[A text-and-image post by @NoLieWithBTC. The images show a photo of US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a photo of the Republican Party logo. The text says: "Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's starting to think the GOP is anti-women and anti-worker. 'There's women in our party that are really sick and tired of the way men treat Republican women... [The GOP] has turned its back on the workers and just regular Americans."]

She is now talking about women's issues, worker's issues, leaving the GOP, and calling the genocide in Gaza a genocide. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I see hope for her.

The MAGA mindset comes to people who become contrarian. They accept the first narrative that counters the established narrative. Maybe the MAGA movement has gained so much acceptance that she is now finding left-wing views more contrarian than her old views. Maybe this is copium? Guess we'll see.

Don't over-think it. She's just saying whatever will get her ahead.

Trump isn't running for election again, according to the constitution (heh, yyeah). The mid-terms will be devastating for the Republicans. There'll be a huge shitfight among the Republicans before the next presidential election and they all need to start gearing up for that.

She knows which way the wind is blowing.
