Why would some of Trump’s staunchest supporters and allies in the House seemingly and publicly defy him when it comes to McCarthy’s bid for SoH?

I don’t know what it is, exactly, but something is definitely afoot.

I believe Trump knows that KM is not ideal but there is no viable alternative right now and you have to work with what you’ve got.

Trump knows KM would do almost anything to be SoH, so he’s using his House allies to squeeze KM for the best deal that MAGA could get out of him.
For example, it was announced yesterday that the Congressional Leadership Fund, which is endorsed by KM, has agreed to refrain from spending in open-seat primaries in safe GOP districts, which opens the door for MAGA candidates to run and win.

My GOPe contacts in DC were seemingly caught off guard by the relatively small but committed House resistance to McCarthy’s bid for SoH.

As far as I can tell, they were not expecting it and thus were not prepared for it, hence the chaos on display.

Make of that what you will.
I’m sure he does.

Or instead of some tortured hypothetical, we could point out the fact that Obama and his fellow Democrats willfully incited the 2020 George Floyd/BLM riots all over the country, which lasted for months, where a bunch of black folks killed dozens of people including several LEOs, injured thousands of people including hundreds of LEOs, and resulted in over $2 billion in public and private property damage; and to add insult to injury, in stark contrast to the J6 rioters, the vast majority who broke the law managed to escape any justice or accountability for their crimes.

#ItsNotTheGuns

🧵⤵️
Democrats love to proclaim, “IT’S THE GUNS!”, whenever there is a shooting that captures the Ruling Class Uniparty media’s attention.

The data, however, tells a much different story, and that story makes it clear that #ItsNotTheGuns:
First, when we look at the per capita rate of gun-related deaths (which includes homicides and suicides) in the U.S. compared to several other countries with far fewer guns, we find that the U.S. is not that different despite having an order of magnitude more guns; if it really… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image

Pay attention.

They won’t stop until the 2nd Amendment is either outright abolished or rendered null and void via regulation.

The worst kept secret in the GOP is that the GOPe wants to get rid of Trump and unlock his grip on the GOP base.

The GOPe obviously see RDS as the vessel to do that, so they are doing everything they can to elevate RDS and lower MAGA in order to undermine Trump.
As for why the GOPe wants to get rid of Trump, the answer is fairly obvious, in my opinion:

If your scam is to use the illusion of choice to hold onto power regardless of performance, you cannot allow a bona fide outsider to actually perform and risk exposing your scam. Image

Are you familiar with the concept of hypernormalization?

If not already, you really should take a moment to learn what it is in theory and how to spot it in practice because it’s happening right now; and it’s only going to get worse, much, much, worse.

⤵️
While sometimes subtle, especially in its earlier stages, here are some of the more recent and glaring examples:

“Build Back Better”

“Inflation Reduction Act”

“MAGA is fascist”

“Antifa is anti-fascist”

“Men can get pregnant”

⤵️
“Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election”

“The 2020 election was the most secure and safe in history”

“Changing a child’s gender is healthcare”

“Parents are domestic terrorists”

“The Ruling Class has your best interests in mind”
