    So you’re saying that you were a complete asshole on purpose and not because you’re an idiot? Interesting.

      She’s still an asshole. She’s fine with all the other stuff happening just like all the rest of the Republicans.

      People in cages? Killing people on boats? Dismantling the government? Installing a dictator?

      Fine.

      Me paying more for groceries and gas because war?

      THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

        I think she actually fell deep into Pizzagate, maybe due to actual concern about a pedophile ring, heard about the Epstein files, made it her whole thing, and then when Trump buried them so hard it finally actually turned her a little bit. Then she got death threats from Trump supporters for even slightly criticizing him, and that turned her hesitance into full-on rage.

        For better or worse, her whole thing is being some sort of populist crusader against the shadowy cabal of pedophiles. She’s just figured out that Trump is part of that shadowy cabal. It’s still “me taking on the hidden secret conspiracy” as her whole thing.

          Yeah, I suspect that she’s fundamentally a true believer in what she says, and I think that’s why her party finds her hard to work with. She’s headstrong, sincere, bigoted, insane, and pretty gullible. She seems to have grown disillusioned once she realized a lot of politicians on her side aren’t like her.
