Indeed, that "elitist cabal" crap is some MAGA scripted nonsense. She seems far more aligned with the MTG wingnut set than any faction within the Democratic Party.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Tulsi_Gabbard Some progressive stuff in there (see: "F" rating from the NRA), but apparently, her progressive policies don't matter enough to her to be able to overlook her objections to "wokeness" - whatever she thinks that means.
With a political record like that, if she thinks she has a political future in the GOP, she's kidding herself. What she does seem to have ahead of her is a career as a media troll. More CPAC speaking slots, more guest appearances on Tucker Carlson's show ("a former Democrat speaks out!") and that kind of thing.
But if she doesn't hold office, how long are people gonna care?
