        🙄

        Thanks for giving MTG and myself reasons for not trying to improve, ever, I guess. 🤷

          @Maeve I’m unsure what you’re looking for. As Ms Greene notes, MAGA (at least a notable subset) did buy into the policy plan of non-interference internationally as part of “America First”. Trump, himself, made much of this on the campaign trail. It was also part of his justification for backing away from NATO, for waffling over assistance to Ukraine, and for withdrawing aid from the world.
          Of course he’s also threatened annexation of Canada, Greenland, and Panama. And now he’s explicitly waged war on Venezuela and essentially toppled the government there. The most interventionist thing that he could do.
          So, Ms Greene is absolutely correct in her assessment. And she, unlike Trump, has been consistent in her policy position. So, kudos to her for asserting that. It is refreshing to see integrity and courage in one who was in Trump’s circle. After all, she didn’t “turn on Trump”; Trump betrayed her - and those that believed him likewise. Now it appears to have cost her. As it has so many who thought they could work in his petty world.
          So, I can applaud her courage in taking her stand and agree (at least partially) in her policy position, but I would not today support her for office (unless maybe if my only other choice was one of Trump’s remaining sycophants). 🤷‍♂️

            This. This is what I sought. I won’t support her for office either; but I appreciate her integrity on this one matter. Thank you.
