“MAGA is — I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people,” Greene said.

She said Trump has completely turned on his base and is more worried about serving the “big big donors” who send money to his PACs and have pitched in for his new ballroom.

“Those are the people that get the special favors, the government contracts, they get the pardons,” Greene said. “And it’s the foreign countries that are running the show here. It’s the major big corporations and what is best for the world. That’s really what MAGA is.”

Greene then moved to bashing Israel, which she said Trump is fixated on. She accused him of overlooking “murdered” Gazans so that he can eventually build a new Trump hotel.

“We’re seeing war on behalf of Israel,” Greene fumed. “We’re seeing the people in Gaza — innocent people in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of them completely murdered, so that they can build some new real estate development and money can pour in and everyone can get rich there in New Gaza.”

Her comments come a few weeks after Greene resigned from Congress. She announced she was leaving public office last fall amid her feud with Trump, which largely stemmed from her accusing the president of not moving fast enough to release files on dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump in return gave her the nickname Marjorie “Traitor” Greene and said his former ally had “some sort of act going on.”

Props for being a true believer, I guess? Wouldn’t be surprised if she’s among the first the political figures to be nabbed by the gestapo.

liberalism welcome to the resistance

[-] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 33 points 4 days ago

There are so many contenders for the biggest "no shit" of the year already!

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Trump's pants already DQ'd for that one

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago

In some ways this was inevitable because the entire Trump/MAGA branding was built upon “a pox on both houses.” So of course there’s a split between the “Trump has drained the swamp” MAGA and MAGA that are continuing the “everyone in the establishment is compromised” rhetoric.

There was an article in the monthly review about this last year:

The most critical of all critical support.

Gunning for the VP spot under Newsome

Nah, this is the opposite of what you do to become a pet conservative in the DNC. The DNC teams up with the Liz Cheney, Romney and McCain types, the "centrist" neocons who love war and love Israel. MTG being super anti-Israel basically makes her radioactive and the DNC would never touch her with a 100-foot pole

[-] 9to5@hexbear.net 17 points 4 days ago

And the nation can heal

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

gonna be close between her and a Cheney.

It would be interesting if they could get a significant anti-Trump, but still MAGA, movement going in time for 2028, only to see Trump's 3rd term vs neo-MAGA vs whatever the fuck corporate Zone of Interest shit Dems are cooking up. Probably the worst election of our lifetime (so far). It would be an opportunity to let Trump eat the sin cakes while setting up something a little more stable for the future. Kind of like how the MCU started casting younger leads after Endgame so they wouldn't age out of future movies. Also like the MCU it will be something nobody really likes but they keep watching for a Trump cameo in 2038. We will go back to two highly unpopular parties with no real energy until they can convince Gen X to vote for Collarbone or whatever that dipshit's name is.

Oh, they are cooking something absolutely rancid, I can already smell it three years away.

Honestly, MTG would get called an Israel hating commie if she ran in the DNC. She’s about as publicly and effectively, nominally in favor of ICE as much as any Dem politician, she’s way better on Palestine, on healthcare, on state welfare. She just hate Jews and minorities but honestly, at this point, if you’re some chucklefuck like JB Pritzker who is blatantly opening up their whole ass for the federal government but giving monologues about how terrible it is, what difference does MTG’s racism make anyways?

Vote 1 for T H E P U R G E

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

That would be a clusterfuck of epic proportions. You’d have the post-MAGA candidate simultaneously calling themselves the true successor of Trump while also calling Trump a compromised pdf file defender. Vance (I’m assuming the Trump Third Term strategy will come through Vance as figurehead) will be shitting on the Post-MAGA candidate as preventing Trump from making America three times as great while also doing a horrible job of convincing everyone he totes will be his own president and Trump will merely be an “advisor.”

The soulless corporate dem will be max pearl clutching about Trump violating the constitution by running for a pseudo-third term, which will look like supreme hypocrisy after the absolute ratfucking they and the party did to whatever vaguely left of center progressive runs in the primary to pick up the Bernie banner. The soulless dem will be stuck in this weird place where they’re arguing that the Republicans after Trump will be reasonable and cooperative again, despite the Post-MAGA demonstrating right in front of them that if anything, they’re worse. Both the Post-MAGA and Trump candidates will call the soulless Dem a socialist while paradoxically attacking them as the establishment ghoul that kept down the vaguely left of center progressive that was the true people’s candidate.

In short, every contradiction in American politics turned up to 11.

[-] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 31 points 4 days ago

always love how these republicans suddenly get halfway decent views when they are about to retire. how about that.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 24 points 4 days ago

absolutely enthralling how-compelling-flipped

[-] microfiche@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago

It's been said to death, but MTG welcome to the resistance. She has seen the err of her ways and has come to the light.

Her liberal character redemption arc is currently unfolding before our eyes.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 33 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Considering she is still sponsoring anti-trans legislation during all of this, she'd fit in perfectly with the likes of Gruesome Newscum and other Dem ghouls.

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 20 points 4 days ago

It really angers me that these people are overall effectively worse than some Klanner who believes in Jewish space lasers

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 19 points 4 days ago

Yes I vastly prefer klansmen be scared and in hoods not in daylight holding office

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago

Not while being anti-Israel.

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 10 points 4 days ago

That's actually a good point I didn't think about. To be welcomed into the party, you have to be a Zionist, like Gruesome.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago

Yeah they will never touch her

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 days ago

Honestly intrigued to see if she ends up reading Communist Manifesto and having a revelation
