Rep. Matt Gaetz, as reported by Newsmax, has sparked a debate with his statement that the MAGA movement can afford to lose voters he refers to as 'Karens', as it gains new support from other demographics, namely 'Julio and a Jamaal'. Gaetz's comments suggest a strategic pivot within the Republican Party, aiming for a 'diverse and durable' voter base. The remarks have led to various reactions on social media, with some users criticizing the approach for potentially alienating voters and questioning its effectiveness in future elections.

The thing about Karens that makes this a bad trade is, they show up to vote and they get their friends and family to vote too. Julio and Jamal might say they like Trump, but Julio doesn’t even have his papers and Jamal isn’t registered to vote. https://t.co/0FP2AUjhYM

So, @mattgaetz supports replacement theory now? Is there anyone with Trump's ear who isn't a complete dumbass spending time alienating voters? Easy for someone in a safe district to say. Do they not remember he lost the popular vote twice? Or is it just about clout & the grift? https://t.co/OwTHTWM1iT
