It just shows that it is all performative on the right. they actually know what is good for this country, they are just choosing to destroy it
I believe that it was the Senate that she want to run for and couldn't get Trump's support. As a result, she has gone rogue.
However, I think that there are a couple of other reasons. MTG has her finger in the wind more than most members of Congress. She has a knack for knowing what is popular with the grassroots. She is also a fundraising phenomenon. She is able raise loads of money from small donors. As a result, she can ignore the party's big donors and super pacs who often call the shots.
She is still terrible on plenty of issues so let's not get carried away with praise, however.

Both major parties are reviled by a majority of Americans. Party registration for both parties is declining rapidly. Meanwhile, those declaring Independent is rising rapidly. MTG and AOC don't play by the rules. They both are appealing for a lot of people, depending on disposition. And both offer a F U to the RNC and the DNC and the establishment. There's a lot of space for both of them in today's climate.
Yessssss join us! No more giant douchebags vs turd sandwiches

Also, she's not part of the Israel lobby and wants to defund Israel since Israelis receive free healthcare and free college while receiving $30-100 billion annually from American taxpayers.
She can only do this because she's no longer beholden to AIPAC like almost every other politician.
The same goes for Epstein files obviously given he's clearly a foreign/Israeli asset. Same thing applies to Massie.

I was hoping that her changing rhetoric was the beginning of a turn towards Trump by MAGA faithful. Am I being prematurely hopeful?
