She needs to be booted out for speaking that way to mom. Don't let her in, dont send her money or provide support in any way. Its time for her to grow up.
Why have you posted, OP? Are you looking for advice or do you want to argue politics, ideology and other random points? We cannot argue for your daughter, that's her case to make, even if she either doesn't know how to (or cannot) argue her point without inflammation. You could draw the line then but you clearly do not. Your(?) daughter does have a lot to learn, but so do you and her mom.

I agree but her mom forgives her for everything and just talks to her to not repeat that behavior, but it gets repeated over and over. It hasn't worked for 10+ years. She used to listen to me but has disrespected everyone in her mom's family except my side of the family.
If you cannot accept that some young adult teens are simply extreme cases and deserve professional help I don't know how you'll ever be convinced unless you had spent those years with her.
We are not dogs whereby if we're taught by one person at an early age the same outcome always happens 99-percent of the time.
There's more family & friends that support how we raised her. Her outbursts & mood swings are a terrible sickness. Like many household in the US, adults have to let them loose and figure out their own value and if they still love their parents. I'd say right now she doesn't.
There's more stories that would make your head explode and say, "wow", but there' s no need to disclose bad memories. There were many great memories and laughter in her early years.
Haven't read the entire thread, but from what I have read, OP is extremely biased and controlling, and unable to entertain the fact that adults can have different political ideas that are not "crap," but well-thought-out ideas about things. The OP is the one that has shown no respect for his daughter being a sovereign human being with the right to her own opinions.

A sovereign person. This is exactly who she is and what she does!!!
biased and controlling? it sounds more like you are and that I can't have an opinion if it doesn't mesh with yours. All I was mentioning was common sense responsibilities.
How's your family or kids doing? I am sure you'll tell the truth about your "sovereign" kids.
Well thought out ideas? We can listen but we can also call it out when it isn't well thought out. I'm getting the sense you may be a young millennial who was allegedly abused, made some wrong choices as we all do, but you are overly defensive and quickly label people you don't know.
Wake up!! Talk to more people. More ethnicities. Live abroad and get a perspective instead of a bubble USA perspective.
People here still live & grow up within different cultures and family rules and not everyone is like you. Asians, middle- easterns, lacks, latinos. Each have different sets of standards in raising a family that likely don't jive with yours. Ours just pushes common sense.
She is 19 years old, she is an adult. She is also an abusive adult. Time to cut the cord and move her out for good. I wouldn't let someone like her around my family.

Remembering some of your posts about a home with parents being gone extended periods of time, parents not agreeing on anything - she is the creation of her environment. What do you want to "raise" at 19?
