Marjorie Taylor Greene joins Bernie Sanders in urging US to end Gaza famine
She cheers on children being deported from the US, but cares about children being starved half a world away? She's not one for consistency, is she?
“I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with,”
It's consistent from the viewpoint of not wanting to pay for what happens to those children abroad or at home, no matter the nature or morality of the action. Also: Look at the use of the word 'foreign' and think about, who she means with each use. Not with the 'right' intentions, she ends up at the correct policy.
she got into congress talking about jewish space lazers. she's actually an antisemite, but this is a case where her antisemitism is leading her to the right conclusion. work with her on the bill but hold her at arms length is the strategy. it's like when you have someone experiencing an acute crisis but you're ACAB. you work with the cops to resolve the acute crisis but you don't let that let you trust the cops.
mtg is filled with hate. right now, in this moment, she just happens to hate the right thing to be helpful
One is war and the other is disenfranchisement dressed up as war. The latter is the entire republican platform.
She does not care about Gazans. She's an actual antisemite and Russian stooge. This is about hurting Israel to the benefit of Iran and, therefore, Russia. She also loudly opposed the strikes on Iran.
Don’t overthink it. If someone’s willing to work with you on something in earnest, take the opportunity.
Yeah what we're questioning is the "in earnest" part, because in the past she's * checks notes * she's batshit crazy, and it worries me that I don't know her goals here.
100% agree, but we can make crazy work if given the opportunity…just not holding my breath
This is a bad take. You really do need to think about who you stand with, even if they appear to align on one thing.
No. In politics, you have to work with opposing sides to get something pushed over the line.
This kind of thinking is why the political sphere is so polarized today. Conservative thinking is regressive and should be challenged, but if you can use them occasionally to push for progress in other areas, you absolutely should.
Are you suggesting the Bernie should tell her he doesn't want her to support him and Gaza?
Still an evil bitch!
Not really... Bernie isn't reaching out to her. He cannot control her opinions, and just because they appear to maybe agree on one thing, doesn't mean he's "associating" with her. That's not how it works.
This might be the one time it’s actually motived by antisemitism.
Rare time I give MTG credit.
Cool story bro, she's still a Nazi
Fuck Israel, genocidal scum!
Thank God she saved Gaza.
What timeline am I in?
The weirdest
I think the archons of The Simulation are just fucking with us all at this point, to see how much absurd we’ll tolerate.
That's an improvement from just "worst".
It's an ancillary one, so it's always changing in unexpected ways. It'll supernova soon, though, and we'll all get shuffled off to a new one.
