But not @albomp.bsky.social who breaks into a cold sweat at the thought of conflict or controversy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is just experiencing what countless Democrats, both politicians and ordinary civilians, have experienced when Trump sends his MAGA violent cultists after them.
So many Republicans only have empathy when something bad happens to them. Remember the GOP on January 6?
