Too many people on the right think it’s beneath them to acknowledge the effectiveness of having at least a few such people on “their side,” all while we are being bulldozed over by multiple such individuals from the other side.

Now THAT, is what is called 'a shot across the bow'! The more egregious and overtly partisan Twitter and their Ilk exposes themselves to be, the harder it will be for the new Congress to justify inaction against them. This will become a Primary qualifier 'litmus test' to potential candidates. Just like CRT.

McCarthy had best get in behind MGT, or else. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Why do you think the Left wants her to keep doing this, if it makes the GOP look so bad, while also praising AOC? Who is demonstrably far worse, yet gets treated like a rockstar?

Even when she’s right about something there is enough self-inflicted damage for her to be dismissed as a kook.


The Left will vilify her or anyone, regardless of the facts. Trump got impeached 2x's for fake charges. The entire Russia scam was just cover for Joe's Ukraine deal, and even when Hunter's laptop was shown to be legit, nobody did anything about it anyways.

These are the same people who still hold Jessie Smollett in higher regard, despite the fact he was found guilty of staging an attack on himself, than anything MTG could possibly say or do.

So at the end of the day, what does it matter? She's right, they'll still cast her as some fringe nut, simply to tarnish the opposition. Say nothing, or fight back. I think I'd prefer the latter.

She has been blocked from every committee, bulldozed if you will. What has she been effective at accomplishing? Seriously.

LOL at pretending Congress is still really a legitimate legislative body.

How many members own stock in Twitter, Facebook etc or have received campaign financing from them? How many "just for show" Congressional hearings do you have to watch before you realize they aren't interested in taking action against them.

I agree, but talk is cheap when not followed by action.

'The squeaky wheel gets the oil', BN. In the cacophonous tirade that is todays fight for real truth as opposed to the MSM-established 'narrative' du jour...it is only the likes of MGT that gets heard. It's like Trump's "they are rapists" bomb; it ultimately forced focus on IMMIGRATION. Which was the point of the bomb.

It's ugly, but sadly it is necessary given today's politics and media options.

I get it, but when the media gives MTG airtime, it makes you wonder. She comes off looking like a dipshit and the right laps it up without any hesitation. Some of it is cringe and if we can't be critical of our own side, then we are just mindless puppets. We aren't required to like everything about her to support her.

The Left has the advantage of media and messaging. They kick our arse all over the place in that arena. AOC, no matter how insane her green new deal is is preaching to the next generation of voters. Her message is in direct alignment with what kids are being force-fed at school. Everything she talks about is centered around caring for you.. the planet.. food security, equity, equality etc.. her policies don’t matter. She cares and that is the message that is driven home via the media. MTG will not get that benefit. She’s spreading disinformation is the narrative that has been set and in effect she wants you to die because of the “disinformation” that she spreads.

Most people don’t follow things like most of us do. They see headlines, tweets, hear top of the hour news blurbs and move on. All of those things written by the Leftist foot soldiers working in conjunction with their masters in the democrat party.

If you only pay attention to the people you choose to follow, I don't see how people can really hate it so much. I use it 99% for sports related stuff so everything I see on there is about sports.
