MTG has made herself an agent of chaos and a pawn of Putin. She’s done so willing, openly and with actual malice. She is a threat to her colleagues, holding a sword over her own Speaker’s head while obstructing critical legislation. She is a danger to her nation.
She simply doesn't have a compass. She spews whatever nonsense her radical, crazy brain thinks at the moment, and has no desire to cling to reality, or acknowledge facts. She is no better than the stupid people who followed hitler down the road to destruction, a mouthpiece for the rot that is trying to destroy our Democracy.
She SO needs to be voted out of office, and disappear from the public eye.
Holy crapola is all I can say. I never thought I would live to see this day in our country. What some traitors we have in our house. Like 1939 all over again.
My late Ukrainian father would have been stunned to hear to hear someone say this. He and his family ran to Canada to get away from communism and its religious repression. She is so sickening.
Sigh, you aren't seeing this in context. MTG is symptomatic of what's happening across the board with the American Right.
We are moving towards a Hot Civil War because they think they can WIN using the Supreme Court. Just like Bush II did in 2000.
The roots of this are White Racism and the formation of the Modern Republican party in 1968. Nixon won by 1% in 1968. In 1972 he won by 23.2%
Nixon won the election, with a 23.2% margin of victory in the popular vote. The fourth largest percentage margin in presidential election history. He received almost 18 million more popular votes than McGovern. The widest margin in the number of voters in ANY U.S. presidential election.
In 1972, a whole generation of young WHITE voters rejected the FDR Democratic party allegiance of their parents and grandparents and became Republicans. 1972 was a SEA CHANGE election.
The consequences of this realignment were profound.
Between 1968 and 2008, the Republicans held the Presidency 28 out of 40 years. If it had not been for Watergate and Ross Perot, they would have had a clean sweep. Sea Change elections are consequential.
What HAPPENED between 1968 and 1972!
So, in 1968 Bobby Kennedy got assassinated. He had been the front runner for the Democratic ticket to replace the retiring LBJ. His death split the Democratic party.
The Older Establishment faction wanted Hubert Humphrey. He was Johnson’s VP, a solid party man, and a decent politician. He would be continuity with the FDR ideas and policies that had been the foundation of the Democratic Party since the 30's.
The Young Progressive faction had been leaning towards Kennedy. Upon his death they rallied around “Clean Gene” McCarthy, the “Bernie Saunders” of the party at that time. His criticism of the LBJ Administration on its Vietnam policies had been extremely caustic and he was against the war.
White Southern Democrats, the “law and order” faction of the party rallied around George Wallace. The former Democratic governor of Alabama and an open segregationist, Wallace represented the “Old Democratic Party” of the segregationist South.
At the convention, the Party gave the nomination to Humphrey. Even though he had run in no primaries the “insider” vote gave him the delegates he needed.
McCarthy told supporters he could not endorse the nominee. Wallace ran as an “Independent”.
A lot of young progressive voters stayed home in November and didn’t vote. They wanted to punish the Party and they wanted Humphrey to lose.
Nixon won the popular vote by less than one point, but carried most of the states outside the Northeast. Comfortably winning the electoral vote. Former Alabama Governor George Wallace, head of the American Independent Party, took 13.5% of the popular vote, and won the electoral votes of the Deep South.
1968 was a TURNOUT election. Even with Wallace peeling off 13.5% of the WHITE Southern vote, Nixon won the popular vote by only one point. Young Progressive Democrats didn’t turn out for Humphrey and it was enough to give Nixon a narrow victory.
Between 1968 and 1972 Nixon adopted the "Southern Strategy".
The BIG INSIGHT of the "Young Turks" Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, and Rodger Stone was that if you got the majority of the WHITE VOTES you would win every time. You could win consistently with just the WHITE vote.
In 1972 that 13.5% who voted for Wallace, voted for Nixon. They have been Republicans since then.
Here are some uncomfortable facts about America.
2 out of 3 WHITE voters, votes Trumpublican.
90% of the Trumpublican party is WHITE.
One of our two major political parties is basically racially based. That should tell you everything you need to know to understand MTG and her "appeal" in Trumpublican political circles and among the voters she represents.
This is the LAST CHANCE for these voters to seize control of the machinery of government and "remake" America. Their numbers are dwindling.
In 2020 the result was Trump 49%, Biden 51%.
The numbers were:
Trump - 42% White, 1% Black, 6% Hispanic, 0% APII (Trump polled virtually 0% among these voters)
Biden WON because 2% of the White vote FLIPPED. They couldn't stomach Trump.
Biden didn't win a DECISIVE victory because 2% of the Hispanic vote (misogynistic Hispanic men ADORE Trump) flipped and voted Trumpublican.
In 2022 these percentages didn't really change. What happened is Young Women broke decisively for the Democrats over the issue of ABORTION.
The Supreme Court doomed the Republican party with the Dobbs decision.
Women 18–29 voted Democratic by a 73% margin.
Women 30–44 voted Democratic by a 57% margin.
In 20 years, those women will be the dominant political force in America. These numbers tell you they will most emphatically, NOT be voting Republican.
WHITE America is literally dying as the Boomer generation begins to fade.
How does it seize and HOLD power in a country where an "open coup" would force the military to intervene?
