Trump has won the war against his most loyal supporter

As we reported on 16 November, Donald Trump has gone to war with former MAGA loyalist Marjorie Taylor-Greene. This war proved to be short-lived, however, with Greene now set to resign:

Trump may have won the battle, but it’s difficult to win a war when the people you’re fighting are your own loyalists.

Trump—’4D Chess’

While Greene has been at odds with Trump for some time, the big divide has been the president’s handling of the Epstein files. If it wasn’t for Greene and other Republicans like Thomas Massie, congress wouldn’t have had the numbers needed to push for a release:

I’m sad to see one of my best friends Marjorie Taylor Greene leave Congress.

She was one of the brave few who fought with me to release the Epstein files.

The threats against us have been insane.

In her resignation, Greene made it clear she’s still a MAGA-style politician even if she’s no longer a Trump supporter:

I ran for Congress in 2020 and have fought every single day believing that “Make America Great Again” meant America first. I have one of the most conservative voting records in Congress defending the First Amendment, Second Amendment, unborn babies because I believe God creates life at conception, and I love to fight for the little guy.

Strong, safe borders, I have fought hard for that. I fought against COVID tyrannical insanity and mandated mass vaccinations.

She also raised concerns which are shared by voters on the right and left (minus the ‘foreign leaders’ part):

If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.

There is no “plan to save the world” or insane 4D chess game being played.

Whether or not you think Greene is sincere in her opposition to war and private monopolies, she clearly understands that many right-wing voters have these opinions. This situation means there’s a tremendous opportunity in America for a populist leader to stop the forever wars and to diminish the power of oligarchs like Elon Musk and Larry Ellison. The question is whether this will be done by a left-wing populist who introduces universal healthcare or a right-wing populist who pursues mass deportations.

As you’d expect, Trump responded to Greene’s resignation in a very Trump-like fashion:

Another point people have made is the following:

Going but not forgetting

While Greene is set to leave Congress, the right-wing civil war looks set to rage on. Greene is one of many on the right to have turned against America’s unlimited support for Israel’s genocide. Greene was never the most useful ally in that fight, however, as she’s also the woman who blamed Hawaiian wildfires on ‘Jewish space lasers’:

Order my new book “MTG”! I talk January 6, I give inside stories about the Swamp you won’t hear anywhere else, and yes, I talk about those Jewish Space Lasers.

Those who are of a similar mind to Greene have been branding their ideology ‘America First’ as opposed to ‘Make America Great Again’, and this is how some of them responded to Greene going:

This is how Randy Fine responded to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation.

I cannot stress this enough.

He’s talking about Thomas Massie.

And the reason he’s calling him an antisemite is because Massie said we shouldn’t bomb Iran or continue to give Israel billions per year.

See how that works? https://t.co/PZuRLbs6tl

Marjorie Greene was forced out of Congress by Donald Trump for criticizing Israel and voting to release the Epstein Files.

In other words, Trump destroyed his biggest loyalist for putting America First.

This is why I didn’t vote. MAGA is dead.

It’s important to understand that being on opposing sides to another group does not mean your opinions will always be the total opposite of one another. Over the past decade, many right-wing Americans have been anti-war; they’re also increasingly anti-corporate and anti-Israel. While leaders like Trump have tried to speak to these concerns where they can, they’ve also done nothing to tackle them, which is why the American right is splitting down the middle.

There are too many actual differences between the left and right to form a coalition, but that doesn’t mean the two sides can’t push for a consensus where agreement exists. In other words, when the 2028 presidential election rolls around, voters in both parties may be able to bully their politicians into opposing war, genocide, and oligarchy. How far they’ll get with that remains to be seen, but clearly we’re at a point where things need to change.

In the meantime, we welcome Greene back to the job market she helped create:

Consumer sentiment among young people (18–34) is near an all-time low—worse than during the pandemic, the Great Recession, and even stagflation.

That’s how bad the job market and inflation are under Trump. pic.twitter.com/FXPIZeXeeu
