That's because the GOP electoral coalition is overwhelmingly white and Christian, and that's who counts as real Americans. Only Democrats need to extend olive branches, because only Republican voters deserve them.
when trump won nobody was like "he needs to extend an olive branch" and "he needs to move slow to not alienate people who didn't vote for him" but you're already seeing it with zohran

This is my second Watergate-a-day post today, so we might have to change the name.
DHS reportedly fast-tracked a contract worth almost $1 billion to a company led by a donor to a pro-Trump nonprofit group where one of the officials overseeing the deal previously worked.
That raises serious ethics concerns.

The Trump administration says it has frozen all childcare payments to Minnesota in the aftermath of allegations of fraud by some in the Somali community.
Important: allegations along these lines have existed for years, which has resulted in prosecutions starting with the Biden DOJ.

you do not and should not hand it to MTG under any circumstances
it is useful for us, politically, that she's broken with Trump - because "Rs in Disarray" is a good narrative
but she herself is still a vicious antisemite and transphobe and nobody progressive should lose sight of that

Should also add that right before she quit, Marjorie Taylor Greene passed a bill through the House to ban gender-affirming care for minors. She is not a moderate. She is still super right wing. She just felt Trump no longer could accomplish her goals.
“Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong.” Read the inside story of how Marjorie Taylor Greene went from zealous Trump cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic: nyti.ms/3Lbzi88
