      I’m so confused. Is it because she’s part of the US isolationist wing of the conservative party and doesn’t want to enter another war? I keep forgetting these white supremacists are different from the war hungry neocon white supremacists.

        Yeah, it is hard to recall but there is a reason the conservatives were banking on anti-war party rhetoric (despite Trump himself not being so) there has been a rise in the isolationist wing of the party in recent years that has been somewhat consistent in the, “Get US out of wars globally,” value. I think we will see larger divisions in the Republican party in these values over the coming years until one of the groups inevitably wins out.

        She has been very anti-Israel lately. Likely, just a mix of antisemitism and US isolationism in varying degrees since I refuse to believe she has a fully genuine good take.

        Edit: Honestly, has MTG had a streak of antisemitism in actuality? Or could be one of those cases where bad domestic politics manage to create a bastardized version of decent foreign policy.

            Okay cool, knew there was a reason I pegged her for antisemitism the first time I heard an anti-Israel take from her. I knew she was a conspiracy nut but don’t think I’ve seen that particular argument from her or at least my recollection of it is missing. I wanted to edit though as I don’t like unilaterally pegging someone for an -ism if I can’t recall it at the time.
