Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand hallmarked by derogatory comments.
Unpopular opinion: I say give her a chance. I’ve been watching a lot of conservative YouTube stuff ever since the Charlie Kirk bullshit. There’s a pretty substantial portion of former MAGA that actually have relatively leftl-leaning views, that haven’t figured out their views are pretty far left. A lot of those folks are kinda dumb, but if they start voting like me, I will not complain. Don’t shit on their potential awakening. I’d really like to see some reverse Fettermans.
Seriously this, what has she ever done to earn giving her a chance? The only reason she’s speaking out is because she’s now immediately affected, but couldn’t give a shit before when others were in the same position as she is now.
You have no idea how many times I saw people saying this about Trump’s first term before he started.
Believe it or not, I wasn’t born in the past 9 years. I heard it too.
She has no values, she is a rat sensing the ship sinking before anyone else. They all know when Trump dies there will be zero leadership in the GOP and people are going to swing hard left to avoid the pedo circus.
uh huh… that changes absolutely nothing about my comment.
Okay what exactly do you propose we “give her a chance” about? Retaining power? Seeking MORE power?
She’s historically been pretty terrible. I don’t fault you for thinking that of her. I think it too… however, there’s like a 1% chance she might be genuine. I won’t write her off completely yet. I still don’t like her platform, but I’d prefer someone on the right that actually wants to come up with a plan for healthcare if they’re going to oppose Obamacare. If she says she’s going to tone down her bullshit, I say give her a chance to prove it. It doesn’t mean you have to forget where she came from.
Well, ultimately, you don’t really have any choice other than to bitch and cry about her existence (like she does regarding so many others) or you can shut your fucking mouth and deal with it. I could not give a fuck less what you do at this point. Goodbye. Good riddance.
We can hope, certainly. There are a lot of entities looking to capture them, though, and the wages of sin are actually pretty good, counted solely in gold. They buy a lot of advertising.
Look… I’d love for this to be genuine and real, but the chances of that being true are SLIM TO NONE. She’s been doing this for a decade, and barring any proof she just started taking meds for a newly diagnosed mental condition, I can’t believe any of this is real.
She’s pulling a scam. I don’t know who the target is yet, but this is not genuine.
Trump 1. When I saw very close friends who voted for Trump, not because of who he was but the fact that abortion would be over turned.
That’s when I knew that these people would vote in Satan himself if he promised to get rid of abortions.
It took almost 2-3 to get from “I’m not voting for Trump” to progressive.
I sat in the middle for a while as a conservative leaning independent but still caring about social issues. But once I understood that conservatism was really about oppression, I hard lefted to be a progressive.

Are you daft?
In the last comment I said give her a chance to prove it, meaning, you really have nothing to lose by watching what she does for a while.

I guess you’re right.
We shouldn’t give republicans the opportunity to redeem themselves. Let’s make sure they’re our enemies for life.
That’s smart.

I don’t disagree, but some of the shit she’s saying is better than her peers. Scam or not… its something.
The only way to give her a chance is if she commits, right now, to vote to impeach Trump. If she does this, then I’ll say she’s serious.
I say this as a once very strong and vocal conservative who has now turned full 180-almost anarchist progressive.
When was your turning point?
