Summary

Far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claims that Donald Trump’s recent election win validates her position as part of “mainstream America” rather than the “fringe.”

Greene, known for her controversial conspiracy theories, argued on conservative outlet Real America’s Voice that Trump’s supporters align with her beliefs.

With speculation that she might join Trump’s cabinet, Greene asserted that loyal MAGA supporters should be prioritized for roles in his administration over newcomers like RFK Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy, emphasizing her unwavering support for Trump and his policies.

    The average American is dumb, so she’s calling herself dumb, which she is. Gotta give it to her, she has some self reflection.

    I wonder what portion of her “support” is thinking “stfu already and gtf back to the kitchen and let the men handle this shit”.

    Nothing more normal than screaming “I’m Normal! I’m Normal! I’m Normal!” to everyone you can possibly victimize with your shrill not un-harpy-like voice.

    Yes, yes she is. I’m sorry to tell you that an obscene amount of americans could only be dumber if they were born as a stone. And another stupidly high part are also as evil as it comes.

      Not sure about that, you shock the right kind of rock the right number of times and it can do math… you shock one of these clowns, the closest thing you’ll get them to do is meth.

      This election has shown me that my values aren’t compatible with most other Americans, and that is very hard to understand. I’m looking for the best alternative.

        I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no best alternative.

        Republicans are full on racist, fascist, crazy people.

        Greens are all the above with the rotted veneer of liking the environment.

        Libertarians are all the above plus more racist and crazy minus the environment.

        Democrats are incompetent, won’t let go of being Republican-lite, and are unreliable allies like MLK warned about.

        Progressives are petulant, instant gratification demanding, iPhone attention span, unreliable allies that MLK warned about.

        Right now, I’m just going to go full independent and stop trying to fix any of this shit show and concentrate on just surviving and making sure my kids have an out. I’ve got no confidence in anything in this nation that isn’t better than this so fix it yourselves, I’m out.

        Why?

        Everyone who agrees with you just didn’t vote. Sure that made trump win but the populace is stupid and doesn’t pay attention. Most ppl don’t really know how bad it will be.

        There are way more of us than there are of them.

          I fear we are at the point where our numbers no longer matter. Protests will be met with violence from the state. The military will be used against political rivals. The populace will be given a mold and will be punished for breaking out of it.

        I live in Kentucky. I need out. I haven’t had anyone say anything because I’m 6 foot 4 220 pounds, but I don’t feel safe. I’m surrounded.

          Spaniards have recently been known to throw bananas at black football (soccer in American) players, I’m not sure they’re a particularly viable alternative.

            That is unfortunate, but also Tuesday in parts of the US. I’ll be on the lookout for a racially diverse, lgbtq+ friendly, left leaning country with socialized medicine and good educational systems, but I may need to compromise somewhere to escape in a timely manner.

            Americans think they have a lock on racism. But we’re noobs at it. Europe has about 1000 years on us in that arena.

            Racism is inescapable. I’m more interested in things like not for profit health care, social safety nets, public education, and in general, government that isn’t solely focused on maintaining infinite growth for corporations and a few wealthy individuals.

      Through all of this, this has more or less been the toughest pill to swallow. It’s not a vocal minority, it’s all of them. I had hopes that enough of them would be turned off by the rhetoric and rape, but I’ve been proven wrong. Absolute zero empathy for humanity. I can only hope that these worthless people are hurt first and hurt worst by the upcoming administration.

        They will. The ACA is gonna be destroyed, FEMA is going to be destroyed, shit they are even going to take away the NOAA weather alerts because it will “promote climate change.” They won’t even have warnings before they hit and no money after.

        Fuck them all. Especially the motherfuckers in Georgia who decided to sit this election out.

        May the seas swallow them all.

    I like how the summary ends. It gives me hope of some backstabbing and conflicts over nepotism.

      That’s my primary hope. Musk and Peter Thiel have hated each other since the PayPal days, and I’m hoping the Thiel picked administration members butt heads with the Trump/Musk campaign and nothing gets done because they’ll act like backstabby high schoolers.
