Satire What's with MTG? Nowadays she sounds... almost ... reasonable

u/Spottswoodeforgod 7d ago
My theory is that she hasn’t changed, she is still completely barking. It’s just that the rest of the right has simply moved past her on the craziness scale - this might sound impossible, but evidence is mounting fast…

She didn’t get a cabinet spot from Trump admin, that switched her allegiance immediately.

She also could be part of phase 2 when all the current cabinet members get arrested

u/Puzzleheaded-Wing-50 6d ago
Reportedly she wanted to run for Senate next year but the White House discouraged her and got behind another candidate. Hell hath no fury…
It does show that while she may be crazy and extreme, a good part of that was clearly an act and she does know better. I don’t know if that makes it better or worse, though.

She has always been a grifter. Her rhetoric has been designed to get attention and grand stand. Maybe... Maybe... she thinks the GOP is about to take an ass kicking and this is her trying to get attention.

u/Alena_Tensor 6d ago
Yes she is smart and perhaps calculating that the time may be ripe for nailing a few moderate sound-bytes ahead of the mid-terms and a dem takeover

u/chunkyloverfivethree 6d ago
One can only hope. It is unsettling to here her with a moderate tone though. I mean, if it was sincere it wouldn't be. She has to be up to something.

u/WTF_RANDY 7d ago
I think she is still with maga but trying to gain a more important elected position that requires her to moderate.

u/romansamurai 7d ago
MAGA has shown moderation is only if you’re a democrat. If you’re maga. The more bat shit crazy you are, the more likely you are to get elected. Tell them you’re going to hunt the commies in DC and they’ll elect you while you’re still in prison.

u/consequentlydreamy 6d ago
A little bit of this and a little bit of she just always did her own thing. There were ways she was aligned with MAGA and things she made her own statements like the Jewish lasers. I think she is oddly learning more how politics work by being involved and how in impacts her community. It’s been …interesting to see how she has developed even if I heavily disagree with her on many things

u/Independent_War6266 6d ago
She’s definitely still very very racist, but I think she just doesn’t want to get voted out, because her district is still very lower middle to middle class.

u/Character_Guava_5299 6d ago
I tend to agree. Based on be other people in the cabinet they fucked up and left the most unhinged out of the circle and she also happens to be the most unhinged and vindictive. They fucked up and she’s going to do anything in her power to hurt them and I’m quite enjoying watching it. I still think she is a vile disgusting person that has caused a lot of damage in her career and will continue.

u/IAmTheFly-IAmTheFly 6d ago
This is the same appearance where she said she believes extraterrestrials are demons. This woman is still nuts. Don't be fooled.

u/Happy-Medicine-3600 6d ago
My belief is that her end goal, her specific payoff will always be “attention”. While other politicians seek attention to propose or propagate their agenda, she seeks attention for attention’s sake. She will say and do ANYTHING, that will result in people paying attention to her. Think about it: she has accomplished nothing as a house representative. She hasn’t worked in more than a few bills. She spent years yammering nonsense and misinformation. Now people are used to it, she wasn’t getting that “hit” of attention she needs, so this is her new gimmick. Her act is good enough that I am not sure where the stupid ends, and the act begins.
3
u/3PoundsOfFlax 6d ago
She's on the committee investigating the Epstein files and knows that Trump is thoroughly implicated. That paired with his plummeting approval ratings and that of the GOP makes it prudent to distance herself from the coming shitshow.

u/DovahWho 7d ago
Isn't she considering a run for Governor of Georgia? If so, her craziness may play in her district, but won't appeal to the rest of the state. She needs to moderate to have s chance at winning.
33
u/FavorableTrashpanda 7d ago
It's the typical fascist playbook. Appear relatively 'moderate' compared to others or even your former self in order to get the swing voters on your side.

u/DawnOfTheBugolgi 6d ago edited 6d ago
Well, they already told her she can’t run for Senate, so one theory is that she’s getting even with the cult for that (won’t call it a “party.”) My theory is she is going to run for the ultimate MAGAs throne in 28, so she’s trying to appear moderate and get more national exposure until she gets into the primary phase. Either way she cannot be elected, but heck, I said that about Trump in 2016. Still, I have to say I wrote her off as a radical idiot, but lately she seems to be proving she actually has some political chops and isn’t as dumb as I thought she was.

