  This is obviously a response to MJT being shunned for disavowing Nick Fuentes.
context: Near the start of 45's presidency, the right was thrilled to start putting together their own 'squad' of youthful radicals. 
  Gaetz, Boebert, MTG, Kari Lake, Hawley, and now Santos I guess? 
  If you're a conservative and you're excited for your party, then what the hell is wrong with you. >
  
  Right? And I was told that it was all the boomers fault. 🙄 Don't forget Madison Cawthorne, who was too stupid for the GOP. >
  
  It is the boomers' fault in terms of voters and donors. But there is a small minority of young(er) people who will sell their soul to the right-wing for money and power. They are all essentially paid actors, none of them believe the nonsense they spout. >
  
  
  It is the boomers’ fault in terms of voters 
  
  You've got that right. 
  75% of Texas voters under age 30 skipped the midterm elections. But why?
  
  Young voters made up 11 percent of the roughly 8.1 million people who cast a ballot this year. That’s down from 13 percent in 2018 and 16 percent in 2020, according to Ryan’s analysis.
  “75 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds stayed home this year,” Ryan said. “Meanwhile, nearly five times as many voters aged 50 and up voted. … The election was won by older voters.” >
  
  It seems to be the under 30 crowds fault, from this reasoning. >
  
  Or the fact that they have just about the strictest voter controls in the nation.  They mandate 30-day advance voter registration, strict limitations on mail in ballots that are often discarded, conservative-friendly ~~poll tax~~ voter ID (gun licenses work, student IDS do *not*), and more.
  Winning a vote becomes much easier when you self-select your voters. >
  
  Yes, but that doesn't explain why 75% of registered voters under 30 stayed home.
  Easier voting would have upped the pool, but it wouldn't make people go to the polls. >
  
  It's a heck of a lot easier for a boomer retiree who's been registered for years to show up that day with a gun license or mail in (because over 65 can) and vote republican.
  Meanwhile, college students and young professionals who might have voted blue for the first time have to plan out more than 30 days ahead of time in order to get a voter registration, wait at the DMV to purchase a new ID (cause their student ID won't work), and then take time out of their busy new college/professional career to wait around and vote (can't vote by mail because young).  All this in a state where their vote likely won't make a difference anyway.
  It's called voter suppression - making things just difficult enough that people won't put in the effort.  Honestly, I'm surprised even 25% showed up. >
  
  OMG plan out 30 days in advance for my most important civic duty as an American?  This is just excuse-making and it's pathetic. >
  
  It’s quite a bit easier for someone with an established career with time off as a benefit to go and register.  If someone who is living paycheck-to-paycheck has to take time off to go register, they’re probably working hourly and will lose money that can literally be the difference between affording life-saving medicine or having to go without it.
  Why do we have to tell you to care about other people? >
  
  I got suspended from Twitter today for calling Marge a redneck idiot. So much for free speech, Elon. >
  
  But she IS a redneck idiot. Is that even debatable? >
  
  
  she IS a redneck idiot
  
  And back on the market. >
  
  The article explains that empty g wasn't in the House yesterday to vote, so she voted by proxy. She has also introduced a bill to ban voting by proxy. I swear to god everything she does is purposeful to get people angry. >
  
  Or for attention.
  It occurs to me that her defending George Santos may be because he's getting the headlines and she's trying desperately to insert herself into those headlines to turn it so it's about her again. >
  
  Yes that too. I cringe everyday when I open this sub and see her face plastered up and down. Did we not learn this lesson with trump? Posting articles about what she says about this or that makes it seem like her opinions matter. >
  
  We did not learn that lesson. 
  This is how Paris Hilton became a famous face, too. She angered people and they loved to have someone to hate. She gave them that and profited off of it. >
  
  A Paris Hilton led congress would be an upgrade over McCarthy >
  
  Seems MTG is on the losing side of most everything except being reelected to the House by her drooling district. >
  
  fun, actual fact: MTG's district is where Squidbillies takes place >
  
  Came here for the news, got the Squidbillies. Official gator hater right there. >
  
  Yernotthatbad!

  I too believe actions and words are extremely important, but I don’t think a former Democrat who’s actions on the House floor as recent as 2020 that gave her an A from Planned Parenthood, an F from the NRA, and...
  
  Q. What do Tulsi's political positions have to do with George's lies?
  A. Nothing. >
  
  This whole thing is a ploy to boost Tulsi's both-sides cred, to make her seem less like the bought and paid for Republican stooge she is. >
  
  Yep, they're basically synonyms at this point. >
  
  Since MTG is a constant and consistent liar, she doesn't get attacking those that lie!  She has no morals, values or ethics and neither does the GOP. >
  
  This is how they plan to rehab lying George. They had the ‘Democrat’ attack him and now he’s their precious snowflake that must be protected. >
  
  Also makes their "Democrat" look less like the bought-and-paid for, ruby red Republican she actually is (and always has been). >
  
  I don’t hate the infighting >
  
  Republicans in disarray! >

  Marjorie Taylor Georgia Rages At Marjorie Taylor Hawaii For Angertainment Viewers
  Ftfy >
  
  I see Marjorie Taylor found a way to keep the acronym post-divorce. >
  
  Her now ex-husband said he wanted her to drop Greene from her name and he said he was no longer requesting the reasons for the divorce to be kept confidential. Apparently she gets to keep Greene and have the stated reasons for her divorce kept confidential. >
  
  I hope her exhusbands lawsuit goes through, maybe she'll lose some of her power if she's just Marjorie Taylor. >
  
  It apparently already happened. It was reported that she spent Christmas in Costa Rico as a divorcee. 
  I figured, knowing how spiteful she is, she'd drag it out as long as she could to punish him. >
  
  No, the lawsuit is for her to drop the hyphen last name. 
  He doesn't want to be associated with her anymore. >
  
  If Santos lied about all of it and claims to have worked hard for his achievements, what achievements is he even talking about? His election itself? >
  
  He worked hard on those lies. You know his achievements. >
  
  Watching far-righters attack each other is much more entertaining than reality TV shows like The Kardashians. >
  
  Remember the South Park episode where Jimmy and Timmy had a brawl?  It reminds me of that. >
  
  I think so. >
  
  Greene supports known liars. Not shocking. >
  
  She's a Republican, so, yeah. >
