I hope this thought can become a prediction: Rep Three Name / Three Toes will soon become . . . .

. . . . irrelevant. As a leader in the Nutter Caucus she has accomplished exactly nothing. As a supporter of Motherfucker, she got shouted out of NYC. For her support of Kid Leaker she is getting, at best, silence from her peers and disdain, to put it mildly, from the larger body politic.

The fact is she has nothing to offer except outrageous behavior that too often comes across as entertainment, not serious politics.

Randy Rainbow has more crews than she does. For a politician with sights on higher office, that won't cut it.

You're correct. I agree. But the issue is relevance. Stinky The Clown Apr 2023 #6

… becoming more rabidly loyal to her. The “kinda crazy” ones are being weeded out by the terminally psychotic.

I don't see her becoming irrelevant as long as there is a corporate media. Their currency is outragious behavior from public officials. They are addicted to it.

The media will not let her or tfg or jordan or any other nutjob wacko become irrelevant. They will just keep sticking cameras in their pie holes and writing script.

AI's will see to it. Producers are feeding viewership data and content into ai programs and asking what they should produce next. The ai will point them straight to the crazies because they get the most reaction.

Her district is a lock. I’ve been there on a few occasions. Unless she gets primaried she’s not going away. Yes the media loves her.

that she's a female who's tied her fortunes to a very misogynistic (by definition!) white nationalist male movement. All the far-right factions she could move to are antagonistic at gut level to women's empowerment.

The house leadership needs her on their side now, but my guess is they'll grab the soonest opportunity to exile her as a severe embarrassment. MT Greene makes Phyllis Schlafly (whom their predecessors thanked for her great services to their cause by kicking her to the boonies) look like the epitome of southern womanhood in comparison.
