    MTG has completely 180d on most of her policies in the last twelve months, so at this point disagreeing with MTG is disagreeing with AOC most of the time, at least in the headlines and posts.

    For anybody else who is unaware.

      It seems more that she’s grown aware and upset that Trump hasn’t kept his campaign promises that she agrees with.

      She’s not marching under an ally flag anytime soon, just softening her rhetoric and laying low till Trump gets off her back for “betraying” him in demanding the Trumpb Epstein files be released (which was her and Trump’s position prior to the presidential election).

      She started spewing ivermectin once the Hantavirus news was coming.

      She didn’t 180 anything. She agrees with YOUR opinion every once in a while, not the other way around.

        Nope, you are completely wrong there.

        MTG reads the New York Times now, has 180d her stances on health care, trump, women’s rights, democratic legislation, inflation, supporting the war, foreign policy in general, the military budget, mass deportation, she’s reading about history she was absolutely clueless about before, she’s 180d on a bunch of stuff the past year.

          Don’t get played.

          If she had actually changed she wouldn’t have resigned; she’d have stayed in Congress and fought them.

          She slid out at the perfect time. She’ll be a well paid talking head in the midterms and go on a lucrative lecture tour afterwards. She’ll probably run in the 2028 primaries and go into the Convention with enough support to make a great deal for herself.

          When it was advantageous for her to play the rube she played the rube. Now she is playing at reform.

                You’re all playing yourselves.

                You’re terrified of being hoodwinked by someone who complains about Jewish space lasers.

                If you like MTG, that’s your thing, but don’t pretend I do when I explicitly said otherwise.

                You guys are plainly wrong on current publicly available political facts, so I’m setting you straight.

          If you want to assume short term political posturing is 180d behavior I think it’s going to take more than 3 months to prove it’s how she really is now.

          She’s tweeted:

          “I actually texted her today and asked what can we treat hantavirus with. I’m so glad she posted it. Ivermectin. Also vitamin D and zinc. Those of us who refused to lockdown, mask up, and get vaxxed took the good ole horse paste and also developed natural immunity.”

            If you want to believe everything apologetician says, by all means go ahead but don’t put words in the mouth of others because you’ve embarrassed yourself.

              Oh, I’m certainly not embarrassed, good luck out there lil bro.

              I’ll file this under “little fella might be schizophrenic” and forget you exist.

                  You: mtg made a complete “180d” on everything!

                  Others: well no. She is actually just lying.

                  You: OMG. I can’t believe how hard she played you. You fell right into her trap!

                  Bro. What the actual fuck are you talking about?

      I’m aware that she is a shit human who lies about her policies because all she believes in is the grift.
