    Honestly though how does MTG even have any political standing or platform, if literally anyone else did what she’s done their career would’ve ended a long time ago

      She has political standing because the right wing media finds her constant insane shrieking useful, so they continue to platform her. It draws attention away from things they don’t want you talking about, like income inequality, looming fascism, environmental distraction… basically everything they are working so hard to achieve.

      Any mental effort they can get people to waste responding to her is effort not being put towards making the world a better place for someone other than billionaires.
