The relentlessly opportunistic Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn't had a change of heart, much less politics. She is just literate enough to read the writing on the wall.

The NYT appears to not understand, or is in abject denial, that he doesn't intend to ever step down
I've thought this since the day Cadet Bonespurs was re-elected. It's why they're so brazen about their criminality: they presume they'll be in power forever and, if they're not, they'll burn it all down on their way out the door. Yet another parallel to the Nazis.
