"The truth is, look, you may have supported President Trump for 10 years like I did and like you have. But this is not the same man,” Greene insisted. “This is not the same man that we supported.”

As opposed to saying "we were wrong"

Shes still a piece of shit

It's a lie of course, and everyone knows it, but it's a useful lie. It gives people who want out of the cult a graceful exist without having to admit to being wrong.

Every person who turns against trump is a victory, regardless of their reasons or the quality of their character.

I was watching a Canadian political talk show and they brought some clips from early in his first term, him threatening fire and fury to North Korea which is not far off from the language he threatened Iran with.

So it's definitely the same guy pulling the same shtick, maybe with more advanced dementia, but crucially Trump has systematically (with the support from MTG and other MAGA faithful) removed anyone competent enough to prevent him from following through on his impulses. Those impulses that have always been there, and that Democrats and never-Trumper Republicans have warned about.

He's the same fucking psycho, she just doesn't want to admit it either.

She might be so deluded as to think she’s never been wrong before, or to have never actually changed her mind on anything. If that is the case, then her mind actually changing might appear as if the thing it’s changing about is what changed, even if nothing there has changed at all.

The mind is incredibly good at deluding itself. And mental illness is rampant and in America barely noticed at all. She probably doesn’t think her mind has changed, literally.
