Marjorie Taylor Greene never got “the joke that MAGA is about anything more than manipulation”—her failure to do so may be her one service to the nation, @davidfrum.bsky.social argues.

When Jack Abramoff dominated Washington lobbying in the 1990s and early 2000s, he observed that there were two kinds of people in town: those who “get the joke” and those who don’t.

Those who got the joke understood that all of the city’s talk of ideas and principles was flimflam to conceal self-enrichment at the public’s expense. Those who didn’t—didn’t.
