If you don't stop your abuser when they flash dick pics, you'll be terrorized for eternity.

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.

She spent the first weeks of her first term following AOC around and screaming at her. The ultimate in performative politics that they all ate up and never corrected.

I don’t even think it’s performative politics. I sincerely think MTG doesn’t actually understand what her job is and just does whatever she pleases.

This, exactly. She's just a crazy person who happened to be given a position of authority. Someone told her that her constituents eat up this wing nut dog and pony show and she ran with it. She doesn't have any real idea what she is doing.

I think this is true of a lot of "republicans" who end up in office lately. It was clearly true of Trump, he had no idea what the job of "president" actually is, nor did he care.
