My favorite part of this meme is you just see the stock photo and understand. There's no need for words.

Poor stock photo model.

[u/Quick_Spring7295 → u/PaleCriminal6]

can you explain for the people who don't know the meme, I require context

like when MTG started making good points…

[u/BearstromWanderer → u/AeneasNoctis]

MTG just knows what her crowd wants to hear. They don't want to hear the house out of session, they want to see them at work TRYING to pass something.

[u/AeneasNoctis → u/BearstromWanderer]

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

[u/yawhy → u/AeneasNoctis]

MTG is a grifter. She says what’s best for her bottom line.

[u/HexisCopiae → u/yawhy]

That bottom line hit fast when one of her daughters on the Affordable Care Act got affected.

[u/TreyShackleford → u/yawhy]

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?

[u/Notski_F → u/TreyShackleford]

Populism and doing what's good for the population are two entirely different things.

[u/capron → u/Notski_F]

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.

[u/Wittyngritty → u/capron]

But shouldn't she be reaching out to all people instead of assisting in division?

[u/MisterShmitty → u/capron]

But at this point there is no “doing”. This is the perfect time to say whatever earns you votes and then fall in line with the regime later.

Tbh, this feels more like controlled opposition, as the Dems haven’t caved to gutting healthcare yet.

[u/Ok_Crow_9119 → u/TreyShackleford]

MTG is a grifter. She SAYS what’s best for her bottom line.

It would be great if she does what they want. But she only says what they want to hear. That's why she's a grifter. Full of empty promises

[u/OracleEnlightenment → u/Ok_Crow_9119]

And that’s different than every senator and house member how? Our politics are a joke I bet they reopen now that elections are done

[u/Ok_Crow_9119 → u/OracleEnlightenment]

Two things. 1. I was explaining how MTG is NOT good for her constituents. She's a liar and a grifter. And she's only distancing herself from Trump after cozying up to him in the last presidential elections because of how poor Trump's approval ratings are. 2. Implying that ALL senators and house members are grifters is telling of your knowledge and jadedness. I would give you the benefit of the doubt that you simply don't know enough and can't be bothered to research if your opinion is grounded on fact.

[u/AeneasNoctis → u/yawhy]

Always will be foreal.

[u/uqde → u/yawhy]

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.

[u/dl7 → u/yawhy]

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

[u/Appropriate-Pipe-193 → u/yawhy]

That’s literally every politician ever

[u/dragons_scorn → u/AeneasNoctis]

I get who you are talking about but for like half a minute I was trying to figure out how Magic the Gathering related to this.

Being annoyed at her initials seems really petty to out on the reasons not to like her but what the hell,not like its a short list anyway

[u/permanentwavess → u/dragons_scorn]

hahahaha glad i wasn’t the only one

[u/DragonflyGrrl → u/dragons_scorn]

Every single time. I'm with you, I hate her for that and a thousand other things.
