GOP rats are slowly but surely abandoning the sinking Trump ship, and we have to ask:
Will "Republican Lifeboats" once again successfully allow the MAGA/Tea Party faithful to escape accountability?
We analyze Marjorie Taylor Greene's masterful deployment of the "Magic Words" to blame "both sides of the aisle," framing her slow-motion exit from the Trump pandemonium bandwagon as an act of high principle. She's the first and possibly best lifeboat builder of the post-Trump era, claiming victimhood to elevate herself into the media's "Serious Women with Powerful Voices."
How does the media's insistence on the "Both Sides Do It" lie enable this political evasion, even when the stakes are life-and-death (see the US Healthcare system)?
Join us as we connect the dots from ancient trauma to modern political evasion, and in the end have a laugh at David Brooks' ludicrous attempt to diagnose—and "Somehow" cure—Christian Nationalism with his own big, dumb, Both Sides Do It meatgrinder.
