Marjorie Taylor Greene Reportedly Plots 2028 Presidential Run as a 'Real MAGA' Republican
I hope so. MAGA Republicans aren't going to vote for a woman for president. I have a feeling it would be a humiliating experience for her.
MTG vs. AOC.
I'd tune in to watch that.
You know how on the TV there's this type of a character that's like a female head of a crime family that has to be smarter and stronger than the men and everyone is scared of her and respects her? MAGA would vote for a candidate like that. They don't like womanly women that are educated and attractive. A strong, christian motherly figure? That's a different story.
MAGA Republicans are so stupid they will believe MTG is not a real women and still vote for her. All you need is a bit of propaganda on Fox.
Explains why she's said a few somewhat reasonable things lately as opposed to before when all she said was batshit crazy garbage.
Except MAGA doesn't like 'reasonable'.
Article mentions she's seemingly trying to court anti-Trump people by going on stuff like CNN. Guessing the "real MAGA" thing means trying to "improve" America instead of just being part of a cult (even if her understanding of what would improve the country is radically different from mine).
Anyway by reasonable I meant she wasn't talking about the Biden admin controlling the weather with space lasers to destroy Republican communities and was instead going against most Republicans for stuff like the Epstein files and so on.
Nah. They just redefine what ‘reasonable’ is.
If she becomes the first female president, I'm probably going to off myself. High likelihood. Nonzero.
Just another vile demagogue. And people will be dumb enough to vote for her.
NO NO NO!
she's a great candidate! let's boost her so that she beats all the other Rs so that the Ds win!
oh, we tried that? and what happened? oh, wow. maybe we shouldn't do that this time.
lol the GOP will never let a woman lead
I would love MTG to be the Republican nominee. That would guarantee AOC in a head to head match up.
You over estimate Americans. People said this shit about the orange goblin. This concept of let their dumbest most pathetic candidate rise to the top so we can crush them no longer works.
Republican education cuts working their magic
I literally and unironically laughed out loud the first time I heard that Donald Trump was running for president. I didn't think it could possibly be genuine, but here we are.
I’m betting on sexism. I think that’s a safe bet right now
I mean, she is a better representation of what republicans and MAGA actually say they are. When you really dig in to what they believe they would never vote for Trump if they weren't indoctrinated into a cult that he created. He's literally against everything they stand for when you go past the surface but they are so blinded by owning the libs that they don't see it anymore. Remember before the election last year and every republican, including voters, said that Trump was poison and that they would never support him again? They know this deep down even if they won't admit it. They just either don't care, want something out of it, or are genuinely blind to him fucking everyone over. MTG used to be one of the hardcore believers and I genuinely think was brainwashed and is slowly starting to realize it.
But to be clear, I still think she is a garbage human. I just believe that deep down this is the candidate they'd actually want if they weren't so deep in the propaganda from their Dear Leader. She would actually do republican things and not just use it as a guise to become a dictator.
If a new "real maga" comes out of the current maga and allows the movement to reset its image of economic failure and child sexual abuse I'm gonna be fucking pissed.
Then be pissed, because Trumpism was never going to go away on it's own, and is only going to get worse and more powerful with time.
The "tea party" did the same thing for conservatism. The "tea party" thing morphed into the "maga" thing. The "maga" bullshit will likely go through a re-branding if Taco flames out anything like W did.
Imagine if we had a media that actually pointed out that all this bullshit was going on and not letting the Nazis burn their uniforms and pretend they never heard of W, or Pedonald, and certainly were never part of this Republican Party thing, they are just "independents" who are "taxed enough already", LOL.
Imagine if, instead of that - we had a media that didn't feel the need to be needlessly "objective" in the face of massive amounts of lying, and instead, pointed out that all these people are Republicans. That "tea bagger/tea party" == "maga" == "alt right" == conservative == Republican.
It's all the same awful people with basically the same agenda: steal money from the lower and middle class, give it to the parasitic class of elites, crush labor and let corporations rule, while using racist/misogynist policies and rhetoric to get just enough morons to vote for them. I wish we had a media that would not be shy about rigorously pointing this out and every opportunity, but most of our media is run by the very same corporations that wish to rule...
Trump put soo much of his identity into MAGA that I doubt it'll end well for her.
This sounds ridiculous of course.
But so did a Trump run, it used to be a joke when he put his hat in.
No one is laughing now.
Fuck I really don't want to see her face or hear her talk more. Her ads will be maddening.
Yeah, that tracks with her recent walking back of her Qanon shit posting.
I am also unsurprised that The View has helped her along with this effort. 😒
So does this mean she wants the VP slot under Vance? Or is this some sort of fundraising grift?
No, it looks like Erika Kirk is the one under JD Vance lately....
Zing!
Pass.
Don't be so quick to dismiss, are you aware of the jewish space lasers problem?
Fellow people of Lemmy, the first women President of America. I do hope this comment ages like milk.
Can't wait to see that debate
I'm not expecting the next presidential debate to be much more than grunting and screaming.
I've seen glimpses of her arguing like a fishmonger in congress. Not lookin forward to it.
Gross. Also, lol. Racist mysogynistic inbred morons aren't going to vote for a woman, Marge. Get it thru your dumb head.
She is fairly stupid so that part is real magat.
This is a good thing.
She basically represents a district full of KKK members lmao.
This might be a good thing actually. More votes for the other side lol. But what if it’s woman vs woman?!
Well now we know why she changed her tune.
I truly can't decide whether she'd be better or worse than the current lunatic in chief.
I'd vote for her (in their primary to make it easier to elect a better Dem)!
Yeah, I knew someone who voted that way, he voted for Trump and we see how that worked out...
I meant it as a joke, though not gonna lie I wouldn't mind seeing AOC vs MTG. Though knowing the Dems, it'll be a Hillary or Kamala reboot and... Ugh, we'll be saying President Greene in 2029.
Good luck!
The only way she gets to run is if Trump dies in office before then.
Lmao
Called it!
I don't think there are enough hillbillies to vote for her.
I think you underestimate their ability to procreate, indoctrinate, and retaliate. Kids born during the Obama administration are just starting to turn 18, and a lot of their parents were terrified of melanin (Brown, Black, or Other).
The you are not paying attention. They are legion.
I Made Jokes about exactly that. End of Line.
MAGA voters seem pretty unlikely to vote for women.
I mean it's a trippple doom for her. She's a woman, she's half way shedding maga siding with dem's on the epstein files, and on protecting healthcare, and she has a history of being outright crazy in multiple directions.
In short, I don't think her recent forays into sanity are going to erase the stain the R party has on it now, nor erase her claims of weather controlling machines and space lasers to earn any support from the left.
Then to court maga... obviously they'd need to be less sexist, and she'd need to seem more... on trumps side.
I think AOC's comment is probably right, she got snubbed for senate seat by trump... and now she's pissed and wanting to break that glass ceiling.
Newsom/Greene 2028, lmao (please let this be a joke!)
She is crazy enough, however, to make a big stink if Trump doesn't step aside and let her have a crack at the Presidency.
Her insanity and bigotry syncing up with some key issues isn't "sanity". It's random chance.
I think you're underestimating the potential power of "vote for a woman to own the libs and show them we're not sexist. They're stupid!"
They'd be faster to transvestigate her first
That's why we need to be promoting this as a brilliant idea
The one flaw in an otherwise brilliant plan.
