(68,933 posts)She grew up in an affluent family in a suburb of Atlanta. She made a calculated choice to move to a deep red district in mountainous northeastern Georgia, where she created a fake down-home persona complete with a fake hillbilly accent to get herself elected to Congress.
That persona has run its course. To be elected senator in a state with two Democratic senators, she has to moderate her positions. That's what she's doing. She's not committing political suicide. She's taking a calculated risk to trade in her rural MAGA persona for a more moderate Republican persona. She's calculating that Trumpism can't help her anymore.
Never forget that MRG started her career chasing after survivors of a mass school shooting, recording herself calling them vile names and bragging about it online.
This is not a good person.
As for your question - it absolutely helps her get elected to statewide office if Democrats start praising her. She needs the votes of Democrats and Independents to win.
Don't help her. Help Ossoff get reelected.
