On 7/21/23 StandUpForTruth tweeted: Ann Coulter has been right about Trump in the past. I’d love to hear what he needs to do, in her opinion to help us take America back.
On 2/3/24 AnnCoulter replied: Maybe he could die?
Im not a Trump fan by any means, but she jumped the shark.
Ann, go throw up and check yourself on the scale.
How many got banned because the voiced something against W especially.
Cassandra syndrome?
She thought she was warning us and was ignored?

We’re much wiser now, largely because Trump’s first term, and the reaction to it by many entrenched interests, has opened our eyes to reality. While the William F. Buckley-style debating society conservatism that Ann Coulter pines for is inarguably superior to any form of Leftism in concept, the reality is that it never occurs nearly as cleanly in practice as envisioned by the theoreticians.
For example, the conservative chattering class never envisioned that “free trade” would result in America’s manufacturing might being picked clean by international bad actors, such as China, or that wealthy American big business owners would place their own selfish interests above the welfare of the nation at large by backing a never-ending invasion of America by illegal third-world peasants and criminals. Or worse, maybe the Buckleys of the world DID know that such things would occur and simply didn’t care.
They also demonized “populism” and actually championed a form of intellectual elitism that in hindsight was not much different than today’s Leftist intellectual elitism. The only difference seems to be which side’s intellectual elites would rule over the “deplorable” masses they so despised.
Uninformed populism of the “low-information voter” variety can, of course, be a bad thing, but the form of populism that drives the MAGA movement is highly-informed and very wisely skeptical of government and big-business elites, ALL of whom today are fully-invested in degenerate anti-American “wokeness” and flatly evil globalism. Trump saw this populist frustration building steam, saw that it largely aligned with his own long-held positions on illegal immigration, FAIR trade vs. “free” trade, and placing America’s interests FIRST, above all else, and very perceptively built his campaign around the interests of the PEOPLE, and not the globalist elites, under the banner of Make(ing) America Great Again.
Snobby elites, like Ann Counter, HATE Trump for this because it knocks them off their pedestals, turns a deaf ear to their worthless advice, and elevates the average man and woman they so detest above them. There is nothing snobbish East Coast elitists hate more than being ignored, regardless of which party they inhabit.
He didn't 'hit on' her?
“Hard to believe how popular she was here in the past.”
No, it isn’t. She rooted for Trump then and she was right on immigration.
Tucker Carlson, I believe, mentioned that Jarod Kushner took it upon himself to ban her from the White House. She never got over that. She thinks she installed Trump.
I know how you feel.
Ann is still so crude and so desperate for attention.
Hey, wait a minute, this old, conservative woman is not a shrew.
She”s a rotten piece of human debris.
“But then again, most of us voted for H & W 4 times.”
...and Romney and McCain.

Mea culpa!
When I attended CPAC in 2008, she was the hottest ticket, and she packed the auditorium. That wasn't so long ago, but it now seems to be a galaxy far, far away.
I promise not to become a shrew.
I don’t repent for voting for HW or Romney or McCain. The alternatives were so much worse. I am always voting for the “least evil.” Such is life. I wish they had won.
Ugh.
It is Ann herself who is long after her expiration date.
I always thought Ann was John Kerry in drag.
