Marjorie Taylor Greene says she was ‘naive’ for believing Trump is man of the people

“I realized that I’m part of this toxic culture. I really started looking at my faith. I wanted to be more like Christ.”

    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.

        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

      Don’t slur the game like that!

      [sigh]

      To be fair, WOTC has already been screwing it up for a long time…

    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.

    So she’s either lying or willfully ignorant. I’m leaning towards the former. Either way, not someone worth listening to. Go away, Marge.

      I still don’t see the point of her lying. Maybe she’s pissed she didn’t get a job in the Trump admin. In any event, Democrats won’t elect her for anything, she’s leaving politics.

        Oh I get it, clear as day. Trump’s dying in front of our eyes with frontotemporal dementia, and god knows what else. Not to mention the Epstein files scandals. Once Trump is dead, the cult collapses. Anyone, like Vance, trying to step into his shoes get ALL the blame for ALL the things.

        tl;dr: She is wisely getting ahead on the coming crash.

        I loathe the woman, but she’s nowhere near as stupid as people think.

    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.
