Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is just as sick and tired of the GOP as voters are

(4,370 posts)If I may add a line or six:
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope and throw and brand 'em
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waiting at the end of my ride.
These first three lines SO accurately describe what most Republican candidates successful or otherwise think of their constituency: cattle to be branded and eventually slaughtered for their own financial gain.

(11,767 posts)If the leaders of the Conservative movement enacted the laws and policies that they really want to enact, they would see a massive revolt.
They would likely still have maybe 25% support of the population, but Conservative policies are tailored for the wealthiest people. They have a very specific vision of what they want America to look like and it does not include prosperity for the average American.
Either Greene is an idiot, or a liar. Likely both which is lucky for us. She sounds like she bought into the lie that Conservatives have been putting out there since Nixon and Reagan when they made their deal with racists and fundamentalist Christians. They want their pony now, and Conservatives cannot deliver because they never meant to deliver.

(108,783 posts)1. Go on talk shows like Sean Hannity, Steve Bannon, and Alex Jones relentlessly, and post about it on social media.
2. Generate content for Fox News.
3. Complain that the other side isn't doing their jobs.
It's the circle of shit and it screws us all!

(9,852 posts)There are more GOP trainwrecks but we have a few too.
One would think with all the good and intelligent humans, we could get more politicians that didn't just specialize in breaking stuff and being unfair.
What a sorry species.
If this shit continues, the USA will fail and then stuff will get real ugly, like what we see now elsewhere (and fail to see how our privileged positions contribute to the mess).
