Translation: MAGAts who helped create and enable this entire shit show but who have lost their grift, attempt to reposition themselves for a return to some kind of power later on.

They’re combining their powers to start a whole new grift. Make no mistake, they haven’t changed, they’re just the first rats jumping a sinking ship. Alex Jones has already turned on him, too, and is calling for his impeachment, lol
I bet Joe Rogan will be next

Joe Rogan always seems like someone just startled awake from a nap. But even he is like "huh, like what is up with this war in Iran, bro?"

That’s a very generous assessment, but I assure you, he’s just a fucking idiot.

It's a shame, he's probably like this from tbi's from when he was young he doesn't have the capacity to differentiate between fact and fiction a h ore but he has the curiosity of a scientist

Did you ever see him on the show NewsRadio? He didn’t really seem all that different from how he is today.
I’d like to pity him, but I just don’t have it in me
aramis87@fedia.io · 4 pts · 1d
Rogan's already made some moves in that direction - nothing firm, but enough to pivot to (or away from) if he decides to.
FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world · 59 pts · 1d
It's a charade, they'll endorse him and vote for him again. This is all about optics and they've been given permission to do this. They'll ensnare a bunch of "reasonable" Republicans that are unhappy with trump and tease them with a few Romney types, then drop the charade and say "we know it sucks but we need to circle the wagons around Trump to defeat SoCiAlIsM"
It's just corralling people back into the right pasture

yeah but now they can say "Trump? I was always against Trump" when they're peddling the next conservative fascist; just like they did about Nixon, and W. Bush... It's a very effective strategy ^^

Don’t forgot MTG voted against Biden’s Build Back Better which included free community college, student loan debt relief and universal Pre-K.
That lady doesn’t give a shit about us. She just mad Trump wouldn’t (understandably) endorse her for Georgia Senate, seeing as she’d most likely lose to Ossoff. That and the Epstein files which I believe she does care about.

Village idiots, or those touched by gods, have always had the capacity of always being able to speak truth to power much like the jester to the king.
These two here are not the village idiots. They are just what we all are: late to the Stop American Nazis party.

The Daily Beast is nothing but clickbait articles aimed at people who can't wait for Trump to go away. Take everything their titles suggest with a huge grain of salt.

He did not betray anyone. He helps his people just fine. You were a tool and everyone else knew. You stopped being useful and were sold off.
Can we let these people fade into obscurity now

They were only relevant during the rise and peak, now they're trying to find ways to stay relevant now that they're no longer part of that group
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1d
Yep.
Just like Meghan McCain, and every other Republican slowly starting to speak out against trump (at least the ones that arent on their final terms as elected officials).
Its not about a sudden moment of clarity and integrity.
its not about trump having gone to far for the moral fabric of america.
Its 100% about trying to distance themselves from the anchor that trump has become, in effort to carve out a potential future in a post trump environment.

Just like all the ones who tried to jump on the money train after Jan6th, but slowly started leaning back in that direction a year later when their books didn't sell

🤣 People in this thread believing anything these scheisters are saying.
Their grift isn't grifting as hard as it used to, so they are switching to a slightly different grift.
None of them have changed their racist views.
None of them have apologized for fully backing Trump and his lies.
None of them should ever be allowed near power ever again.
They did not change, they did not learn, they are the same pieces of shit they've always been.

I don't think anyone in this thread is buying into their nonsense.
grue@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1d
Not sure if you misspelled "shysters" or if it was clever wordplay with "Scheiße".
madcaesar@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1d
A shyster is a dishonest person who uses tricks and fake methods, especially a lawyer, politician, or business worker.
The German word Scheiße (also spelled Scheisse) means "shit" or "crap". It functions as a vulgar noun, a common exclamation of anger or frustration, or an intensifier.
These fuckers are dishonest pieces of shit! Thus scheisters 😁

both of you go fuck yourselves. anyone who buys their new grift can go fuck themselves as well.
MagicShel@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 1d
They were always going to bail as he gets closer to being out of power. They see the writing on the wall for midterms and are just trying to play ahead of the pack. No one is capable of taking the reins of MAGA. Bailing was always the only option. They just all expected the waning months of Trump's rule to come much later.
IAmYouButYouDontKnowYet@reddthat.com · 5 pts · 1d
They don't get the big picture.
Trump is a muppet and the fall guy for a sinister social plan to bring on a modern new order of life.
It's sad but I think the real entity controlling the path of America and betraying America is the CIA. And I think that people are psychologically in shock and denying that this might be the truth. Because accepting it means we don't really have a home anymore. But NOT accepting it NOW means we will definitely lose what America is and was to a new surveillance and policing state, which is already in our view and we can see happening and growing. They throw basic social dramas around to distract us as they build and grow the real plans.
Everyone's looking for a savior and that's kind of bad. We can only save ourselves... And seeking a savior is a waste of time and resources. I don't think any change will come by use of the systems we current employ for structure and order. We can't vote truth into existence, we each individually need to understand the deeper meaning of truth and natural law and have faith in us and not the tool they used to lead us down this path.
I think "spiritual" change is needed, but we know industrialized religion is basically a key part of what got trump elected and is one of the main main marketing demographics to lead.
I don't really have faith in humanity. They already raped the species and have controlled us like cattle for centuries.
The problem is darker and deeper than left right and center. That's all distraction, and division, used as a tool to control the path in whatever direction "they" want. Whatever flavor leads Americas political system will still bring us to the same ending.
Wake up. Feel the surrealness, get past the denial, don't be led by emotions that come on - meaning don't be reactionary - ...think smart, live smart, stop living for their lifestyle and culture that makes you easy cattle to control, it's designed that way. It's like a scaled up version of a pimp offering money and drugs to a hooker, it's control and psychological abuse. The game of the streets is really no different than the game of the nations, it's just scaled up.
This means sacrifice of the privileges they use to keep us their cattle. The deals they offer us are not deals, and the freedoms are not genuine freedoms. We have "God", or the universe, in us to fuel our lives. Don't let them distract you from that natural fuel and the natural universal life path that is your right as a human being.
"They will lead you down a path that is not your path..." -John Stockwell 1980s CIA whistleblower.

Tucker is smart and knows which way the winds will blow soon. Marge is less smart but at least seems to have political advisors who are.
KelvarCherry@piefed.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 22h
I've always read MTG as being 100% genuine. I believe she believes everything she says; and I believe she believes she is fighting all the evil. Much as Trump is the embodiment of the USAmerican business world; MTG is the embodiment of the average USAmerican citizen. She is misinformed, arrogant, easily misled by propaganda, and swayed by emotionally-charged narratives (Jewish Space Lasers causing fires; staged school shootings; trans panic)
Some say MTG doesn't belong in Congress. I disagree. As a representative, she is perhaps the greatest representation of the USAmerican people.

Anywho, this movement of right wing nutbags who are now against Trump and want to stop him so they can get back to doing EXACTLY what got Trump elected sure is neat, isn't it? It sure is cool to see them as top commenters over on the very legit BlueSky.
