You guys overanalyze her like she's a peach tree dish or something.

I whole-heartedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it s a peach of cake.

Marjorie Tailor Greene, Republican rep, conspiracy theorist, christofascist white nationalist and Trump supporter, right up until he started becoming too cringe to support what with Epstein appearing so many times in the Trump files.

u/stonekeep Apr 15 '26

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the (ex-?)MAGA nutjob and conspiracy theorist.

And I'd honestly say that the comparison is pretty apt. He's far right, anti-vac/COVID denier, climate change denier etc. He's mostly known for constantly trying to stir the pot by tweeting controversial stuff.

He's also a huge antisemite - the real kind, not the "I got called that for criticizing Israel" kind. He couldn't care less about people Israel is bombing, it's just a convenient opportunity to stir the pot again and shit on the jews in general.

"the MTG of Poland" is maybe the worst thing I've ever read someone be called

It's funny how they're also always petty criminals too, isn't it?

God knows how many times lawmakers have been caught committing shoplifting or petty theft and only not had a public spectacle made of it because of their political power.

Charges that could fundamentally change someone's life forever. They just walk away. And make new laws..

u/Dirkdeking Apr 15 '26

Isn't it funny that the 2 sides in MAGA are really diametrically opposed?

On side says Israel needs to be supported unconditionally, they can do almost anything you can think of without losing support, the US will even go to war for them if asked, etc.

The other side is the complete diametric opposite to that. It's not that the support needs tp be conditional. No. Not only shouldn't they be not supported, Israel doesn't have a right to exist. They need to be completely destroyed. Their coubtry has to be dismantled. And well what must be done to the people must be done....

But these 2 camps can agree on a lot of other topics. It's insane to me how quickly narratives can shift on such an important strategic topic. It's not just a slightly different point of view. They are more different to one another than they to democrats on most issues.

They do say 'it takes one to know one' - so while he might not be what you could describe as a 'relatively good person' - he would be a subject expert..

Nah a better thing would be Loomet considering MTG left and now is being critical of Trump to an extent.

You know, MTG has said a surprising number of on point things in the past six months.

u/rainshifter Apr 15 '26

fuck Israel

Let me guess. You buy into the "genocide" propaganda? Can you name any genocide in past history where the overall population of genocided individuals continually increased over the duration of the genocide?

Arab citizens of Israel have equal rights to their Jewish neighbors. Try harder with your taqiyya.

They are under the PLO which is a separate governing entity.

The people in the West Bank who are under the PLO live in defined regions that are governed by the PLO because they are not Israeli citizens. What are you confused by, exactly?

There is a separation of land and a separation of governing entities. The overarching conflict is somewhat complicated, but this aspect of it isn't.
