Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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 say give her a chance.

You have no idea how many times I saw people saying this about Trump's first term before he started.

She has no values, she is a rat sensing the ship sinking before anyone else. They all know when Trump dies there will be zero leadership in the GOP and people are going to swing hard left to avoid the pedo circus.

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

Seriously this, what has she ever done to earn giving her a chance? The only reason she's speaking out is because she's now immediately affected, but couldn't give a shit before when others were in the same position as she is now.

Unfetteredmans.

We can hope, certainly. There are a lot of entities looking to capture them, though, and the wages of sin are actually pretty good, counted solely in gold. They buy a lot of advertising.

Adding "and a christian" makes the rest of that sign redundant.

I really hope she runs for Senate, because Warnock and Ossoff are quite popular in GA. She will fail and lose her House seat in the process. Good riddance bitch!

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

huh.

This might be more surprising than Trump glokglokking Bill.

Rats know which way to run on a sinking ship.

Rats abandoning a sinking ship

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.

+2 for looking in hindsight, but +2 does very little when you're sitting at -297

Okay. I'm willing to extend an olive branch by letting you try to make amends. I'm not saying I don't believe you. I'm not saying I don't don't believe you. I just need to see you do something first besides just saying "I'm sorry". If you actually actually mean it, you are not beyond redemption like tRump, Miller, or Musk.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago

Oh fuck off. The hateful bigot senses an opportunity to split off for her own benefit, nothing more.

Bullshit. She's a Republican, and lies easier than breathing. Believe NOTHING she says.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

Anything for more attention methinks

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Show don't tell. If you truly want to make amends for the utter chaos and despicable damage you have directly caused, spend the rest of your term fixing the damage and don't beg for reelection. Then when you don't get reelected, start pushing your networked associates to do the same. People will continue to hate your guts but you will have at least made some reparations for the harm you have done to the world.

Humility? Is that possible with the new conservative movement? I remember good old Richard Nixon, he stepped down, apologized, and disappeared.

She's changing her tone? She gonna turn dem?

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago

She's getting bullied by MAGA now, so yeah obviously she's now against intimidation and toxic rhetoric lol. Fuck that nazi, she still hates everyone: black people, immigrants, lgbtq+, "wokes", Don't be foul by that bleach-blonde-fascist-bitch. Do not trust these people, they will betray you.
