politics

She’s looking at the next election.

She can apologize all she wants, but actions speak louder than words. Until she starts taking action to prove she's sorry, nothing has actually changed.

Humbly, go fuck yourself.

Reflection and repentance is important, but it doesn’t immediately absolve you of all the shit you did to get to this point, and those you hurt and stepped on to get there.

She was okay less than 6 months ago, of her voters getting tased at a town hall, and was laughing at them. She is evil and playing a game right now.

Seriously.

I feel like i'm about to be put in a padded room. What the fuck is happening to my reality. what kind of weirdo alternate reality have I woken up to, where MTG of all people is being sane and rational... and has been that way for at least a month or three now.

Do I go outside and start flinging my hands at neighbors and screaming fireball, in the hopes this weird new world I have apparently found myself in has magic?

She’s on the oversight committee and has seen the unredacted Epstein files. She’s in survival mode and that means distancing from orange Shittler right now. Nothing more.

Oh she's off the coke. Good for her

“The most hurtful thing (Trump) said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor, and that is so extremely wrong,” Greene said, “and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.”

Congrats, you helped create the toxic cesspool that is modern politics. Go fuck yourself, cunt, you don't get pass now that it's affecting you personally.

Of course this is not a MAGA realizing they are a shitty person. It's just self interest to not get assassinated by some lunatic:

and those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger [...] It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Take down Trump as a show of good faith.

If anyone actually believes this bullshit, do me a favor and take a good look at yourself in a mirror….

Right there, what is staring back at you is exactly what got the fascist right to where they currently are;

It’s called “Gullibility.” STOP IT.

Follow it up with legislation that helps people, challenge impossible.

Nah.

This bitch doesn't get to do that.

If she starts voting with Democrats every single time, I might consider forgiveness.

My most charitable thinking about this is that she s always just playing to win. The way she acted was just that, an act. She did it because she knew it appealed to a particular segment of society that could get her elected. Now there is a sea change she is smart enough to know MAGA is doomed and she had jumped ship early because she thinks it will be more politically advantageous in the long run.

She may be genuinely remorseful if she is good for her, but it doesn't erase the things she had voted for, against, and the things she said that harmed people or incited violence deliberately or accidentally.

That said, she is somewhat uniquely positioned to assist in the deprogramming of MAGA members so, though I don't trust her, the things she is doing and saying today are leading people away from Trump, and that is the most vital mission right now.

Deeds, not words.

I'll believe this shit when I see it, which will probably be never.

I'm too old to be fooled by these MAGA morons and their crocodile tears.

I don't forgive you

/doubt

But if she does change and becomes a good person, I will accept her as a fellow human being. Until I see change, she is a big troll with spork toes.

“I would like to say, humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics; it’s very bad for our country,” Greene said. “It’s been something I’ve thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”

Huh, I didn't consider that might be a reason for her "change of heart." Was the first time she started saying things that made sense after he was shot?

Cool. Honestly and unironically, I hope so, whatever her reasons. Now go prove it.

She still believes and supports insane shit.

Remember when MTG screamed at an 18 year old David Hogg that he was funded by George Soros? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Sunday she will stop using “toxic” rhetoric, marking what would be a dramatic shift in a political brand...

Wow they didn't waste any time dragging her, I love it. 😄

She's positioning herself for running as Vance's VP in 2028. That's it.

She hasn't had a change of heart, she doesn't warrant us "giving her a chance," she's not "okay for a republican."

NOTHING has changed.

She's an unapologetic white supremacists who is happily employed by the billionaire class.

Would be dope if she actually turns over a new leaf. Im not willing to bet anything on it, but I'm willing to engage in a bit of cautious optimism and see if she lives by those words over the next few years

Its interesting how many conservatives expect to be completely forgiven after helping enable a nazi regime for years.

While I have my strong doubts and nothing will erase the harm of what's he's done already, I think we should encourage anyone that says something like this, especially if they are in a position of power. Sincerely hope shes able to make these words reality.

Bullshit. I will believe it when I see it.

She'll never have my vote for any number of reasons, but to see anyone as deep in the maga cult as her demonstrate any amount of growth... even if she falls back into old patterns at some point... it says something hopeful about steering this ship away from our current course if even she can gain the self awareness and humility to regret participating in these vitriolic forms of politics. Maybe, then, our parents and neighbors can see enough of the light to realize what this is bringing about, where we're headed, and have the humility to admit that they need to stop and to do better. It's only the smallest glimmer of hope, but it's more than my increasingly cynical ass has had in a minute. Keep working on yourself Marge, but glad to see the baby steps being taken.

No no no, you don't get to run from consequences

This is a good start. I still hope she leaves office and is never heard from again, but maybe her doing this will open the door for some more maga to find there way out of the cult.

Unpopular opinion: I say give her a chance. I’ve been watching a lot of conservative YouTube stuff ever since the Charlie Kirk bullshit. There’s a pretty substantial portion of former MAGA that actually have relatively leftl-leaning views, that haven’t figured out their views are pretty far left. A lot of those folks are kinda dumb, but if they start voting like me, I will not complain. Don’t shit on their potential awakening. I’d really like to see some reverse Fettermans.

“I’m szwowyz, pwetty pwease overlook my choices and beliefs thus far and elect me again”

So did she apologize for pushing stupid rhetorics, or misleading her followers. Or even admitting she got conned?!?

Rats know which way to run on a sinking ship.

I give it a week

The only kind of apology I want from that woman is for her to resign and never be heard from in public life again.

Can't say I'll ever begrudge anyone for not buying into this. Person like this, she's a symptom and a carrier. Spreading hate, fear, and ignorance.

Her type though is True Believer, and Trust No One. A conspiracy theorist with minimal real education and no faith in systems or the Authority in a Field. She wants so bad to be the good guy, but has failed to identify the structural problems. It has to be people, it has to be demons, it has to be the Joos. She's just hitting out now that the real bad guys have self-identified.

When she starts seeing the problems in the system that led to the ascendency of the bad guys then I'll be more interested in her face turn. Right now she's still too people focused to trust she won't just revert or find someone new to fawn over.

I wish her luck on this journey.
