I haven’t seen her opinion voiced in months. What’s she saying, and who’s publishing it?
The only controversy I heard recently about her is she said something about how we have to 'deprogram Trump supporters' on a massive scale, and Trump supporters got all up in arms because they now think that the government is going to try to forcibly deprogram them.
Which she's of course right about and they're of course being performatively paranoid about 🤦
How is that controversial? People have been saying it and taking about it for years. I'm pretty sure there are documentaries about trying to deprogram COVID deniers and other right wing loonies. Magidiots are just the largest Venn circle of them.
Whenever there's performative outrage, I'm always reminded of the West Wing episode where conservative women are mad at the first lady.

Brenda Swetland: "At this moment, you're not licensed to practice medicine,
correct?"
A. Bartlet: "At this moment, I'm just a wife and mother."
SAM
I don't see it.
C.J.
Well, you got to want it.
SAM
Oh, I see it.
C.J.
Yeah.
It's such a throwaway line, but it says so much about political discourse and the American people (maybe it's global, but I can only speak from experience). People want to be upset. They seek out reasons to be angry, because it validates their pre-existing hate. And I'm guilty of the same, but I'm working on it.

Et cetera. You're right that she's being more quiet than usual, though 🤷
