MTG is smarter than she's let on. She knows maga will be damn near universally reviled in a couple years due to Trump 2.0. She's making as big a break from them as she can without incurring too much blowback.

I know it's a HUGE stretch because these people have no sense of self awareness, integrity, shame, anything. But I can't help but wonder if MTG finally had a realization of how fucking stupid she's been. For the 4 years under Biden's administration she and her trailer park barbie friend had all the spotlight and were the center of attention by acting like complete idiots. Then this year happened. She barely registers on the radar anymore. Even BIGGER idiots took over and her name wasn't brought up for nomination to a single position. After all that public embarrassment she ends up with nothing, including not even getting Trump's support to run for next year's GA senate seat. I'm not quite ready to believe she actually has any sense of integrity, there's got to be some angle I'm missing as to why she's suddenly fighting for healthcare and turning on Johnson...

I don’t think she thinks this at all because she’s as dumb as cat pee

This is legitimately radicalizing to me. It’s just delivering bad governance so that buddies can profit off the failure. And it’s directed at anyone who pays taxes, just a “fuck you, we want to make money off you coming and going.” You can’t even pretend about the national interest or constituents here. 

And on the flip side, there were four years to direct— with no excuses— the IRS to roll out direct file. For everyone, everywhere. No years long pilots and phases and shit.  
 

Truly emblematic of the collapse of American governance into right-wing grifting and effete, process-centric consensus building exercises.

The bigots in my family have been posting similar things. I also haven’t spoken to these folks since Trump won, as this isn’t the first terrible things they’ve said in the last year.

So nice that fucktard reps from backwater Georgia and Tennessee and Colorado have become national political spokesmen.

You’d think the guy that coined the term “groceries” would know how grocery stores work. Fucking idiot. 

How proud he must be that the food sellin’ places adopted his word so quickly.

Americans voted in Trump to lower the cost of living and return the United States to the political and economic status quo as it was before the pandemic. But rather than meet the public where it was, Trump and his cadre of ideologues in the White House took their victory to mean that they could pursue their most radical dreams and try to make good on their extreme preoccupations.

In 2024, the Americans who decided the election voted for lower prices and a lower cost of living. What they got instead were soldiers on the streets, masked agents leading violent immigration raids, arbitrary tariffs, new conflicts abroad, dictatorial aspirations, endless chaos and a president more interested in taking a wrecking ball to the White House to build his garish ballroom than delivering anything of value to the public.

I just love how he believes republicans aren't doing well because they haven't fucked enough things up yet.

Because he knows they’ve got one year to pass legislation cementing his power grab

I can feel myself becoming more and more jaded these last several months, mostly due to the sheer overwhelming stupidity of the average FOX viewer/GOP and just outright lies and gaslighting by the administration constantly, but also as a dad and husband who's struggling to really see any optimism for this country any time soon.

This highlights the miscalculation of the Trump Republicans. They seem to assume they can be the only ones to target the anger of their base. They seem to believe that the majority will not become radicalized by their actions and turned against them with true force.

This country elected a man that probably hasn't driven a car, been inside a grocery store, or stopped at a gas station in over 50 years. 

 

 

 

 

He wasn't even doing any of that 50 years ago. He's never lived a single day that remotely resembles the life of a typical American.

This country, despite an often violent and at times thuggish history, has been fortunate enough at times of major societal change to have avoided the reign of terror that has often followed upheavals in other places. When I see the utter hatred for fellow citizens (let alone fellow humans) that so many have crawled out from under their rocks to espouse, I'm not so certain we will continue to avoid it forever. Empathy fades quickly and the leopards thread becomes more and more popular when actual US congress members representing nearly a million people talk like Ogles. Ceauşescu and a Milan Esso station* out front should have told you. This is a ledge I hope can be stepped back from. It will require repudiation from a lot of people that right now revel in it.

*(Mussolini et al were executed at Lake Como, but the point/symbolism remains)

Someone should tell the dumbass that Puerto Rico has been offered statehood before and declined.  Puerto Rico likes things the way they are.

That ledge won't be stepped back from.  We are all-in, and the "demonize the others" crowd is doubling, tripling, quintupling that game.  It doesn't end any way OTHER than the Esso station outcome.  The only question is how much misery and suffering comes between now and then.

The GQP and its simps are intent on maximizing that suffering.  They're getting their way so far.  Things will get worse, before they get worser.  I'm pretty confident that any "better" future is so far over the horizon that I won't see it in my lifetime.

I don't believe PR was ever offered statehood.
