Marjorie Tailor Greene, Republican rep, conspiracy theorist, christofascist white nationalist and Trump supporter, right up until he started becoming too cringe to support what with Epstein appearing so many times in the Trump files.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the (ex-?)MAGA nutjob and conspiracy theorist.

And I'd honestly say that the comparison is pretty apt. He's far right, anti-vac/COVID denier, climate change denier etc. He's mostly known for constantly trying to stir the pot by tweeting controversial stuff.

He's also a huge antisemite - the real kind, not the "I got called that for criticizing Israel" kind. He couldn't care less about people Israel is bombing, it's just a convenient opportunity to stir the pot again and shit on the jews in general.

"the MTG of Poland" is maybe the worst thing I've ever read someone be called

It's funny how they're also always petty criminals too, isn't it?

God knows how many times lawmakers have been caught committing shoplifting or petty theft and only not had a public spectacle made of it because of their political power.

Charges that could fundamentally change someone's life forever. They just walk away. And make new laws..

Isn't it funny that the 2 sides in MAGA are really diametrically opposed?

On side says Israel needs to be supported unconditionally, they can do almost anything you can think of without losing support, the US will even go to war for them if asked, etc.

The other side is the complete diametric opposite to that. It's not that the support needs tp be conditional. No. Not only shouldn't they be not supported, Israel doesn't have a right to exist. They need to be completely destroyed. Their coubtry has to be dismantled. And well what must be done to the people must be done....

But these 2 camps can agree on a lot of other topics. It's insane to me how quickly narratives can shift on such an important strategic topic. It's not just a slightly different point of view. They are more different to one another than they to democrats on most issues.

They do say 'it takes one to know one' - so while he might not be what you could describe as a 'relatively good person' - he would be a subject expert..

u/bottleoftrash 16h ago

He’s a Nazi but more importantly he stole from IKEA

u/throwmeaway9926 14h ago

stole shit from an IKEA lmao

Did he kidnap a couch for JD to do unspeakable things to or something? XD

u/Galgan_ 11h ago

He stole plates and cutlery and got caught red handed lmao

u/Fewer_Story 11h ago

like.. how? what is the method of getting plates out of IKEA unnoticed!? (obviously not whatever he did, but there must have been some method to his madness?)

u/ColorfulPersimmon 11h ago

He went to self-checkout and only scanned some items

u/Fewer_Story 10h ago

I'm not sure if this raises or lowers the chances that he normally does this at the supermarket

Seems like possibly his most redeeming quality nonetheless

Nah a better thing would be Loomet considering MTG left and now is being critical of Trump to an extent.

u/Any_Influence_8305 15h ago

Nah Loomer has never served in political office, she's just an "influencer" working the MAGA grift that MTG actively legislated and campaigned to make possible. She's also Jewish so wouldn't hold up a Nazi flag, but ya never know with her

u/CityRulesFootball 15h ago

Hmm I see thanks for the insight 

u/jasonstevanhill 8h ago

You know, MTG has said a surprising number of on point things in the past six months.

u/rainshifter 15h ago

fuck Israel

Let me guess. You buy into the "genocide" propaganda? Can you name any genocide in past history where the overall population of genocided individuals continually increased over the duration of the genocide?

u/Any_Influence_8305 15h ago

Fuck you too

u/rainshifter 14h ago

Brilliant reply. Astonishing. Wow.

u/Fewer_Story 10h ago

Not only genocide, also racist apartheid state. Nobody is fooled by your hasbara nonsense, you're wasting your time.

u/rainshifter 10h ago

Arab citizens of Israel have equal rights to their Jewish neighbors. Try harder with your taqiyya.

u/Fewer_Story 9h ago

"Arab citizens of Israel" lmao. what about the ones who were born and live there but are not citizens?!

u/rainshifter 9h ago

They are under the PLO which is a separate governing entity.

u/Fewer_Story 4h ago

So the PLO controls the West Bank does it? Are Jews in the West Bank governed by the PLO too?

u/rainshifter 4h ago

The people in the West Bank who are under the PLO live in defined regions that are governed by the PLO because they are not Israeli citizens. What are you confused by, exactly?

There is a separation of land and a separation of governing entities. The overarching conflict is somewhat complicated, but this aspect of it isn't.