What Dobbs did, is give them a way of criminalizing Black, Latina, and Liberal White women.
Just like criminalizing Black men has resulted in 20% of them being stripped of the right to vote. This gives them massive opportunities to criminalize women. Taking away their right to vote.
Consider this. There is no statute of limitations for murder. The Germans just sent a 102 yo Nazi death camp guard to prison. Murder hangs over you your whole life.
If abortion is “murder”, legally every woman who has ever gotten an abortion is a “murderer”. The fact that they were told it was legal doesn’t change that.
The death camp guard was told it was legal for him to kill people in the camps. At that time, it was legal. However, “I was just following orders” has been rejected as a legal defense again and again.
Just because abortion was legal when you got one, doesn’t shield you if it becomes murder.
If you “knew it was wrong” at the time you did it. In the eyes of the Law, you committed murder, it doesn’t matter if it was legal or not.
There is no statute of limitations on murder.
Murderers also cannot flee to another state to escape prosecution. They get arrested and extradited.
GOP senator blocks bill to protect interstate travel for abortion
Asks “Does that child in the womb have the right to travel in their future?” Lankford said in objecting. “Do they get to live?”
“There’s a child in this conversation as well,” he added.
See where this is going?
The Evangelical Christians are “Culture Warriors”. Many of them think the “End Times” are nigh and that they are going to have to go to war with the “Demoncrats”. They are arming themselves and trying to purify their populations.
They think abortion is a sin. The rest of the Trumpublican’s are going along with this because it gives them a big club to use. They can criminalize any woman they want to, taking away her right to vote.
The shape of the “New America” the Trumpublicans are working towards is becoming more clear.
They won’t stop holding elections, that would be un-American. But only the “Whitest” most reliable parts of the population will get the privilege of voting. Because letting “criminals” vote is just crazy.
The appearance of Democracy without actually being a democracy. White minority rule forever.
That’s what’s coming if they win in 24'. That’s their ENDGAME GOAL. It’s the only way they can hold onto power.
Don’t count on the Supreme Court to stop it. They are helping the Trumpublicans make it possible.
If the Supreme Court rules, like it did in 2000, that a Trumpublican has “won” a contested election. The military is probably not going to fracture. They will probably obey the lawful, legitimate Trumpublican civilian authority.
Who will then really get to work to make sure that Trumpublicans never lose another election again. Ever.
Wisconsin Republican gubernatorial candidate Tim Michels spoke at a rally on 26 October in Waukeshan and stated that if he was elected he would “fix” the states election system to make sure Republicans never lose another election again.
Republicans say their party ‘will never lose another election’ if they win. They will fix the voting system to make sure of it.
On PBS i saw reports that Russians are destroying Protestant churches in Ukraine because they only want Orthodox Churches to exist. So very Christian indeed.
Do you think NASA has the capability to take out this planet? It would be a huge win for our country and other nations. Till then our strongest hope is the ballot box.
The planet MTG lives on is a dystopian world of anti-Semites, White Supremacists, anti-intellectuals, uneducated, armed individuals who don't want us to believe our lying eyes. We have allowed our educational systems to degrade so much that people attain adulthood without any comprehension of politics, science, economics, personal finance, health, etc. and her likes are now hateful willing fools. And the promise of the Meritocracy has been destroyed by the rich and famous who've bought their way into elite institutions (rowing? really?). No surprise we have MTG, Trump, Trumplicans, Tea Party, etc.
And the leader of Ukraine is Jewish, but according to Putin a Nazi. How does this get fixed?
MTG and all the Russian bot Republicans are providing comfort to our enemy and thus are treasonous-traitors! They should be kicked out of the USA. Let them go live in the Russia they love so much so that they can experience the real deal of greatness. If MTG is not bright enough to learn Russian, too bad!
MTG has made herself an agent of chaos and a pawn of Putin. She’s done so willing, openly and with actual malice. She is a threat to her colleagues, holding a sword over her own Speaker’s head while obstructing critical legislation. She is a danger to her nation.
Of course She does. Just one more thing she’s done & said & believes that Confirms She Is a Bat-shit Crazy Traitor!
Actually I don't think she really believes this. She's just using it as propaganda.
She simply doesn't have a compass. She spews whatever nonsense her radical, crazy brain thinks at the moment, and has no desire to cling to reality, or acknowledge facts. She is no better than the stupid people who followed hitler down the road to destruction, a mouthpiece for the rot that is trying to destroy our Democracy.
She SO needs to be voted out of office, and disappear from the public eye.
I wonder if she's committed any indictable crimes.
I wouldn't be surprised. Where was she during the 1/6 insurrection? Did she sign her name to any documents supporting treason?
Excellent points!
The ironic thing is she’d probably make his skin crawl.
But she's still useful to him.
No doubt. Standard bearer
Holy crapola is all I can say. I never thought I would live to see this day in our country. What some traitors we have in our house. Like 1939 all over again.
MTG is clearly not wired very tightly. And she is a Putin pawn. She is unworthy to be in the Congress of the United States of America!
My late Ukrainian father would have been stunned to hear to hear someone say this. He and his family ran to Canada to get away from communism and its religious repression. She is so sickening.
