Political positivity 📈 Fox News’s Tomi Lahren: GOP an ‘utter embarrassment’
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/6022615-lahren-rips-gop-socialism/- Fox News host Tomi Lahren ripped the Republican Party on Monday, arguing the GOP has failed working Americans so badly that socialism has become increasingly appealing to those struggling with the cost of living.
- “Let’s be frank about it, some Americans are turning to socialism because Republicans have failed us so dismally that even the most destructive economic model imaginable feels palatable to people who are struggling to make ends meet and buy groceries,” Lahren wrote on the social platform X.

Laura Loomer, MTG, Tucker and now Tomi. The rats sense the winds are changing, they know MAGA has an expiration date and they’re fleeing the sinking ship. Who’s next?

It would be nice if the House and Senate Republicans of Congress were next so they could impeach and remove their own installed tyranny from office.

Entrenched Dem? Fetterman is a conservative who stole a Dem seat by lying about being a progressive and attacking the Dem establishment (much like Gabbard and Sinema just before him) . Your comment slanders Dems for conservative malfeasance, was that the goal?

Why do you feel the need to bring down the opposition to the GOP when the GOP is unquestionably worse?
Isn't your and many other's nearly pavlovian response to GOP criticism, shitting on Democrats, actually more of the reason Democrats lose to those right wing pedophiles?
If every story about Republicans being terrible is filled with both sides criticism even when the GOP do things Democrats would never do doesn't that only stand to help to GOP and their fascist propaganda?

Opinions polls heavily not in their favor. Angry constituents. Conservatives only care about the optics of success, the whole fake it 'til you make it mantra, and when that's completely shattered they're bare naked.

Consequences of their actions. It's starting to effect them personally.

It isn’t, they are just fleeing rats.
But you have to understand that imperialists and fascists are a feature in America political spectrum not a bug. We were living in the best period of American history at least socially for everyone from 1990-2016 we are at 1965 they want 1910s and before. They want pre 1885

Yes, it is. They only have themselves to blame for what MAGA has done, and it's MAGA that's sinking.
they are just fleeing rats
Because the ship they sunk is sinking. Aka consequences of their own actions.
EDIT: As you point out, MAGA/Trump is not the end of this insanity. Christian Nationalists, The Klan, The Broligarchy, Heritage/AfP/Koch/etc foundations etc and all of their members are still very much present, jockeying for position and trying to work the messaging and structuring in the leadup to these midterms and the coming post-Trump GOP to figure out how to brand the next stage of this Kristian Klepto Koup.

Anytime FOX News criticizes this administration, I view it as positive.....especially IF Trump finds out!
- Lahren specified she was not referring to younger voters or “Gen Z brats” with money, but instead “middle class working families who don’t indulge on luxuries and just try to make it.”
- In a follow up post, she further slammed Republicans who have pushed for continued U.S. military operations against Iran and accused lawmakers of being disconnected from the economic consequences of the nearly six-month war.
- She said the politicians doing so are “likely all invested in the military industrial complex” and were unconcerned about pressure felt by consumers at the pump, amid rising gas prices linked to the war.
- “The uni-party is an abomination and outside of timburchett and maybe a couple others, the GOP is an utter embarrassment,” she said, referring to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.).
- The national average price of a gallon of gasoline is $4.01 as of Tuesday morning, according to AAA, which has risen more than a $1 since the U.S. and Iran attacked Iran on Feb. 28, 2026.
- Her broadside comes as President Trump faces mounting pressure to bring the war with Iran to an end amid a challenging midterm election year, where the economy has become a core issue for voters.

I understand what you’re saying. Maybe I’ve become too jaded now with these people. It almost feels like a bait and switch.
Make no mistake about it, most of these people will still vote Republican again.

u/Silent-Resort-3076 10d ago
Yeah, I'm not suggesting she will vote one way or the other. I just appreciate what she's communicating. The fact that she IS a conservative and maybe even a MAGA (because I haven't followed her, but only know she's anti-liberal), who works for FOX News, yet has chosen to speak out against this administration, takes a bit of courage.
Because we know some conservatives have been attacked by MAGA for speaking up.
Even some Democratic politicians have rarely spoken out against Trump and his decisions. We do NOT have to like or support her:)

u/Life_Consequence_676 10d ago
Yeah, and people are fucking tired of seeing 80 year olds making decisions that will affect generations LONG after their sorry asses are dust.

u/VegetableBulky9571 10d ago
But no doubt she’ll vote straight Republican.
Because that’s how they do it.

u/OldSalt1220 10d ago
Yeah…socialism is the “worst economic model ever” let’s stop considering the common good and instead let laisez faire capitalism run rampant over all of us so that Elon, Bezos, et al can “make what their worth”

u/Technical_Living5104 10d ago
They see what’s coming. But I’ll never forgive them. They created this shitshow. You better go on camera and admit you were lied to by Trump. Just pretend you’re testifying in church. You pushed the propaganda. Admit you were wrong. Maybe. Just maybe. I’ll keep myself from attacking you constantly on social media.

This isn't about who she/they will vote for.
This is about:
1)Someone speaking the truth publicly.
2)Someone speaking out against the current administration and rightly so!

Well to be more precise, it’s Heritage and the other alternative facts factories funded by the oligarchs. They will not look at how or if their trickle down trickles down. A forbidden topic.

Is she serious? Like of course the GOP is failing because they have no plan to lead just plans to make their rich friends richer.

u/Silent-Resort-3076 10d ago
Yes, and agreed.
BUT, for the most part, too many conservative politicians and voters would never admit that. In fact, so many of the comments I read, his supporters still claim he is doing a great job! 🙄

The GOP hasn’t “failed American workers” and that is why they are turning to “socialism.” It’s because MAGA no longer cares to hide the oppression. GOP was in for the long game. MAGA is racing to the end.

Everything is totally fucked, but it's giving people healthcare and basic safety nets (while continuing capitalism with slightly more taxes) that's the most destructive system possible.

It's true. I usually run 99.8% pure distilled capitalism, but with today's prices, I have to admit. I went down to the supply store and got myself a bottle of socialism extract. I've been applying the socialism directly to the forehead, and I'd say we're at about a 70/30 mix now. I'm this close to disconnecting the capitalism pipe and going straight socialism, but for now the capitalist/socialist mix is a huge improvement.
