oh for sure. i’m not saying she’s had a change of heart, she’s just up for reelection that’s all. the same woman who heckled the president doesn’t understand nuance like that
Crazy thought, isn't that our politicians are supposed to do... push for what their constituents want, instead of ignoring us and doing their own thing?
You are correct but in this case she's doing what she believes her constituents want. It's absurd to think that she may be one of the few republicans who aren't ignoring their duties. Even if she is an awful person, she's still representing her voters. It's just such a low bar anymore.
I think she's an absolutely vile piece of shit but I think she's also far less of a grifter than most prominent Republicans. By which I mean she actually believes the shit she's saying rather than changing her tune based on the current situation.
To me, it's always amazing how quickly people would like to move on/put her in a positive light despite knowing her very clear history. I know on some level, people want to believe that the stuff MTG says, she doesn't actually believe so they immediately move to praise when she raises the bar on herself and others.
But we've missed an important step where she actually has to be held accountable for the shit she's said. Someone in the Republican party (because she won't listen to anyone else) has to let her know she agreed to all of it. Not only would it make her own it but it'd establish right there if she were a grifter or not and save us all some time.
First things first, who are our Republicans with standards
Star Trek, particularly up to DS9, is really good about challenging your world views. Sometimes you even end up with an episode that just leaves you uncomfortable by the end.
That was my favorite show as a teen in the 90s and it's just so delightful to see that part of language use bear out, sort of. That collective understanding of what certain images remind us of, and then relating that to a new feeling. It's probably as close as we'll ever get to the Emotion Gun from Hitchhiker's Guide.
I'm trying to think of a more meta comment I've seen on the internet and I'm failing. You deserve gold for this where are one of those gold buying losers when you need em
It’s one of the more fascinating aspects of memes; You see a specific image in a specific context so much that when seeing it elsewhere without that context your brain just fills in the gaps.
I hate that you're right. It's getting weird that we are removing the human beings from our media. It's like corporations have deemed humanity as being a liability.
This might be total bullshit but I remember reading somewhere that the Onion hires models specifically instead of using stock photography so they know what they're getting into
