      Weird to be rooting for MTG. I think she’s just standing up for her principles and while those are usually somewhat unhinged, they happen to be aligned with the wider populace today. She’s still got a chance to fuck us over, but right now it’s a great example of the ‘The Worst Person you know just made a great point’ meme.

        I think she sees the writing on the wall and is gunning to be the leader of whatever populist conservative movement arises post trumpism

      trump is likely going to die in office (FUCK YES) and all the vultures are circling to try and take over his Legacy because even the US Military is not sufficiently strong to make people like couch fucker. And mtg is dumb enough to think that can be her. Someone who “reaches across the table” to fight the evil entrenched government elites and blah blah blah.

      Probably an awareness that as the shutdown goes on and more people learn what it’s about, more people will side with Democrats.

      I think she wants a long political career and she’s betting on MAGA failing. She still wants to remain on the right wing, but she’s trying to distance herself sooner than later.
