It might seem counterintuitive, but we should be supporting MTG in this for two reasons.
One, it divided Republicans. The MAGA base is fracturing right now and we should put pressure in the fault lines to keep it that way. “No New Wars” is one of those fractures. As with Epstein, it’s a trigger point that Trump has opened the door for. There is the real potential to do 2-3% permanent damage to the MAGA base because of the hypocrisy of Trump’s campaign versus their governence, and it’s the most consistent early adopters/ true believers you’d be cleaving off. 2-3% is the difference between a blue ripple and a landslide in the mid terms.
Second, opposing Israel is the morally right thing to do. I wouldn’t care if it was Ted fucking Cruz. Take the ally for this fight at least. Democrats lost the election because of their inconsistency on this issue. It works against them now in the same manner.
Why the F*** have 2 of the craziest republicans have suddenly become the “voice of reason”?
They take turns with the ‘sane stick’, so they can’t be accused of always being the worst.
There’s a long pattern of this.
