"Too late. You blew it. It's going to be very difficult for you to recover from this. You betrayed your base," raged X user Mark Watson who then began promoting Trump for speaker.

So random voters.

You say that like all the magas aren’t going to groupthink themselves into some kind of frenzy and boycott something.

Can't boycott something they don't subscribe to in the first place

Can’t boycott something you can’t do.

Like how I can’t boycott flying on private jets.

What does Ja Rule Mark Watson think of all this?

Not necessarily even voters. A bunch of the Jan 6th loonies didn't even vote before throwing a hissy fit over the results. Some of the loudest ones are too busy screaming to make it to the polls.

Plenty of others do vote, though, so you should too.

You betrayed your base

There are degrees of lunacy, you see.

All serious…what is the likelihood someone puts up trump for speaker and basically sets up a loyalty test? Remember…no one in the GOP house wants the title

Since the constitution doesn’t specify the speaker needs to be a house member or any member of government, Technically he could be nominated and this is a way for him to be an unelected member in the federal government only 3 positions away from the presidency. In this position, all he would need to do is get Biden and Harris removed through impeachment or (knowing him) any means necessary and he’s unelected president.

EDIT: yep two members of the house have publicly said they want trump for speaker. So what’s the likelihood that this will happen?

I believe one of his boot lickers entered his name for each of the 15 votes it took McCarthy to win previously. MTG was already saying she was going to do it again.

For fucks sake... stop citing X/Twitter users as if they represent the majority of US citizens. I can't stand this shit.

Read the article. They cite at least three users. This is a small minority of the constituents she has in her legislative district, if they live there at all. It's not like a verified Twitter account means you are a verified resident of that LD.

I read the article. They don’t cite them “as if they represent the majority of US citizens.” Get a grip, seek counseling if it bothers you that much.

Even if she does I say we leave that be. Women grow facial hair and society's stigma around it should be eliminated.

I laughed so hard at this kamikaze I read it out loud to my friends. Love seeing you around.
