39. You have to remember that MTG was a true believer
Sat Nov 22, 2025, 11:14 AM
Nov 22

She spent years in the Qanon rabbit hole and it'll be a long time, if ever, before she reconciles that with reality.

She believes the things she says, and I think honestly can't understand why Trump pushed her out.

I don't she's all that politically astute, so the idea of needing to distance herself for a statewide run isn't something she's going to be thinking about. She's even going out of her way to remind everyone of all the things she did to help Trump over the years.

I wouldn't expect MTG to suddenly become a Democrat. I actually expect the opposite, that she could become a 3rd party challenger from the right.
