So MTG supports the traitor who divulged private information on the internet

[Baitball Blogger]

because he's white, Christian and anti-war (meaning anti-support for Ukraine). I see the big picture. Young Republicans get assigned to lots of positions where they might handle sensitive information. The unseen. It's a huge problem when you consider that so many are going to get into these positions as a favor to parents who have connections. And the reason they are so special to people like MTG, is because they're easy pickings for those who are trying to destroy our democracy from within.

My big worry now is, how many other like him are there? And is the GOP grooming these kids to be used in their big war to own the libs and remake this country under an autocratic format?

1. MTG is so predictable it's getting boring

[2naSalit]

3. At least we're...

Hip to the stink of her shit. We don't need her to start getting creative.

19. She isn't smart enough to get creative.

You have to have a certain type and level of intelligence to be creative. Really, if you look at Greene throughout her "public" career, when has she ever shown any kind of creativity?

At the risk of sounding complacent, right wing politics is NOT about creativity. Their arguments are actually simplistic and stupid. They rely on affective overload and repetition. We can predict what she will say pretty well. The problem is that her base, the people she is really talking to, they don't care. They want it. They need it. It keeps them primed.

Jordan Klepper was doing one of his segments where he goes to right wing events and he was asking a woman about Ukraine. She literally said it was "fake". Not ginned up, not corrupt, but literally fake, like with actors and sets fake. Where do you think she gets her information from? Right wing sites. Not even Fox thinks the war in Ukraine is "fake".

She doesn't need to be smart or creative to be effective. The only limit on Greene is that she is in a bubble. She may serve in the House for some time, she may even be someone's VP pick. I am predicting now, that she will Never hold more than a district office at the National level. She won't be Senator, VP, or President...ever. She is too stupid and extreme for that. She may have power and will have fame and money, but she doesn't have the brains, and wasn't born into enough money (like her mentor Trump) to have a real national impact.

2. It's...

How I've seen it for quite some time.

In linguistics it is considered a kind of fact that languages and cultural shifts take place at the offspring level. For instance, a couple emigrate to a new culture with a vastly different culture and language, they bring their parents with them. Soon they have children, all the while they struggle to learn the ways of their new home so they carry on in a sort of limbo between their home culture and the new they need to assimilate with but find the tools sparse.

As the children grow they learn the language and culture of the new place naturally and they then teach it to their parents and grandparents as well as the children they eventually have. It is also the pathway to language creation, the children develop the rules of grammar. It is a natural process that has taken place forever.

Applying that to your observation, yes, the most expedient route to cultural shift to authoritarianism is to focus the basics toward the early learning generation(s), they will distribute the knowledge. (See Germany, Youth Corps, WWII).

4. It would also explain why De Santis is starting his war in the school grade level.

He's trying to point out what books are not acceptable to the new regime.

5. Exactly.

6. I am sure she has hate for Ukraine because Zelensky

is Jewish and she has a crush on Vlad the Beheader. MTG loves war crimes.

7. Ar least we know where she stands and how she

will vote.

She represents backwater whites and there seem to be a lot of them around right now.

8. He's not anti-war. He's pro-wars waged by the Russians.

He's pro-war waged by the Russians, and the white supremacists, and the extreme right-wing fascists. He just doesn't like it when their victims choose to defend themselves from slaughter and torture and tyranny. She shares his admiration for thugs.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

14. Yes, that's precisely the right correction.

[TheRealNorth]

16. Exactly

MAGA Fascists love wars when it advances their causes and kills their perceived enemies.

[meow2u3]

9. Ukrainians have a derogatory word for people like Empty G and the leaker she simps for

They call Kremlin sympathizers vatniks, those who kiss russkie @$$.

The only difference between a tankie and a vatnik is the extreme they're on. Tankies are far left Kremlin ass kissers and vatniks are far right traitors.

10. Marge is anti-government and anti-democracy, that is why she supports the leaker.

[ananda]

11. She's become the truly ugly face of the republican party.

Good for energizing people to vote Democratic.

[central scrutinizer]

12. The GQP, Putin and the NRA are intertwined

And often work in concert. And FoxNews blasts their agenda to the MAGAts 24/7. The result, predictably, is stochastic terrorism.

[Mysterian]

13. Support for espionage against the U.S. in Congress

Thanks, republican voters in Georgia.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

15. I'm more convinced that ever that 60 Minutes and Lesley Stahl

made exactly the right call by exposing Greene to their significant national audience.

Americans voters can now connect the dots.

More to come.

17. She supports anything that gets her in the news

She is all about attention.

18. Guns for me but not for thee. She and her boy are pro genocide.
