Georgia voters react as Marjorie Taylor Greene backs Obamacare subsidies during shutdown

28 comments

1. It has become devastatingly clear that Marjorie Taylor Greene is the best and brightest of the republican party.

   Holy fuck.

2. Her policy positions are moving more to the left as she becomes more informed, funny how that works

3. Is it possible she’s sensing a future downfall of the current maga regime when people see how bad this is about to get and wants to be part of whatever will come from the ashes of it.

   So many thoughts here but whatever the trend is I hope it continues in this direction.

4. More than just MTG being the rare voice of reason, it’s the idea of the people who elected someone like her grateful to her for standing up for healthcare that makes me wonder if we entered into some kind of Star Trek Mirrorverse.

5. It’s insane how the right is nothing more than Anti-Left. 

6. What the heck, the voted in politician, actually taking into account the needs, and the desires of the people that voted for them? I am befuddled, kudos to her!

7. GOP used to pretend they had something better to replace the ACA with. Truth is they never had anything to replace it with and only wanted it removed. They would be happy for most Americans to not have healthcare, die early and not burden the system. MTG is just somewhat seeing the truth to this.

8. Hey MAGA MORONS!!

   Added Bonus:  LOL. You get to payoff all the debt for the tax cuts for the billionaires.

   Great job! You’re a special kind of stupid!!

9. The pattern to MTG seems to be to oppose party line until she gets what she actually wants. So in that light, this backing of ACA subsidies will blow over and she’ll tow the party line as soon as she gets her under the table deal, whatever that may be

10. The woman who believes in weather wizards actually stands up for something. That’s hell, I don’t even care if she actually believes that it’s good or bad. I’m just f****** shocked it’s real

11. I have the growing sense she’s only taking these moderate stances against the Republican grain because she’s aiming for a Georgia senate run and wants to have some sort of appeal to moderates in a purple state.

12. Epstein list fuckery broke her spell. Democrats should take notes.

13. Did she start taking her meds or something?

    I’d be willing to toss her a couple million in Jewish space laser defense money if we all get to keep our healthcare.

14. Let’s just embrace this so it becomes more normalized for other republicans to speak out. We don’t know how pure her intentions are, but let’s not overthink it.

15. Given her history I don’t trust her for a second. But hey, there’s at least a slim chance she has grown a conscience and we can only hope for that.

    She is speaking the truth while the rest of her party is completely off the rails, and when she speaks people pay attention.

16. I think she feels guilty and betrayed for what she voted for in the BBB. I think she is anti establishment and the BBB ended up being establishment garbage that the heritage foundation and ALEC put together.

    She thought MAGA would be beyond the influence of establishment politics… but i think she is realizing that its not.

17. She’s been acting like an over the top lunatic the last several years to gain the crazy people in office’s trust so they give her info. needed to expose them all. Now she’s gotten all she wants from them and is ready to reveal her true intentions and that is to dismantle the party and get them all locked up.

    I know fan fiction but hey, I can dream

18. My tinfoil hat theory is that she’s seen the writing on the wall within the party.

    What the writing is, I have no idea, but she’s scared, and is now heel-turning to the ACTUAL needs of her constituents to try and keep her seat in the mid-terms. A shoe is going to drop, probably soon, which will fracture the Republicans.

    My guess? If it’s not the Epstein files, it’s that Trump is going to die in office, and the GOP is not aligned with who will take up the mantle. In fact, I would go a step further and say that knives are already out and backstabbing is already happening that the public is unaware of.

    She doesn’t want to be caught in the tidal wave of crossfire that is coming…

19. Listening to your constituents. Holy shit, what a concept.

20. Honestly, this is a soft article. CBS has been castrated.

    This article broached on MTG’s relatively recent shift but completely ignored (a) what is her actual stance today, and (b) what is she proposing.

    MAGA is a shell and CBS appears to be fostering it.

21. Why anyone wants to inflict pain on another is deeply disturbing.

22. It’s just because she up for reelection

23. She’s pandering to get votes . Don’t believe her .

24. I’m in Missouri and what the GOP is doing will collapse rural hospitals. Part of me wants to laugh at them and the other part feels sad at just how ignorant & brainwashed many of these people are.

25. Regardless of how bonkers she is it does seem like she listens to her constituents. Maybe not overall but definitely more than the vast majority of GOPs.

26. She’s standing up what she feels is right. We have to allow an offramp for Republicans, who are changing their stance and standing up.

27. It’s utterly insane how the sole voice of reason in the Republican party is the woman who literally believes that Jewish space lasers exist to cause fires in California in order to make way for a high-speed rail project, and that weather altering technology controlled by the government caused the Texas floods and Hurricane Helene.

    She’s even supporting the victims of Epstein and give credence to their voices, while her whole party rallies behind a pedophile, and says stuff like “stop attacking pedophiles.” Not saying that she’s necessarily an ally of the people, but I’m glad that at least someone stands for more than simple cruelty in the Republican party, even if that person clearly has a few screws loose.

28. She got hit with the Reverse Fetterman ray.