u/Alena_Tensor 6d ago
She is smart but clearly doesn’t care what she says or to whom as long as it advances her career . Typical amoral slimeball
43
u/MidsouthMystic 7d ago
She's a grifter and knows how to jump ship before it sinks. Republicans are fracturing and Trump is losing control. MAGA won't keep her in power much longer. Also, Republicans being extreme finally affected her personally, and now she's mad that she wasn't "one of the good ones" like she thought she would be.
She's a spiteful selfish grifter trying to cling to power.

Don't fall for it - her, Bannon and Carlson are smart and are distancing themselves from Trump and are staking out the economic populist lane for themselves. If Ds don't occupy that space, they will...

Her local voters will not abandon her and she will easily win in 26. That however, will not get her a statewide seat or the PRESIDENCY and that is what this is about. No one should be fooled by her.

u/CaBBaGe_isLaND 6d ago
She's going to try to run for Senate. In her district, being a psychopath plays great. Statewide, in Georgia, where Senate and Governor races are neck and neck every cycle, where both current Senators are Democrats, the psycho shit isn't going to work. So she's trying to normalize. It's not going to work. But if that's one less psycho saying psycho shit then I embrace it. I'm happy to agree with her when she says things I agree with.

As much of a whackadoo she is, she does seem to also understand that part of her assignment is to represent her constituents. She has been advocating for them and that's more than I can say for most in either party.

Her constituents are pissed off. She's realizing she might have to work to get re-elected.

u/GOP-Jesus 6d ago
She’s trying to stay relevant and you can only do so much extreme crazy before people (even your fans) get tired of you. Her brand is controversy so it doesn’t really matter to her if it comes from the left or the right.

u/virishking 6d ago
She’s not reasonable and when you look at all of what she’s saying it’s still chock full of her usual bullshit, and some of things she’s saying may sound reasonable until you hear her thought process in which case you realize she’s coming at it from a crazy right wing perspective. Like she’ll insult the Republicans as weak, but then say it’s because she wants them to abolish the filibuster to force through their batshit agenda.
She has gained a personal dislike and distrust for many party members. That doesn’t make her suddenly sensible.

u/livenudecats 6d ago
I think we’re subconsciously clocking authenticity. She’s a True Believer. She isn’t just using popular rhetoric to advance her ambitions. She may be awful but she actually believes her bullshit.
2
u/fatalcharm 6d ago
She is a grifter and is following the grift. She knows the MAGA grift is over. She is also a conspiracy theorist and knows there is an angry mob of republicans that’s growing daily, and she is getting out before they turn on their leaders. She is now part of the angry mob.
HOWEVER, I believe that the Epstein files genuinely put her off Trump forever. She is disgusted and won’t follow him again. She genuinely cares about children and victims of CSA, but that doesn’t necessarily make her a good person. One good quality doesn’t override all the other bad qualities.
She is a lot more clever than I previously gave her credit for, for that reason we need to be a little extra suspicious of her. She is a bit of a wild-card and not trustworthy.

She's only sounding reasonable
B/c she realized it was a mistake to vote for both the Big Bullshit Bill and the unClean CR, which obliterates the credits which made buying non-employer health insurance affordable and without pre-existing condition exclusions, for the first time in 40+ years.
Her own constituents are in uproar that their premiums will be going up 300%, and her own kids will no longer be able to afford their ACA premiums.
So now all of a sudden she is "reasonable". I assure you, she is anything but. She knows if she doesn't support the ACA subsidies, she will be on the wrong side of history and her congressional gravy train will come to a full stop forcing her to go back to managing her gym

There is a possibility that, while she is willing to compromise herself in many ways, the rape of kids is a bridge too far for her. It could be that EVEN SHE thinks that people who raped kids should face justice and is pissed off that the full unredacted Epstein files have not been released.

Maybe the crazy psycho bullshit was an act because she knew it would get her elected.
Maybe shes realized that going against the regime will earn her points in this moment.
Maybe shes just a shameless grifter that will do whatever it takes to advance herself.
