    She cheers on children being deported from the US, but cares about children being starved half a world away? She’s not one for consistency, is she?

      “I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to pay for genocide in a foreign country against a foreign people for a foreign war that I had nothing to do with,”

      It’s consistent from the viewpoint of not wanting to pay for what happens to those children abroad or at home, no matter the nature or morality of the action. Also: Look at the use of the word ‘foreign’ and think about, who she means with each use. Not with the ‘right’ intentions, she ends up at the correct policy.

      she got into congress talking about jewish space lazers. she’s actually an antisemite, but this is a case where her antisemitism is leading her to the right conclusion. work with her on the bill but hold her at arms length is the strategy. it’s like when you have someone experiencing an acute crisis but you’re ACAB. you work with the cops to resolve the acute crisis but you don’t let that let you trust the cops.

      mtg is filled with hate. right now, in this moment, she just happens to hate the right thing to be helpful

      She does not care about Gazans. She’s an actual antisemite and Russian stooge. This is about hurting Israel to the benefit of Iran and, therefore, Russia. She also loudly opposed the strikes on Iran.

      One is war and the other is disenfranchisement dressed up as war. The latter is the entire republican platform.
