I look at what is happening with Greene and can’t help but think of this as something akin to cancel culture. While I align closer with AOC than MTG, I’m not sure distancing yourself from somebody like Greene - who has genuinely started changing their views despite her Bill Burr style rhetoric stating she’s not changing and has always thought like this - is helpful to your cause. I think it could do a few things like alienate potential partners, keep Greene from moving closer to you on the spectrum, etc. and none of them are particularly good.
I think all we can really do is welcome Greene over with open arms. Now, I’m tempered because I’m not sure she will shift any farther than where she is now, but I think alienating her is a good way to keep her as your enemy. And I don’t need more of those. Frankly, I applaud Green for this last year she’s spent in the ire of Trump. It take courage to speak out. And now that she is speaking out we want to alienate her? I don’t like that, even knowing that welcoming her over will come with a lot of strain.
Edit: I’m gonna stand by what I’m saying and say you are exactly who this message is for. No one is perfect, and I’m not saying she hasn’t done or isn’t doing some horrible stuff. That has nothing to do with what I said. What I said was that casting her aside just hurts all of us because we are alienating people who are trying to change. Think back to who you were as a teen or even ten years ago, did you like who you were? We’ve all done horrible shit. We aren’t magically better people. This is like telling an addict to get help, then when they do, we tell them we can’t have them on our lives because they used to do drugs.
Yeah, fuck that noise and fuck her too. You can go ahead and pat her on the back for doing the bare fucking minimum and nothing will change.
MTG is currently going around telling people to take invermectin for the Hanta virus. MTG’s brief period of sanity is already well over.
Yeah not much difference betweem the two of them huh? It's a fuckin act she is pulling. How the fuck you even remotely have anything close to mtg says you might need some personal reflection
We don't open the door for known grifters. It's not fucking hard, bro.
This is unwavering forgiveness is how the lefts message gets diluted and shifts right.
