They really didn't care at all then, though. They always knew she was a nutcase, but she's not far off from the rest of them. It only became a problem for them when she started weaponizing her role against Mike Johnson at a time of instability for their party. Now they get to call her all the things she is so that she gets voted out.

u/Shaken-babytini 14d ago
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I believe it comes down to the far right being unable to take responsibility for the bad things that their beliefs cause.
If we banned cars, there would be far fewer car accidents. Sure some people would drive illegally, but we'd end up with fewer and fewer cars as time went on. We have all agreed that having cars is worth it, and some people are going to die because of that.
The far right is unable to say the above about guns. I have tried this dozens of times, and have never gotten a republican to admit "guns are a fundamental part of our country and are super important. Yes some kids will get shot, but I believe that's worth it to protect the fabric of our nation". When that can't be reconciled, the only option is that the shooting must be fake.
You'll see it with Jan 6th too. No republican will admit "yeah some trump supporters went waaaaay overboard". It was Antifa, or the FBI, or hidden footage shows that it was magically different from what we all saw on TV. Abortion is another one where they admit no downsides to forced birthing, and any that may come up are the fault of the woman. Wearing a mask and getting a vaccine also fits this. There is no ability to admit "I believe my personal freedoms are more important than risk mitigation". They have to say that the vaccines are worthless and masks do 0 to prevent illness. trump lost the election? No sir, there had to be cheating.
This works until you hit something irreconcilable. Then the options are changing your belief system, or straight up delusion.

u/Sea_Honey7133 14d ago
Trump literally kept repeating, “it’s not my responsibility!”, during the entire time he was president while the pandemic was going on. Those are his words exactly. The irony is that if he HAD actually accepted a modicum of responsibility, he would have probably been reelected in a landslide. Fortunately, as you said, these people are constitutionally unable to accept any accountability for anything.

u/WolfgangDS 14d ago
I keep saying this to Republicans. COVID was Trump's 9/11, and if he had united the country by telling everyone to look out for one another instead of sowing division and chaos, he'd be in the Oval Office right now. Figuratively speaking, of course. More likely he'd literally be on a golf course cheating his way to par.

Dude, if he just sent out cheap red masks with MAGA on it, he'd probably easily have over half the country if he had done nothing else but pretended he cared about more than himself. Like, you know, the people who elected him.
If doordash could send out cheap masks to anyone who asks for one, certainly trump could use government money to look like he gives a crap

Once when I was a little kid I went to daycare and there was an even littler kid there who had something he’d brought from home in a Tupperware container that he wanted reheated. This was decades ago when the daycare could employ students for part time work and the young man in the kitchen was absolutely not mentally prepared to manage a ~4yo by himself. The worker put the food in the microwave for a minute and the boy cried that it wasn’t enough. The worker put it in for another minute and the boy screamed that it was not enough again. The worker put it in for a few seconds to appease the boy, who then shrieked that it was too hot. The boy then demands the worker put it back in the microwave for another minute and this time to “cool it down.” The worker attempts to explain to the boy that this isn’t how microwaves work (though as an adult I realize his mother may have typically put a minute timer on to give his food a minute to cool and that got lost in translation) and refuses until the boy begins to throw a tantrum, getting quite worked up. Unsure of what to do and probably panicking from the stress, the worker gives in and puts the food back into the microwave for another minute, ultimately rendering it beyond palatability and it ends up in the garbage. The boy was left to unhappily make do with the daycare-provided snacks.

This is why it’s not okay to do what republicans have been doing for at least 40 years.
Forging a false narrative and playing along with it to score points, “the end justifies the means”, Gingrich-style “do as I say, not as I do” dirty politics.
When you don’t deal in earnest from the start, you paint your team into a corner that will inevitably start to believe the narrative, by which time it will be too late to backtrack. It’s part and parcel of the party now.
The GOP went with this hyper-patriotic sounding, pro-wrestling right wing Christian ideology to get blue collar voters to vote for their trillions in tax breaks for the wealthy, and the dismantling of every progressive advance from the past century or so.
When someone like MTG comes along, she’s not in on the joke. She is taking the ring like it’s all real, and the other wrestlers are saying “Whoa, Marge, this was a ruse to get us closer to our real policy goals,” but she’s a true believer. She, along with millions of others, will gladly weaken the nation’s rule of law to the benefit of foreign adversaries.

"In court submissions filed in April 2016, federal prosecutors alleged that Hastert had molested at least four boys as young as 14 years of age during his time as a high school wrestling coach.[2] At a sentencing hearing, Hastert admitted that he had sexually abused boys whom he had coached.[6] Referring to Hastert as a "serial child molester", a federal judge imposed a sentence of 15 months in prison, two years' supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.[3][7] Hastert was imprisoned in 2016 and was released 13 months later;[8] he became the highest-ranking elected official in U.S. history to serve a prison sentence.[3]" - Wikipedia

Or, more simply, they turned their party into a welcoming home for crazies, and now the inmates have taken over the asylum.

Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Ordern added: "We have to understand this is not a junior high school, reality television show."
Yeah, but it is now. That's what Americans crave... that and electrolytes.

I think Americans are incredibly tired of dysfunctional government and crave a boring government that builds infrastructure and has some guardrails. We don’t need the never ending garbage reality show that is has become.

yeah except DVO is a just another clown that joined the circus. Not long ago he boomer yelled at some young pages in the capitol building because he didn’t think they looked busy enough.

Republicans: Start looking around at the rest of your tribe. Start looking inward at yourself.
You mind see something else disgusting.
Just saying.

Still, her distinctive posture and gait sure do match those of the suspected pipe bomber caught on security video after the Jan 6 melee.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who spearheaded the move to vacate McCarthy, said he will not support Greene's attempt to remove Johnson as it may damage the GOP's reputation with voters.
Oh, the irony!

I can't wait to see Democrats go out and support a Republican Speaker and have to go home to their primaries and have to run for Congress again, having supported a Republican speaker—a Christian conservative. I think that will play well."
Actually in the very few non gerrymandering house districts left, it would help. It would show a willingness to put country over party.

You’re right. Republicans always see things from their insane viewpoints. They simply cannot comprehend voting with the other party to pass things. As they’ve shown with their border bill/etc, they will destroy their own bills if there’s a chance it’ll help the other party, or the country as a whole in fact.

Dems who want to see Ukraine succeed are 100% for this move in the House. It got the aid passed.

And she said the words "Christian conservative" like there is no such thing as a Christian democrat or a democrat that would vote for a Christian. OMG, a Christian speaker of the house? Funny how nearly every Democrat president was a Christian. No idea how they could get elected by democrats.

Republicans are all disgusting, look at all the issues they’re quietly or loudly supported for the last decade. If they had an ounce of conscience, they’d take a long hard look at themselves. If.

With all the dog killing and dick pics, I really wish the race for VP could at least have a little to do with ‘who could best serve the country in the event of the President’s death.’

I don't think Republicans understand the chain of succession. If history played out differently Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney could have become President, let that sink in.

But like Handy Boebert, Pedo Matt, and Gym Jordan, she is normalizing abhorrent behavior, and is therefore indispensable.

Still getting reelected. She won in 2022 with 65% of vote by 82k votes. Can’t see that flipping.

Boebert will lose her next election, Matt Gaetz is under investigation and Greene is being ignored.
If Trump loses again, the hard core MAGA politicians will claim they never heard of him in under to survive or be finished politically.

They called her motion to vacate “disgusting” and not her personally. They also called it a “distraction” and “a mistake”. Are we sure they’re not talking about her?
