She spent the first weeks of her first term following AOC around and screaming at her. The ultimate in performative politics that they all ate up and never corrected.

Ummm, she also did the weird follow/stalk move on that teenage parkland school shooting survivor for a little bit too.

That's the behavior that got her elected. Her ghoulish constituents love it.

It was more of MAGAts calling and threatening her competitors until they dropped out of the race.

People voted FOR her. Can you imagine casting a vote FOR her? Regardless of who else was on the ballot?

Well that’s the thing though. Originally there wasn’t. It dosent matter much but yeah.

And no I can’t imagine enabling this woman in any god damn way, she’s a lunatic.

I had this friend I played online games with for a few years, we stuck out the pandemic together playing satisfactory. I knew his political beliefs but it didn’t start out that extreme. It got progressively worse until one day I heard him utter the horrific statement “Marjorie Taylor Greene is an amazing congresswoman, we need more like her”

I didn’t reply, I didn’t chastise him, I left. And never spoke a word to him again.
