Michelle Bachmann pioneered the GOP’s attention-economy politics that MAGA later perfected: conspiracist riffs, ❝anti-American❞ smears, and headline-hunting outrage. She converted media heat into intra-party leverage, pressuring leadership and even landing on the Intelligence Committee despite scant qualifications. A brief 2012 surge fizzled, and she exited in 2014 amid headwinds — but her style became the party’s centre of gravity. Post-Congress, she kept the firebrand posture from an evangelical perch at Regent University, courting backlash with extreme Gaza remarks before partly walking them back, then celebrating the war as ❝miracles.❞ The paradox: having helped build a more populist, pugnacious GOP, she’s now peripheral to it — a precursor whose act became the template, making her redundant. ❝Number one: We are taxed enough already. Number two: Government should not spend more money than what it takes in. And number three: Government should live under the Constitution.❞ Michele Bachmann, The Bulwark, Tue. 12-Aug-2025 ❝I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out, are they pro-America or anti-America?❞ Michele Bachmann, Ibid ❝[Bachmann] made a name for herself as a lunatic.❞ John Boehner, The Bulwark, Tue. 12-Aug-2025 ❝I wasn’t the one with the power, she was saying. I just thought I was. She had the power now.❞ John Boehner, Ibid ❝It’s time that Gaza ends.❞ Michele Bachmann, The Bulwark, Tue. 12-Aug-2025 ❝In the midst of all of this devastation, we’ve seen one miracle after another.❞ Michele Bachmann, Ibid

👀 {𝗮𝙅𝙎𝘿}: Bachmann pioneered MAGA’s attention-economy politics — conspiracies, ❝anti-American❞ smears, outrage as leverage. She muscled for power, then got outflanked by her imitators. The prototype is redundant now that the clones run the party. #WhereIsSheNow

America today.

Not my country. More like the Islamic Republic of Iran from where this exile, refugee family came.
#Kidnapping.
#WhereIsSheNow? Which prison corporation is being paid to abuse her in detention?
Feds are committing crimes in plain sight yet not a single local or state LE stops them.

#WhereIsSheNow ?!

Yall remember that one black girl who scammed Maga on twitter..... what happened to her? Did she have to repay those ppl? #research #documentary #whathappened #whereisshenow

Rev Richard Coles very entertaining at #HousingTech2019 telling the story of how the Communards were a master project to bring down #Thatcher using covers of 60’s & 70’s hits
