In this case, the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.  I don't trust her as far as I can throw her nor do I trust where her supposed lucidity is coming from.  

I'll always remember her labeling everybody as a pedophile or taunting David Hogg.

I guess MTG fucked around and found out........

No sympathy from this corner. MTG carried the water for 47 and the MAGA bullshit. MTG voted for BBB without reading what it contained then bitched about it after it passed the Senate. 

Now she wants folks to think differently of her.

NOPE! Fuck Her!

....ask me how I really feel......

Trump may have started MAGA but he isn't really a true believer, as near as I can tell. He is concerned about wealth, respect and fame and tends to believe whatever the last person told him as long as they are at least polite to him, just look at how well his meeting with Zohran Mamdani went. He doesn't have any political ideology, he only cares about Trump.

MTG, on the other hand, is a true believer in MAGA (America first, anti-abortion, Christian Nationalism, no foreign aid, etc.). She voted with Trump and her party the vast majority of the time, only veering away and speaking out against her party when they strayed from what the MAGA line is supposed to be, like the Epstein files. While I disagree with almost everything she said during her time in office, her cardinal sin was being a true believer when her leader wasn't so he and his cult turned on her.

All that said, I think she is an idiot and doesn't get any sympathy from me.

She's serving long enough to get the pension and free lifetime healthcare. Two things that should not exist.

Politics should not be a full time job, and the free health care should go away no more than four years after they are out of office.

Them getting free heathcare for life is probably one of the reasons they don"t care about fixing our health care system.

Their healthcare isn't as 'free' as many make it out to be. They still pay premiums through a healthcare exchange (partial paid by the employer). The pension doesn't kick in for another decade or so for her at about $8,700 a year (currently, assuming she doesn't get back into another Federal office).

Conversely, if politicians didn't get good salaries and benefits, they would then, as of their first day in office, strive to make deals and forge special bonds with various lobbyists, so that they could ensure that, upon their (often very early) retirement, they would receive the very best of care.
