    I don’t think even she is so stupid that she is just now realizing that the Republican Party is…full of Republicans.

        Likely Senate first, and then try and inch her way into the neo(shit)libs democratic party, then presidential run.

          I don’t think she could get the Senate seat… If she could she wouldn’t have resigned from the house

          She’s distancing herself and doing the talk show circuit. If she wanted the Senate seat, she’d be lying low and doing things locally… And 100% she’s been picked up by a group of consultants

      nah she wants the sexism removed but wants to keep racism and bigotry intact. No one told her its a package deal.

    She’s swinging for the midwestern mom vote and it’s going to work, she can build a fanbase there.

      Yep. That “midwestern mom vote” won’t be enough to get her elected again anywhere, but it will 100% be enough to let her grift millions and continue polluting the airwaves and social media with her hate filled screeds.

    “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men, should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for,” she said.

    But the current President is one of those rich powerful men raping the trafficked. What did she expect would happen?

      American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men,

      I’m wondering if that is a description of herself?

      Maybe that’s why this issue is her line in the sand?

    “Typical of Republican men telling a woman to ‘shut up get back in the kitchen and fix me something to eat.”

    Wait, so as far as I understand she wants the sexism removed from republican party but wants all the other stuff like racism and bigotry to remain? I am sorry dear, they come as a package, drown in the shit hole that you fought so hard to protect.

      She does seem to genuinely believe in protecting kids… But she has an extremely warped idea of what that entails. The Epstein thing has been an obvious wedge between her and Trump, because it’s one thing she has dug her heels in and refused to drop. Because (again) she does at least seem to care about protecting kids. And she sees the Epstein stuff as an obvious “if you protect the files, you’re protecting pedos” signal flare. Broken clocks, I suppose. At least she has shown that she hasn’t been willing to budge on this one specific issue.

    Really funny watching this “American clown reality TV show”. I just wish it didn’t affect the rest of the world.

    I can’t tell if her grift got bigger, or if she realized the people serving her kool-aid aren’t drinking it.

    Probably both.

    “Do I have to stay until I’m assassinated like our friend Charlie Kirk. Will that be good enough for you then?” she wrote

    Sounds like she’s just discovered the “find out” part of “fuck around” might possibly apply to her, so she’s out.

      She bailed exactly as her pension matured. She’s gonna try for a presidential run as a third party outsider.

          It doesn’t. She’s an asset for someone with money every politician I know of is. Don’t trust a single one, use them and throw them away like single use packaging.

          Some guy once said “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

          The concept behind the proverb “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is found in the ancient Sanskrit treatise Arthashastra, attributed to Kautilya (also known as Chanakya), a political philosopher and advisor to the Mauryan Emperor Chandragupta I.

          This treatise, dating to around the 4th century BC, outlines statecraft, military strategy, and economic policy, and it formalizes the strategic idea that a ruler’s enemy is the natural ally of a neighboring power that is itself threatened by the same conqueror.

          Specifically, Kautilya describes a king whose territory borders that of an enemy as a natural ally of the conqueror, because they are separated from the conqueror only by the enemy.

          This strategic framework, known as Rajamandala or the “circle of kings,” was used to inform foreign policy and alliances in ancient India.

    For anyone trying to figure out what the angle is, MTG is trying to become the face of the American TERF movement. She’s going to milk that for years (if it catches on). Expect a book about the horrors she endured as a brave woman in the Magasphere.

      I don’t know if right-wing radical feminism in America is necessarily going to be trans-exclusive. Transmedicalist if it isn’t, for sure, but there are plenty of right wing grifters who also happen to be trans women.

      The mainstream facist right already have transphobia cornered as a brand, so being trans-inclusive might be key to turning some discontent into a real political movement.
