her. She deserves to be called out for her years of insane inane bullshit. That being said I do believe this is a case of "a broken clock is right twice per day".
It won't collapse our government, it will make it stronger.
We thought these Sociopathic Oligarchs were just manipulating the nations of the world to get what they want, but it turns out that their recreational entertainment is monstrous.
Put them on prison, or worse, and take away every single asset they have.
Let her cook
Everyone, just hear me out.
People can change. (Not saying she has... Not saying she hasn't. That's not the point.)
We rally behind her because she's finally saying the right thing, and -she has a voice.-
The trials will come, and she should be treated as she deserves to be treated when they do. For now, we should be propping up any voice saying the truth, or we won't be the ones deciding who goes on trial or not.
Oh, Majorie. Your spot on the wall is still reserved no mstter what you post on twitter.
I think the Napoleonic "Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake" probably also applies here even though she's not strictly doing that here
Never interrupt your enemy while they're setting up their petard hoist...
She says that like collapsing the government wasn’t her goal all along.
Kinda based if that’s her plan
its Trumps plan too. And all the tech CEOs. Their ENTIRE deal is removing all the government impediments to them doing whatever the fuck they want.
Oh man, that’s terrible. The government was really keeping those guys in check.
Just cuz they got their own ideas doesn’t mean I'm changing my mind lol.
It's nice MTG is trying to have some spine, but until I hear her quoting Marx I'm pretty meh on whatever she says.
yeah, she spent enough time spouting maga bullshit that I’m still not sure about her
Tough room
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 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.
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.
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?
Especially if it collapses your government.
I mean so fucking be it?
In her very minor defense, that's what she's saying. MTG isn't exactly doing a face turn here, but she is at least holding on to some semblance of consistency.
I mean I'd like to be charitable here too.
Also all and all a bit rich but if she'll melt off even a sliver of support for Trump or help fracture MAGA, of course I'll oblige.
It kind of makes me sick, but I do somewhat feel like she might be our best hope.
