blave@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Torches Trump Tariffs and Corruption: ‘It Shouldn’t Be About Helping Your Crypto Donors’6·5 days agoMaybe, but I don’t think she is either intelligent enough or disciplined enough to make such a Machiavellian long-term plan. She seems driven by immediate self interests.
blave@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Marjorie Taylor Greene Torches Trump Tariffs and Corruption: ‘It Shouldn’t Be About Helping Your Crypto Donors’6·5 days agoI’m old enough to know that, when your enemy suddenly seems to be on your side, it is extraordinarily rarely out of any sense of altruism. It is almost always motivated by some hidden (or oblique) self interest.
Now, as others have said here, I acknowledge that it’s completely possible that Marjorie Taylor Greene has performed enough self in analytical calculus that she no longer believes it is worth pursuing Donald Trump’s agenda when it conflicts with her own. However, like the other comments here, I don’t believe it is for any other reason than complete and utter self interest. I’m still not convinced that she is capable of feeling empathy for other people.
On the other hand, I would like nothing more than to be proven wrong
