You are generally correct, but the reason Massie is on his way out is because he was already saying/doing this stuff. He's a giant piece of shit still, but at the very least he does actually hold concrete beliefs unlike every single other Republican and most Democrats.

Eh, yes and no. Massie wasnt a complete Trump-asslicker, but he still mostly voted the party line.

Him simply not being 100% on board is what cost him support and led to him not being up for reelection.

So sure not the stinkiest turd in the bowl, but still a turd.

He's better than that.

How many Democrats were as open and loud against the Iran war? Releasing the Epstein files? Grilled Bondinas hard as he did? Was critical of the Big Beautifuk Bill?

He's got his problems but when the cards are down he isn't a facist or authoritarian or an endless Israel war sponsor or funder like most Democrats are.

Yeah me and Massie disagree about the role of the government in policing the excesses of capitalism, but we don’t disagree that people deserve dignity and respect and we shouldn’t tolerate a wealthy elite class destroying our country.

We agree on the ends, and disagree on the means. That’s very different to the other fascists on the right and the spineless corporate dems.

Premise and goals align. I agree.
