What if, instead of it being a RW podcast, it was focused on what Trump and Co have done to throw their own supporters under the bus? I’d imagine the list of people that supported the MAGA movement and then were thrown under the bus isn’t that short. Especially when you add in all the people that I’m guessing it happened to but aren’t noteworthy enough to make national news.
It would be like one of those “I was in a cult” documentaries.
Call it Escaping MAGA.

How would that let her grift off her audience?

When MAGA collapses, and it _will_ collapse, they’re going to try to find some other slimy hole to crawl into. MTG could offer them a place to go. A place where they can cry about how Trump betrayed “the cause” and this time things will be different. Oh, and a place where she can fleece them.

I live relatively close to this district.
Locally she is likely viewed as a moderate. I am not joking.

I have a feeling MTG won’t be the last congressperson to resign in the next couple months. I think the rats realize their ship is sinking and won’t want to either: 1) Serve in the minority, or 2) Lose. Plus I don’t think many of them are too happy with having to deal with Speaker Johnson right now. He may not even be Speaker by Election Night.

I’ve run across a handful of articles saying exactly that. I haven’t looked at them, so I have no idea how likely it is to happen, but you’re not the only person saying that.

Just in case you haven’t seen it, @Odesio opened up a new thread to talk about IF there’s going to be any implosion or exodus in Republican/MAGA circles following MTG’s leaving office. I’ll link it here for those who want to continue that sidetrack beyond MTG’s influence. Hint hint. (And thank you for doing so **Odesio** )

Two years from now, as I’m sitting in an ICE detention facility awaiting deportation to Sweden, I might look back at this, laughing at how foolish I was to think MAGA was nearing its end. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s decision to walk away from the House is said to herald many such resignations in the coming weeks because Republican politicians are fed up.

She’s fully breaking up with the GOP on the way out.

I was raised in the south so I know the southern drawl is maybe something you have to be raised with for it not to make you get goose bumps, but her voice as a podcaster? It’s making my skin crawl just to think about.

MTG only cared about misogyny when she was at the business end of it. I’m happy she’s leaving. She can go crawl back under whatever rock she crawled out from.

Apparently, MTG was on _60 Minutes_. Here’s what Mr. Potato Head had to say:
> _“The only reason Marjorie “Traitor” Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!). Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD - She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple!”_
> _“Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person.”_
> _“That was proven last night when washed up, Trump hating, 60 Minutes “correspondent,” Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by [Russia](https://www.comicsands.com/tag/russia), not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements.”_
> _“My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME!”_
> _“Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE! Oh well, far worse things can happen. P.S. I hereby demand a complete and total APOLOGY, though far too late to be meaningful, from Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes for her incorrect and Libelous statements about Hunter’s Laptop!!!”_

Beat me to it - I was about to ask if he was referring to this guy:

I didn’t realize he was so politically active, but he seems right on about MTG. ETA: I only read the first Potato Head quote when I said that, haha

When Trump was little, Mary Trump’s dad dumped a bowl of mashed potatoes over Donnie’s head, because (Surprise!) Donnie was being a brat.

People keep coming up with nicknames and are trying to make it a thing, like we are in elementary school recess all over again.
Also, gotta love the blatant misogyny here:

That is his level. And the mashed potato incident _really_ got under his skin. It’s not about mocking him with nicknames as a source of amusement. It’s about pissing him off.

Oooooh. Yeah, I’d never have guessed.
Can we stom besmirching the good name of wonderful things like Cheetos, gibbons, or Mr Potato Head with comparisons to Trump? None of them deserve this - especially the poor gibbons! Look at the widdle guys!

I have it on good authority that the gibbon on the left worked for Matt Gaetz’ campaign.
