Perhaps she should’ve thought about that when she was cheerleading the crowd of neocons who are perpetrating all of this.
Ok. Yes. BUT.
You’re against supporting Israel because you’re antisemitic.
I’m against supporting Israel because I’m anti-imperialist and anti-war.
We are DEFINITELY not the same.
I don’t even think it’s (predominantly) her antisemitism that’s causing this, because she definitely also (probably moreso) hates Muslims; it’s her backwater isolationist mentality that the US should never help anybody but ourselves (totally ignoring how much helping others disproportionately helps us). I wrote a very large portion of Greene’s article on Wikipedia in 2021, and one of the biggest throughlines for her support for Donald Trump in 2020 was isolationism (“America First”).
It’s also why Greene was outspoken against the US’ invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro. An ardent anti-interventionalist is bound to occasionally be correct when the one intervening is an impulsive, reckless, bigoted, selfish imperialist.

If you look at Tucker’s rhetoric, its very similar.
Greene became politically engaged in 2016 when Trump’s isolationist, white supremacist campaign message resonated with her (two years later in 2018, she moderated a white supremacist conspiracy group on Facebook whose acronym was “FAP”; not relevant, just bringing it up); there’s not a chance in hell her rhetoric wasn’t also inspired by Carlson’s around that time (Trump’s messaging surely was).
I’d bet real money that her and all the other “conscientious MAGA objectors” would still vote Trump if they had another chance, though.
Yes but did Charlie consider that Trump would need a really bigly distraction from people talking about how he raped kids?
I don’t want to have or need health insurance… I want my taxes to fund Universal Healthcare, not wars.
I want my Gov to service my needs, and my neighbors needs, not to function as an entity that taxes the many and profits the already rich few.

Fuck off Marjorie. You don’t get to be the “Jewish space lasers” lady and a critic of the GOP. Talking shit now doesn’t make you look good, you just look willing to abandon your position when you think it’ll score you points. Republicans truly know how to find the weakest, stupidest, least genuine humans among us.

Yes, but…it works. Kamala isn’t president, and half tbe country loves trump and his hateful messaging.
WTH has gotten into her. Did someone hit her with a “reasonable” stick or something?
She’s doing what she’s always done. And that is too turn the sails before the wind.
The wind is changing direction. And so is she.
Syphilis?
if you think that the us has no interest in the geopolitical situation in Iran you are mistaken. Even if Israel wouldn’t exist there would be oil.
Also trump isn’t interested in human rights and regime change in Iran, he wants somebody they can control.
Also trump doesn’t call the shots obviously. The people hiding behind the orange are.
Oil is last century’s energy source. China has shown the solar path forward. It’s just that the US petro/auto-oligarchy cannot fathom any kind of transition.
Trump is not directly controlled by anyone. There’s nobody behind the curtain. He’s a narcissist being manipulated by Netanyahu (and Putin, and Orban and any other autocrat he looks up to), and who has surrounded himself with a court of amoral grifters with conflicting agendas. He does shit like this not because he has a plan but because it gives him a high, it makes him feel powerful and them he gets bored again.
I disagree with you about a group of people steering trump (as best they can). But hey, we will never know.
And yes, I agree that he has a personality disorder and does shit by himself but the grand scheme like taken the right steps to dismantle the democracy and checks and balances is above his competence level IMHO.
Regarding oil: it doesn’t matter if the us haven’t seen the light. It is still important to them now and will be for the foreseeable future. Right now there is a demand.
People will be taking flags down that they have flown for the past 9+ years. It’s important we remember who flew them
A friendly reminder that just because a fascist and a Nazi has a disdain for Israel, they’re still NOT allies. They’re still a fascist/Nazi, they’re not to be trusted and/or praised. The left, be they Libertarian Socialists, Marxist-Leninists, Maoists or Anarchists, support the Palestinian cause as it mirrors so many oppressors vs. oppressed dynamics throughout history. Muslims feel obligated to support their fellow Muslims in despair.
Fascists/Nazis oppose Israel out of their irrational hatred of Jews. There’s no separation of the State of Israel and the global Jewish community; they’re one and the same to them. They erroneously believe that they and Palestinian Arabs share a common enemy when, in fact, Palestine’s struggle is against colonists oppression. Hamas and Hezbollah may spout antisemitic views but this an extension of their radical Islamism. If Fascists/Nazi had their way, Jews, Arabs and all other non-whites would share the gas chambers. They boast about bogus but widely believed antisemitic conspiracies: Rothschilds, George Soros, ZOG, Cultural Marxism, Great Replacement, so on and so forth. The Rothschilds and Soros are, indeed, pieces of shits but, once again, fascists/Nazis hyperfixate on their Jewishness.
The media will portray the global solidarity movement as in league with fascists and Nazis. We must make clear that fascists and Nazis are not welcomed. That is why it’s important that we, under no circumstance whatsoever, make alliances with fascists/Nazis.
My biggest fear for 2028 is that we’ll face a choice between MTG (or someone in the Nick Fuentes mold) running on an explicitly anti-Israel, white Christian nationalist platform, and AOC running primarily on domestic issues with little foreign policy emphasis and that a vocal contingent on the left will choose the former. Not out of any coherent ideology, but because opposition to Israel has become such an overriding fixation that they’d willingly overlook everything that candidate represents: the rollback of rights for gay, Black, Latino, transgender, immigrant, Muslim, and Jewish communities alike.
