    If I’m giving her the absolute benefit of the doubt, it just feels like she was an uneducated conservative parent who fell for Trump, and only just lately has she actually woken up to what he’s about.

    It’s probably not as good as this though.

      I think she’s distancing herself from anything Epstein while she still can.

      I like to think she was just some lady who got hit on the head by a falling coconut, and that turned her into the cartoon character she was when we all met her, and since then she recently got hit by another coconut and now this is who she is.

        Maybe she’s like a reverse John Fetterman. She was a MAGA fascist but then had a stroke and became a rational person. Opposite of fetterman.

      Let’s be very clear: she’s a massively racist bootlicker, this is not a new leaf she turned over, it’s fucking around and finding out.

      I think part of it is that she’s like every Confederate ever, on nearly every issue. It’s a trope for a reason - unless it affects them or someone very close to them, they don’t give a fuck. So one of their kids gets pregnant while a teen, or one of their kids comes out, etc…when it comes to the health insurance, it’s because her kids are hitting the 26 years mark.

      If she can see the other stuff, that’s just icing on the cake, and I’ll take it. I mean the tariffs are probably Taco manipulating the market. It sickens me that someone like him can just brazenly enrich himself with the market manipulation, the grifting, and things like crypto. I guess Marj got sick of it, too, although I have to admit I’m surprised about it. My cynical self wonders if it’s because of some similar selfish reason the Confederates are known for. Still, the outcome is the same…

      I think this is the case as well. Hers could be a valuable perspective for helping others to break free of their own trump derangement trance. Hope it spreads far and wide.

      She wants a shitty America that conforms to her way of thinking. Problem is that trump is making it hard for her by making it hard on her constituents, and her ratings have been falling, so maybe this is all just self-preservation.
