It's easy to dismiss Marjorie Taylor Greene as a crackpot. But her form of deranged anti-leftism is actually widespread among mainstream Republicans. It appears in standard-issue GOP ads and it regularly airs on the most popular right wing TV chat show:

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
I went to high school with a couple MTG's. Vulgar bullies with their vulgar henchwomen taunting from behind. No decency, no brains, no class. Taunting me, spitting at me, spreading rumors, destroying my stuff. I was not as smart as AOC, and certainly didnt have the composure. I fucking beat that harassing bitch in HS and have never felt bad about it.

New: A since-deleted video from 2019 shows MTG harassing
@AOC
's office through a locked door. Calling her "crazy eyes" and telling her through the office's mailbox slot to "get rid of your diaper" while telling the office to open the door and come out.

OMG. Other than that, I'm speechless.

Who wants to bet that MTG took Covid money? I'm going to refer to her from now on as Vulgar Taylor Green.
Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
Only the best.
I would like to put all the people (call them maga folk) who think MargieQ is being a super star in this video in a room and study them to find out what parts of their brains are not working.
And yes, it is so high school. One of the reasons I dropped out of high school is because I found it extremely upsetting. Jackals.

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
Wellllll....who wants to let her know that AOC only needs to answer to the voters of her district, and not to some crazies from north west GA.
Strangely she pulled that card on me [well her staffer who answered for her], when I asked her on Facebook why she feels the need to make all of GA look like a bunch of inbred hicks, which earned me a block from her.
Seems that she gets that she needs only to please people in GA-14 and not care what those in GA-8, yet feels that a rep from NY-14 should answer to her

Isn't/wasn't there a lawsuit against someone (Trump, maybe) arguing that it is illegal for an elected federal official to block someone from posting to their official FaceBook account?Frater I*I wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 11:02 am Wellllll....who wants to let her know that AOC only needs to answer to the voters of her district, and not to some crazies from north west GA.

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
I mean, isn't this sort of the inevitable end-state of Trumpism? If it doesn't matter what a person does as long as they say what their voters want to hear and hate who they hate, then electing a person who is as obviously disturbed as MTG seems completely reasonable, doesn't it?

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
Another verbal altercation just happened in the House:
MTG’s spokesman Nick Dyer told
@RepSwalwell
: “Biden says you can take off your mask”
Swalwell confronted Dyer, got in his face and according to Dyer, said: “You don’t tell me what to fucking do!”

This has some interesting implications for the whole 'marketplace of ideas' in politics. Generally in order to keep power one has to deliver some kind of reward to your supporters. This generally means policies that enrich donors or satisfy some priority of blocks of voters. But what happens when this reward system becomes divorced from public policy and becomes pure emotional well being? MTG and people like her.. they don't need to do any actual governing. They don't need to please lobbies, they don't need to please companies, they don't need to even please large donors. They don't even depend on funding from upstream groups like the GoP so they don't even need to keep them happy. All they need to do is behave in a way that excites their fans and then, they don't need to govern or even fundraise. This has some very worrying implications for democracy.

I had a mask on as I stepped off the Floor. An aide with @mtgreenee yelled at me to take my mask off. No one should be bullied for wearing a mask. So I told the bully what I thought of his order. Predictably, he went speechless. I regret I wasn’t more explicit.

The best response I’ve heard is I wear this mask so I won’t be mistaken for a trumper.
May the bridges I burn light my way.

Re: Marjorie Taylor Greene [R - Deliverance Country]
So, MTG and her staff have gone from "my body, my choice" and "personal freedom" to, hey, nobody is allowed to wear a mask. How amazingly unshocking this is.
One of my reasons to wear a mask past next Monday is because it will piss off the anti-mask folks.
Granted, up here, there has been little issue with mask-wearing, and I will also continue to wear it to comfort those who take COVID seriously.

This is something I think about a lot, and have worried about since Trump got elected. Governance as reality TV, more or less.
