…
And how, precisely, being armed, MTG, would you have won?
By coercing people to do what you wanted at the point of a gun? That’s a coup.
By shooting and killing people in your way? That results in something between life inside and judicial execution.
You are all mouth and no brain. A disgusting human being not fit to breathe the same air as the majority of your fellow citizens.
TBH… I’m having nightmares by mistaking MTG as ABBA’s Agnetha Fältskog… And if you think it is her that sings The Winner Takes it All, is even worse!
She needs to be asked questions about this, including how many cops and members of Congress she would be willing to kill.
I’m sure the House Republicans will respond appropriately to these insurrectionist commens in 2023, by handing her some nice committee assignments.
… they did win, for a few hours
What they thought they could accomplish other than delaying the inevitable wasn’t clear at all
They could have actually hanged Mike Pence, but that still wouldn’t make Trump president
The certified election results and the public votes of the Electoral College were already in the historical record
She’s trying to distract from that she and at least half the people in the room were involved.
I mean, Roger Stone…?
This is the Q crowd. They’re all a little fuzzy on the details, but when JFK Jr took the podium, he would explain it to everybody.
… after they captured Nancy Pelosi as a hostage?
Do you think she was hired to allay suspicion from Bannon?
Midterm voters: “We don’t like crazies. We didn’t like the insurrection. We don’t like election denialists. We don’t like Trump. We actually do like democracy.”
Republicans: “If we get louder, you’ll love what we love.”
I posted this in a different thread, but this was where she gave this speech…
“We would have won. Not to mention, it would’ve been armed.”
That quote gives her too much credit. An accurate transcription would be “We would of won. Not to mention, it would of been armed.”
Nostalgic for the days when Young Republicans and Hitler Youth were not quite so tight knit.
That period between 8 December, 1941 and 16 June, 2015.
As frightening as the SPLC report is, it becomes even more so when one understands what the NYYRC is. Seeing the speakers’ list, one might assume that it is some recently-formed gathering of hatemongering rubes and swivel-eyed lunatics. It is not.
This is an establishment organisation founded over a century ago that has the blessing of the duopoly party of the wealthy and powerful. The membership is made up of people (under age 40, mind you) who have the financial, social, and academic capital to live in NYC.
So what you see here is the old phenomenon of comfortable economic elites creating alliances with violent right-wing populists.
Also interesting to see that Newsweek has now gone full fash.
She’d have been fragged.
Same place, or is the Upper East Side littered with Republican clubs?

“Democracy means that sometimes you have to force people to make the right choice at gunpoint.”
Hmm, when I put it that way, it occurs to me that perhaps she isn’t quite so out of step with core US values as I might have thought.
Can we just skip to the part where she is convicted for treason?
