Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday said she’s “done” with the Republican Party, which she said has turned into the “America LAST” party.
Her comments came after right-wing commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he was done with the party after voting Republican his entire life.
And let’s be real, they 100% still believe in the type of ideology that created the whole fucking problem in the first place.
They’re probably positioning themselves to jump on the next iteration of MAGA once this one has run its course.
The people behind it, they never change and they won’t go away, this is a disease that won’t be cured with rest and lemon tea.
It’s just like the end of W’s presidency when everyone on the right was pissed off about what he did in Iraq and to the economy, then they proceeded to double-down on the nationalism, racism, and religious intolerance that made the GOP so popular with reactionaries.
It’s a fundamental problem with their ideology, but they are so driven by their hatred and tuned up by the far-right media that they just keep digging that hole deeper. Ultimately, the ultra-wealthy know that fueling the fire of fascist rhetoric is a sure fire way of getting the brainwashed rubes to fight their class war for them.
Is MTG going to stop promoting the Great Replacement conspiracy theory? Absolutely not; in fact, I bet she leans even harder into it.
Yep. They may have scraped those W stickers off their cars, but then joined up with the teabagger movement, and then a little bit later the birther movement, and then shortly after that, they went BALLS DEEP on Donvict, and were/are ecstatic about it.
These were all the same people in my life, not a new set of voters that left the party and never came back - all of them were dejected at the end of W’s failed terms. All of them are now Donvict fans. I watched many go through that exact cycle, in my personal life.
My favorite thing from them, though? When they blame their worst behaviors on Obama. They don’t realize how much they are telling on themselves. Yes, WE KNOW that them becoming even more overtly worse than before is of course a reaction to the black guy being in office.
In their minds, every problem is caused by someone else, and they are never to blame, even if they wholeheartedly support those causing the problems, pass legislation to enable those to blame, and are integrally involved in causing the harm for which they later complain. It is cultural narcissism on a grand scale.
