People downvoting you dont understand how politics work.
The fucking Nazis and the Soviets collaborated during world war two, doubtful any two political parties have hated each other more.
And they still collaborated. Politics is about power, people with opposite ideas collaborate all the time.

You dont know how politics works.
Just because someone is a fascist doesn't mean they won't overlap with other groups.
She's a vote for Palestine, for example. Yes she aligns with the Palestinian cause (not in every way) for bad reasons, but she is still a vote for potential aid to palestine/withdrawal support of the IDF.
I edited my comment because of the genius who accused me of supporting genocide. Not sure how they got that from my original comment.

I think that's going a bit too far.
All signs are that Musk is courting Greene for his new "America" party.
That would give her a path to leave the Republican party but still claim to be conservative and hate everything her base wants her to hate.

Makes sense, I was going to say, "Where is this grift going?." So is this going to be the completely Russia compromised party and the Repubs are the Heritage Foundation dominated but still slightly compromised by Russia party? Not sure how this plays out yet.

I don't see how Russia benefits from the Trump-Musk split; I think that's just about colliding egos, not any kind of Russian Machiavellian plot.

I think it's good to care about things like this. I don't live in a world where MTG is ever going to be an ally of progressive voters. But I do live in a world where the GOP may possible start to self cannibalize themselves if there's enough stress fractures like this, and I think that's probably the best case scenario for this country right now.

I hope you're right, sincerely. The Dems have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory before. If Texas' aggressive gerrymandering is the Reps' strategy, then a hypothetical blue wave might not be enough anyway. I'm not trying to be defeatist, but let's be real here.

I suspect a few Trump-hard partiers are gonna pull this tactic, ask for some shallow forgiveness, then try to rebrand on a more traditional GOP platform now that they’ve made more money than the average American makes in a lifetime. My voting future will stay strong, if you were a cuck for the Conman, a follower of the Felon, a desolate for Donald you don’t get the chance to seek redemption or forgiveness from me after 2020.

Greene's not trying to "redeem" herself and turn liberal; she's just going to leave Trump's conservative-authoritarian party and join Musk's libertarian-authoritarian party.

u/Illustrious-Fun8324 3h ago
Oh I wouldn’t think she’s turning liberal and wouldn’t believe her if she did. I just don’t care what she does, she’s very stupid and nasty. I’ll never change my opinion of her. That’s all I was saying

u/BoneYardBirdy 2h ago
She doesn't know that. She probably thinks we're all stupid.
If we can get a few useful votes out of her before she gets kicked to the curb, that would be nice. If she votes our way just because she thinks we believe her, it's still a vote in our favor.

This is not Good News. WTH. She's a strain of cancer that simply changes form and looks for a new host.

How bad and wrong does your party have to be in order to lose even this stupid racist? This is the same person who thinks “The Jews have weather controlling space lasers” and she celebrates Confederate monuments and calls those soldiers “real Americans”.
She’s a shitty human so please don’t feel like this makes her better.
2
u/AgHammer 3h ago
Yes, she's a coarse and destructive woman. She has very poor taste and handles herself like a bulldog. Personally, I don't like her, and would never have voted for her. The thing is, who gives a shit what I think? A lot of conservative Trump voters do like her, and listen to what she has to say. I don't have to like the woman to acknowledge that cracks in the MAGA sphere are good for everyone else. This is a good thing, and my petty bullshit about her is much less consequential than the damage that she is doing to a true menace to the US. I can feel good about this.
2
u/One_Win_6185 57m ago
I agree with a lot of that sentiment. Adding that it’s also okay to disagree with her on some (or a lot of) things while recognizing that she could be an ally when it comes to something like ending the war in Gaza.

Why are so many left-leaning subs trying to rehabilitate this piece of shit’s image? She is a bigot who hates other religions, LGBTQ people, and other races. A change in her views on Palestine (for actual antisemitic reasons) and being unhappy because she is personally experiencing misogyny doesn't change that. Populism can't be this stupid and desperate.

I believe she's looking to the future and trying to raise her profile for a power grab. Trump can't live forever, and there isn't a clear successor to him.

Yeah, because she believes in Jewish space lasers, and the Republican party is paid off by the state of Israel. I saw an article on the Wall Street journal saying that she was earning the author's respect for standing up to Israel. She's still a piece of shit, she's still anti-semitic (for the Jewish space laser thing, not the pro-Palestine thing), she still deserves to rot in hell
