Once his most rabid fan, now his fiercest critic. Trump’s public breakup with Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t just drama, but the death rattle of a movement held together by fear, fame, and sociopathy
This was great! Really dissected the whole composition of MAGA - it's members, followers and purposes. All of which are based on corruption, evil, power and ego. A very sick lot for sure. I have never had any use for her - detest her and she'll never change how I feel about her. She's already proven who she is. Now she's just trying to save her own political ass with her constituents. She knows that dumbo trumpo is losing his control and power. She doesn't want to go down with him. Nothing more to say about Satan, you covered that well!!!
My sentiments exactly! But Cliff Schecter's unique gift for written word is a savoir-faire only a genius has. I'm out of words to say how Cliff Schecter excels in describing it all masterfully!
Wow, thanks for the kind words, Vel. I dunno about genius, perhaps derangement? :). Seriously this is so kind of you, I really appreciate it--and really appreciate your support reading my pieces!
You all are being way too nice with the comments. Seriously, I couldn't tell you how much it means to me that I can write things that educate and entertain you guys. That alone makes me happy :)
Nice job of surveying the lay of the land in MAGAville today, Cliff. I don't trust MTG, but I do appreciate much of what she's saying now. Let's hope it continues, and let's hope that she brings along other MAGAs with her. It will send a powerful message if she demonstrates that she has redirected a significant portion of the base. Of course it will also be problematic because her followers are likely to be nut cases. But I think our chances of effectively dealing with her faction are much higher than dealing with an intact MAGA machine.
Cliff, your depictions of the current state of MAGA were superlative. You summed it up perfectly. "Lord of the Flies". I too have no use for MTG. She is and always will be her own best drum beater. she's a conniver. And I for one, would not even drink her coffee. Great column, thanks.
How about making a public demand for the Supreme Court to honor oaths made to the Constitution? A number of them perjured themselves in their congressional hearings, and now all they do is kowtow to Trump. They should be called out for their betrayal of this country!

You’re always welcome!!
Your eloquence in writing is an art to cherish.
Absolutely, masterful! This is one of his best works, I think. He expressed everything we think and feel perfectly.
Yes!
Wow. thank you Susan. I so appreciate your comment that I'm now out of words to tell you how much :). You're fabulous, and your support means a lot
Could not agree more. He is a gifted guy and we are the better for it.

Thanks so much, Susan! That's what I was trying to do. Use their fight as a window into the whole lousy, lunatic-fringe movement. Thanks for reading!
You've got to love how the tides turn at any given moment. We've got to take the moment NOW!
Usher out crap, flush it if you can, and bring in the best to make the US a better place. We can and we shall, never let Democracy die
P.S. Fuck Trump.
With extreme prejudice.
Yes!
Notice always the women who have the balls....

Thank you Evelyn, yeah I won't trust MTG, but if it helps us get out of this nightmare, I can support what she's doing 100%
Exactly!!!

Again, thank you Tim. You're a good ego booster for me :)
"MAGA was never a philosophy. It was a personality disorder with a flag."
Best description ever!
Thank you!!

Splendidly written every word, every sentence, every paragraph, Cliff Schecter is indeed the master of presenting the reality art!
Wow, thanks again, Vel. As I said to Tim, you guys sure are an ego boost :)
Here's her biggest asset. She knows how to pick which hill to die on. She is astute politically, regardkessof her crudeness.
Time for reconciliation. As Stan Freberg once parodied “take an Indian to lunch today, show him he’s just one of the bunch today. “
