Gimme five

As recently as 2023, Nancy Mace was getting credulous profiles portraying her as a Trump-skeptical Reasonable Moderate. She quickly figured out that there is no market for this within the Republican Party and also seems less than fully well, so she quickly turned hard-MAGA whose signature was directing transphobic slurs at the House’s trans member. She then got bored with being a house backbencher and ran for governor, completing her political trajectory. And congratulations, because she finished in every transphobe’s favorite place, fifth:

I’m not sure how she’ll blame trans people for getting 12% of the vote but I’m sure there’s an underemployed former Daily Wire staffer who can help her figure it out.
