In reply to the discussion: 'Unhinged madman': US politicians react to Trump's expletive-laden threat to Iran [View all]Bluetus
(2,877 posts)37. Hard to say. It is performance art either way
My guess is that the halfway intelligent MTG is the real character and the MAGA MTG was more performative.
But there is a very real possibility that this is part of a meta strategy where she wants to position herself as the "REBOUND MAGA" leader. You know, "All the stuff that MAGA should be, and we thought we were getting with Trump until he lost his mind, but I will be the REAL MAGA for y'all. Go Jewish Space Lasers !!!"
That could be the game. I don't think that would be a winning strategy because MAGA is losing most of its energy. I don't think there is enough left of MAGA to elect anybody.
