There is nothing a Karen hates more than a woman in power. And there are a lot of Karens who vote. ---

That ad was a complete knockoff of what @lincolnproject has been running since last year. Sounds like the same “oh, Donald” female announcer. I’d guess it was produced by them. ---

Yes, the article states that even the Lincoln project people themselves said “it could have been one of ours”. They did not seem bothered. ---

Yeah! Especially for tipping him off that it would be a good day to wear body armor. (If he had any sense ((ha ha, I know)) he’d wear it all the time and just say that it’s his thing.) ---

Marjorie Taylor Greene has now admitted it was a riot. But also that riots are just to overthrow tyrants. Which obviously makes no sense just for the fact that a man who was not due to be sworn in for another two weeks can’t be a tyrant nor overthrown. ---

I would be willing to bet more than a dollar that MT Greene is on record saying _less_ complimentary things about “riots” featuring (for example) black people protesting police killings of the unarmed.
