    Its all just part of the act. She’s running the same “They’ve gone Woke!” playbook on the GOP that the GOP aims at everyone else. She’s not any more self aware than any of the other members of her party. She just knows this is a thing you can say to get attention in a field of candidates all competing to be the Most Based Republican.

    As soon as she’s in a position to do more than complain, there’s going to be a younger, blonder, tanner MGT complaining that she’s not hard core enough.

      yeah, though considering it sows division, which is actually practically helpful in this scenario. I think it’s probably going to be more productive than one thinks.

        It’s a ratchet, turning everything always and forever into a more extreme right-wing policy. And the tighter the ratchet gets, the more pressure and pain the rest of us feel.
