The thing about conspiracy theories—they take away all the burden of actually having to think, thus eliminating all that onerous labor of seeking out and examining evidence, and all that hard mental work of reasoning and coming to logical conclusions based on facts (Real provable, reproducible facts, not “alternative” facts). Too many people prefer to travel that wide inviting road … January 6 showed us where that road leads!
I have faith that this GQP nut job will screw it up so bad that it will be gone, the problem is how much damage it will do in the mean time ! The GQP has no Backbone to police its own especially when it has been anointed by Trumpie the Clown !
More like a hundred giant leaps back. Back to the Antebellum period. Marjorie Green is so messed up that she thinks Jefferson Davis won the 2020 election.
Some Rep had her office changed away for Greene’s because her and her staff go maskless and stand out in the halls harassing Democrats like kids in the playground. Republicans wonder why we think they are STUPID! We don’t THINK, we KNOW!
It has gotten to the point that the seditious confederation of GOP Congressmembers is mocking the Republic by willfully allowing the sedition and conspiracy theories to flourish.They have captured the American flag, will trample on it, burn it, and our Constitution as well if continue to pretend that they are working with us for the nation as a whole.
If she doubles down.. defends her statements.. she will increase the number of her followers. She, and a number of others.. have taken trumps method to heart.
America has a lot of pent up frustration, Fox News and talk radio depend on it. Americas best days are long past.
Some people are just plain nuts. Some seek attention at any cost. Some are very dangerous. She’s all three, and in national government to boot. She needs to be removed from office but she won’t be because too many House members are afraid of her and their(Trump) base. A sorry/dangerous state of affairs.
“I do not believe that was Ruth. No. I don’t think so.”
— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a known conspiracy theorist, in response to a caller during a February 26, 2019, appearance on the pro-Trump website UniteAmericaFirst.com. According to a report from Media Matters, during her appearance, a caller asked Greene if she’d seen “the picture” of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at “the airport” (i.e., National Airport) “walking straight up right like it’s a whole new person” and asked her if she believed “that is Ruth.” Before Greene could respond, host Will Johnson jumped in, saying, “It’s almost like a body double like Hillary Clinton.”
Following the old Sarah Palin playbook: fill your social media with controversial, inflammatory content, then sit back as the media makes your molehill into a mountain and the wingnuts fill your campaign chest to bursting.
Are the “Republicans” such chronic liars and disseminators of innuendo, conspiracy theories, and supernatural dreams, that they feel everyone else is as well and there is NO objective truth/reality? Is it the environment she lived in that makes Greene so amoral and unAmerican?
Newest news about Greene. She claims that Ruth Bader Ginsburg died years ago, and was replaced by a body double. Somehow her family and the other judges didn’t notice, I guess.
Many years ago, I lived in Tennessee just across the state line from several of the Georgia counties that make up her home district. In that part of Tennessee there were simply no public school teaching jobs to be had. For three years, I made a daily car-pool commute to teach in that part of Georgia. I taught in two different counties and heard the racist lore of the others. As in, “Don’t be out after sundown unless you’re white.”
In one county, the joke was that every downtown block had at least one bar and one divorce lawyer. Not true, but too close to true for comfort.
Contrary to the current demographics, there were almost no black residents in either of the two counties that I worked in. One year, I taught in a high school where I had 150 students every day… every single one white.
I taught so many kids whose brothers and sisters all had different fathers. Most of my students had no expectation beyond working in the blue collar industries in the area. I only met one set of parents in the years I taught there. PTA meetings were ridiculous in that almost no parents ever attended.
Unemployment was high, money scarce. I never had enough textbooks to issue to the students, so the books stayed in the class rooms. Therefore, textbook homework or study was impossible. But there was plenty of money for sports team equipment.
I could literally talk non-stop for eight hours about how dismal the situation was.
I tried to teach some critical thinking skills. This usually took the form of discussing the latest crazy urban legend at any given moment. By the end of each year, I had at least a few who would roll their eyes and say, “Urban legend!” When another outlandish story would pop up.
The district is now represented by a crazy super-spreader of conspiracy theory, the malignant descendant of the usually harmless urban legend.
I still live in Georgia, but in Cobb County. We voted for Hillary four years ago.
