        just start a conspiracy theory

        something along the lines of ‘the voting machines will turn their flat earth round’ 🤷

          MTG is the clever one. She bailed out just before the upcoming election.

          Look for her to get a pundit gig and a book deal, then be rested and ready for 2028.

            I don’t think she is going back, I think she legitimately hated it. She has her Congressional pension, she has her deals lined up. Why abandon the cushy private money to go back?

        You’re right. Republicans are so poisoned, and their hatred of Democrats is so intense, they will never, ever vote for them.

      The fact that they supported him in the first place is just crazy to me. Like homosexual and trans republicans, the concept just boggles my mind.

        And women, Latinx, immigrants, welfare-dependent people, the chronically ill… the list goes on and on. I don’t know why these people like shooting themselves in the foot so much. Even if they had some vendetta against a group of people because they’ve been brainwashed to believe “XYZ is abusing our system,” if they themselves need such services and could die without them, why vote against their own needs like healthcare and protection? But then again, some people didn’t even know that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was going to significantly affect Medicaid and SNAP benefits, so the bar of intelligence really is in hell.
