My favorite part of MTG turning on her friends is that it is all in response to being told she won’t be endorsed as a Senate candidate by the GOP. If she can’t have her fiefdom then no one can.
That’s the thing about authoritarians: they attract authoritarian followers (thought not exclusively). If the authoritarian at the top fails to recognize those of their followers that have the same traits and give them enough of a “fiefdom” to rule, then they betray. It’s one of the things that makes fully authoritarian rule fragile (most long-term successful dictators ensure they give enough power to the right people under them).
