Oh, here it is, in the dictionary. 📖

I'm getting really tired of these "oh, look, trumpets regret their votes".
How about talking to Biden voters? The only so called Biden voters I've ever seen talked to are ones who wouldn't vote for kamala because she was a competent WOC.

had a few small cracks and now there are more cracks and they are bigger. However the dam is still holding, but if Trump doesn't change his destructive policies (and he won't), life will get harder for the vast majority of Americans including Magas, and the dam will continue to weaken until it collapses.

Next week will be interesting, with defections of 50 to 70 congressional Republicans on the Epstein files vote expected. Will this be the beginning of the collapse? Only time will tell.

However, Trump will do anything to hang on to power and there will be collateral damage with a lot of innocent people getting hurt.

Am I supposed to rethink my opinion of MTG now? What rabbit hole are we going down?

I have become so off the charts cynical about any GOPer that I'm turning into a conspiracy theorist. I have to wonder if this isn't all political theater by MTG and those dissing Trump now in an effort to push him out to ensconce JD. Do the powers that be in the GOP see the writing on the wall that trump is old and feeble minded and want someone younger? Is MTG vying for the VP seat once JD is ensconced?

Inquiring minds want to know!

7. Yes, it is all political theater, and no you should not rethink your opinion of MTG.

But this only helps us. THEY are VERY susceptible to political theater. It's the only thing they understand. And they are absolutely falling apart. And this only helps us.

Yes, MTG is probably looking for something in the post Cankles era. Yes. She is awful. And yes, there will be complications for us once Cankles has been shoved to the side.

But for the moment, she is benefiting us. So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the implosion. This is what we've been waiting for. Hopefully it sticks this time.

8. My post was a little bit of sarcasm, and of course I'm going to enjoy the show.

I just happen to think this is just one more "show" the GOP are putting on to try to get ahead of the Epstein debacle, and MTG has been chosen to be the leading actress. The MAGA that are leaving their cult leader are going to flock to her instead. They'll just come back with a different name, but same old agenda.

Oh you bet I've got popcorn at the ready!

9. I don't think most of them will flock to her. This is maga. Sexism is a very fundamental part of their makeup.

Some will, but she won't have anything like the hold he has.

I want them to go under the rocks they crawled out from under, but they'll probably just fracture as a group and spread their loyalties to a couple others. These people have wielded more power within our country than they ever expected and they're not going to go away. Most of the tea party followers just changed their name and glommed onto Trump.
