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.
