Say what you will about us on the Right, but we are willing to call out or own when they start embarrassing themselves or misrepresenting the rest of us. We keep blowhards like Majorie Taylor-Greene at arm's length. We've long since tired of hearing Hannity turn every other conversation into a banal trumpeting of his martial arts skills. The door hit George Santos on the way out.
But aside from a few noble voices, the Left refuses to do any such thing within its own camp.
My gut feeling is that your traditional liberal (the sophomoric yard signs and the Tesla, yes, but also the secure corporate job in the quiet, bourgeois neighborhood) feels uneasy with the crazed mobs spilling into the streets every time they don't get their way. That sort of thing used to happen five neighborhoods away. Then four neighborhoods away. Then three neighborhoods away.
And that sort of unhinged rioting used to happen once in a generation. Then once every few years. Then once every few weeks.
Yet the suburban traditional liberal continues to vote Democrat because of abortion. Or some nonsense about the rich paying their "fair share." Or climate change. Or any number of manufactured grievances designed not so much to solve a tangible problem than to make a certain class of educated voters feel righteous about themselves.

Well bless your heart.
Not me, I embrace her. She’s a fighter, something that is sorely lacking in the Republican Party.

The rest of the Republican Party are treacherous backstabbers and we can thank them for the current disaster.
For those that don’t understand Southern, that blessing is rather negative 😁
I was trying to come up with a suitable comment on that, and you nailed it.
MTG had a problem stating faithful to her husband. She was fornicating with her gym bros.
That being said I support her until someone more conservative comes along.

You need more recovery Christopher. But thank you for your service.
It can be positive, but is used in that tone perhaps 10% of the time. Negative, 90% of the time, as here.
Donald Trump is on his third wife. He has three baby mamas.
You are absolutely correct.
if it’s in the media...well, you know...meh.
The phrase “Judge not lest ye be judged” is a well-known biblical saying attributed to Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Matthew (7:1).
Every one of the single-issue interests under the umbrella of progressivism has a point at which it conflicts with others in that group.
But every single-issue interest in conservatism is congruent and consistent with all others in the group.
Ditto, she may not be perfect but who is?
She is a fighter, like DJT.
Moral behavior should always be taken into account to be in position of leadership. I applied the same standard to Bill Clinton.
The moral standard is HIGHER for people in leadership. They should be exemplary people at all times, above reproach.
I am not running for nor hold office keep in mind.
Take THAT, Pelosi!
Sheesh, Republicans are expected to be as sinless as Jesus and yet where is the criticism of John Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and a whole host of other morally compromised democrats?
MTG is hardly even a "radical." I still would take 150 of her to replace every spineless goober RINO in Congress.
Note that there are no "principled Democrats" - because they want to win.
