      So liberals can see conservative performative politics but not that from your own party?

          Why are you guys getting so personally triggered by a one-word comment? They said it’s performative. Yes, the liberals do it too. Is this a sports game? Are we keeping scores? Is your team winning?

            When Liberals do it they are met with joy and praise. If anyone makes it a team sport it is not us.

            Had folks gleefully quoting Kamala her performative speeches yesterday as an “argument”.

              That’s certainly what your propaganda would like you to think. In reality, most of us are sick of our elected politicians and the political theatre. We don’t worship politicians the way people on the right do.

                Liberals do worship their politicians to the level where there is NO accountability. They may whine about their actions, but will willingly, and without question, vote for their reelection.

                Liberals chided Trump for saying he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single voter while voting for Biden after helping slaughter Palestinian children. Liberals overlook Obama denying due process to 75% of those he deported, while screaming that Trump is doing that.

                Edit, I guess mods around here are filtering words in posts?

                I included the word bi*tch and it auto edits to removed

                  If that were true, Al Franken would still be a sitting Senator. We’d still have Rod Blagojevich, Anthony Weiner, and Bob Menendez.

                  Really? Where are all the signs, the flags, the people getting tattooed. People are calling Trump God, building him statues. If you look at the MAGA cult and say the other side is the same, turn you’re detached from reality my guy.

            They’ve always been here. They call themselves Communists, but they’re nothing but a bunch of authoritarian bootlickers, also known as “tankies”.

            If I were you I’d just block hexbear.net, lemmygrad.ml, and lemmy.ml. That stops the vast majority of tankies from invading your feed with their ignorant bullshit.

              Those tankies are out there. They can’t be bargained with, they can’t be reasoned with, they don’t feel pity, or remorse, or boredom, and they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are annoyed.

      I mean, it’s true to an extent. I’m sure some people might read too much into it, but she threw out a bunch of significant criticisms of current policy which is super unlike her or almost anyone in her sycophantic party.

      Her positions more or less all suck, but the fact that she’s being so critical is…unexpected.

      She is right about one thing. Trump plans on being president past January 2029, and if he manages it he won’t need to be on any ballot to do it…

          It’s not wrong. If every conservative dropped dead tomorrow we could actually fix all the problems they make, which would typically require the government doing stuff. It might even do lots of stuff.

    I don’t know why she’s upset. Trump has lied and taken every possible side on just about every issue. He has absolutely no consistency or credibility and everyone knows that, even if they may lie to themselves about it.

    Whatever Trump does is what you signed up for if you didn’t vote for Harris.

        “Trump is tanking the country but not hard enough, as you can see in the polls.” That’s not a direct quote obviously, but it’s the summation of MTG’s position.

    From the article:

    In a rare rebuke, the Republican congresswoman has broken ranks to suggest the administration was losing its base.

    “I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” she wrote in a lengthy post on X.

    Ms Taylor Greene, one of the loudest voices of the Maga movement, said she was “frustrated” with the direction of the administration, claiming it was not delivering promises she had campaigned on.

    She said: “When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.”

    Ms Taylor Greene compared the signing of the Ukrainian minerals deal to the invasion of Iraq, and questioned why Mr Trump’s team had not pulled approvals for the Covid vaccine, which she claimed “does not stop people from catching Covid”.

    She added: “I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran.

    “And on top of that, now we are told that we have signed a deal for mineral rights in Ukraine, in order to pay us back for the hundreds of billions of dollars that we gave Ukraine.

    “Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?”

    It’s because he made a deal with Ukraine instead of mining national parks and “on the verge of war” with Iran. Also she thinks Covid vaccines should be pulled. In other words, he’s not awful enough for her.
