    She has also stated elsewhere that she is surprised by the sexism that exists in the Republician party. I wouldn’t necessarily trust her mental faculties.

      That’s an excessively nice way of saying that she’s an absolute fucking moron.

      I see people on Lemmy who keep trying to paint her as some kind of opportunist who broke with Trump because she sees which way the wind is blowing. But no, she’s only broken with Trump because she only just recently finally got it through her skull that he was lying about the things she supported him for. She wasn’t in on the grift; she was among those who fell the hardest for it!

        Yeah. She was a true believer. She wanted to go to Washington and expose an evil conspiracy about elite pedophiles who were puppets of Israel, and she found exactly what she was looking for. But it turned out to be the team she was playing for.

          german has a beautiful word for that:

          naturblöd

          (naturally stupid, but sound a lot like “naturblond”, which is just naturally blonde)

          Of course she’s a horrible person! But that doesn’t mean she can’t also be a gullible nitwit who was duped by other horrible people.

          My purpose is not to redeem MTG, but to point out how comprehensively irredeemable she truly is. She isn’t just stupid or mean; she’s both stupid and mean.
