    I hope so. MAGA Republicans aren’t going to vote for a woman for president. I have a feeling it would be a humiliating experience for her.

      You know how on the TV there’s this type of a character that’s like a female head of a crime family that has to be smarter and stronger than the men and everyone is scared of her and respects her? MAGA would vote for a candidate like that. They don’t like womanly women that are educated and attractive. A strong, christian motherly figure? That’s a different story.

      MAGA Republicans are so stupid they will believe MTG is not a real women and still vote for her. All you need is a bit of propaganda on Fox.

    This sounds ridiculous of course.

    But so did a Trump run, it used to be a joke when he put his hat in.

    No one is laughing now.

    Explains why she’s said a few somewhat reasonable things lately as opposed to before when all she said was batshit crazy garbage.

        Article mentions she’s seemingly trying to court anti-Trump people by going on stuff like CNN. Guessing the “real MAGA” thing means trying to “improve” America instead of just being part of a cult (even if her understanding of what would improve the country is radically different from mine).

        Anyway by reasonable I meant she wasn’t talking about the Biden admin controlling the weather with space lasers to destroy Republican communities and was instead going against most Republicans for stuff like the Epstein files and so on.

    How do they know? Trying to understand this woman is worse than trying to understand lassie, when she runs to tell people that Timmy fell down the well. Shes the human equivalent of smashing your face into the keyboard and crossing your fingers you get a coherent sentence out of it.

    If she becomes the first female president, I’m probably going to off myself. High likelihood. Nonzero.

      I think you’re underestimating the potential power of “vote for a woman to own the libs and show them we’re not sexist. They’re stupid!”

      I mean it’s a trippple doom for her. She’s a woman, she’s half way shedding maga siding with dem’s on the epstein files, and on protecting healthcare, and she has a history of being outright crazy in multiple directions.

      In short, I don’t think her recent forays into sanity are going to erase the stain the R party has on it now, nor erase her claims of weather controlling machines and space lasers to earn any support from the left.

      Then to court maga… obviously they’d need to be less sexist, and she’d need to seem more… on trumps side.

      I think AOC’s comment is probably right, she got snubbed for senate seat by trump… and now she’s pissed and wanting to break that glass ceiling.

        I don’t think her recent forays into sanity

        Her insanity and bigotry syncing up with some key issues isn’t “sanity”. It’s random chance.

          I can give that on Isreal, she takes anti-semitism without the caveat of “except the ones that are in power commiting a genocide”. The release the epstein files, and protect healthcare, is either she’s actually concerned about helping people or punishing bad guys… or she’s just pissed off with something in her party and is playing a contrarian to get something she wants (which yeah, I’d lean more towards the second, but general bigotry doesn’t quite explain those 2).

      Sadly, I think the only way we get a female president is if all candidates are female. AOC vs. MTG would be a good history maker.

        Disagree. For one, it’d be an underwhelming point as a historic marker if it’s the only option. And two, we haven’t gotten a female president yet cuz the women we keep running are shit candidates. Sexism is absolutely a factor, but I don’t think it compares to the absolute fuckton of baggage (actual or perceived - doesn’t matter) that comes with Hillary, or Harris’s last minute embrace of Israel’s genocide.

        We haven’t actually tried running a woman who’s also a decent human being. AOC would wipe the floor with her opponent’s face, regardless of that opponent’s gender.

          Eh, it doesn’t have to be the most stupendous, amazing victory for women to be important and good. Two female candidates would still be a huge deal, assuming proper primaries were conducted. That said, I would be astounded if the Republican nominee is a woman any time soon.

            Yeah, fair enough.

            And who fuckin knows on the Republican nominee… I’m sure if MTG says enough slurs, or stomps on enough puppies, or shoots enough kindergartens, etc, on live TV the republican voter base could be persuaded to overlook the fact that she’s a woman. She’s already got behaving like a fucking dumbass down to a science, and the R’s love that shit, so… as Republican standards go for presidential material go, she checks a lot of the boxes.
