Calling it now: she's preparing to run for president.
2015: it's going to be fun to see Trump try and fail
2026: oh no MTG don't do it
I don’t think we have as much to worry with her, remember she’s a woman and we know how much America hates that
Remember that underestimating trump is what led to a lot of the pain we are feeling now. I would try not to make the same mistake again less than a decade afterwards.
Wow what a glow up, I love the fangs!
Yeah, that second picture is gorgeous. What a transformation!
For which party?
She's still a very right leaning Republican. Just been calling out the BS for attention recently.
Yeah. It was a bad attempt at a joke about how the Democrats in the US seem to ever slowly move to the right. Probably to attempt attracting a broader spectrum of voters, but it has the effect of making their policies not so distinguishable from any other right leaning party, just not as radical as the Republicans. And MTG moving from radical to somewhat sensible means she may soon reach a point very close to some Democrats.
Where ever the grift is the strongest.
You may be right because I've seen people calling it for a few months now.
I reaaaallly want to be wrong lol
