The Scariest Thing About Marjorie Taylor Greene? She's Not Alone.

[Zorro]

For the United States Congress, she’s still a little on the extreme side. But out there in red America, there are millions of Marjorie Taylor Greenes. Yes, millions.

It’s been a big week for Georgia’s own Marjorie Taylor Greene. She was made fun of by Jimmy Kimmel, and she was ignored by Jen Psaki. Some hope that she’ll be expelled from Congress for her refusal to wear a mask or her involvement in “Stop the Steal.”

But I’ve got some bad news about the GOP’s most famous freshman congresswoman: She’s not an aberration. She’s actually very representative of the boomer moms in her district (a district she moved to because the district she lived in was too competitive).

Taylor Greene is an odd mélange of all the worst elements of Trump’s Republican Party. She’s got all the crazy of a Louie Gohmert mixed with the virulent racism of a Steve King with a dash of the weird paranoia of a Devin Nunes. Her social media is a virtual oppo research file filled with some of the craziest, most disturbing Boomer brain worm content imaginable, from QAnon conspiracy theories to the preposterous idea that 9/11 was an inside job. And even before she was sworn in, MTG was at the White House having a “planning session” with the Trump team about how she was going to stop Joe Biden from “stealing the election.”

But probably the scariest thing about Taylor Greene isn’t her insane beliefs. It’s that she’s not alone. For starters, she is the representative of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, a place where “more than six thousand recently signed a petition to save a local statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.”

Pulling the camera back, Taylor Greene represents a real part of the Boomer mom conspiracy-minded Trump base. She may be a little on the extreme side for Congress. But we have every reason to believe that out there in red America, there are millions of people who think everything she thinks and believe every word she says. Yes, I said millions.

1. Greene is a Gen-Xer appealing to Generation Jones, Baby Boomers, & Seniors,

as well as other Gen-Xers.

Mostly, however, she appeals to racist, bigoted, xenophobic, unreconstructed Confederate white people. I grew up in TN nearby the GA 14th Congressional District. I can tell you that there are generations of these people in large numbers in this area.

2. No she's not, not at all.

Not just in the GA 14th (I’ve been there several times) but all over. In the suburbs and just outside of them. In the cities too I’m sure.

3. I noticed on my walk today that 3 houses still have their Trump/Pence signs up

2 are right next door to each other and the other is across the street. I was wondering if they think something else is going to happen or they are just doing this to show their support for someone who is not president anymore.

I also saw a really dirty SUV at the supermarket with "Biden will never be my president" carved into the dirt. And then I saw a guy with a red MAGA hat when I was walking in.

That is abnormal for 3 months after the damn election!

4. We ALWAYS hear "Never Forget".........

and that is certainly important to remember at this time!

74 MILLION people thought that what we've had for the past 4 years was so good and we should have 4 more years of the same - or even worse!!!!

We did a fantastic job in 2018 in taking back the House. THANK GOD! Can you imagine where we would be NOW without Speaker Pelosi guarding the House?

We DID get BunkerBoy tossed - and J&K are doing a FANTASTIC job - far better than one could have dared thought......

BUT.....

We really have to work even harder to NOT LOSE GROUND - we CANNOT lose either the House or the Senate - we SIMPLY CANNOT!

NEVER FORGET.............
