What to you call a person who STILL votes Republican, STILL supports people like MTG? I suppose “evil” isn’t quite right, though it’s certainly in the right direction. “Whacko” isn’t far wrong either.
M Traitor Greene also gave the rabid Republican base their phone numbers so they could get death threats.
Seriously, I can’t understand why everyone isn’t fed up with the criminal and traitorous Republican Party yet. The only ones that could love them are criminals.
Sad to see loyalty to country and reality being replaced with loyalty to political party and exclusion. The emotionally-driven “my party is better than your party” feeling is not mature or productive. A part cannot be greater than the whole. American exceptionalism is about inclusion, NOT exclusion.
This leads to the question; what do you call a Trumpist pretending to be a Republican? Marjorie has never been a Republican other than in the “Alternative Fact” universe.
In retrospect, we Dems could’ve had much more bipartisan support for the infrastructure bill had we not, driven by the extreme left, insisted on connecting the bill with the other multi-T bill which even left a few Dems cold. Finally, Pelosi allowed the bill to stand alone and now we have a good bill to boast about. Its been suggested that had we done that from the beginning, the Virginia vote might’ve come out differently. Alas, there are times, even when a party does good, they also do stupid, too.
GOP’s ‘constant self-radicalization’ could make majority rule impossible
The GOP has been on a “constant churn of self-radicalization” that has cost them congressional majorities in the Donald Trump era, but they could impose minority rule through restrictive voting laws and partisan gerrymandering that could allow the most extreme elements in their party to rise to the top, reported CNN.
“Years of gerrymandering by both parties have produced a House in which there are few competitive seats and in which members are driven to extremes to avoid primary challenges by more radical foes,” reported CNN political analyst Stephen Collinson. “While the Democratic Party’s radicalization tends to push it toward a more progressive democracy, the same process in the GOP has turned the party of Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln against democracy itself. That fact threatens to deny the country the healthy two-party system that has long been a hallmark of its superpower strength.”
“Neither man had to deal with someone like freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who said McCarthy was ‘a failure’ on Wednesday despite his constant appeasement of Trump,” he continued. “Angry that the California Republican hasn’t stripped Republicans who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure bill of their committee assignments, Greene warned that McCarthy isn’t a shoo-in for the speakership by saying Trump’s opinion is going to ‘matter big’ in who gets the gavel if the GOP wins. The sharp rebuke was a sign that McCarthy must constantly appease the vast Trump wing of his party to secure his own political ambitions — a factor that saw him quickly visit Mar-a-Lago this year in a bid to walk back his previous criticism of Trump over the insurrection.”
“Conservatives” certainly throw around the words “traitor” and “treason” with gay abandon. Seems like anything whatever they disagree with is treasonous. If treason is defined (as it is in the Constitution itself) as trying to injure or undermine the Constitution, the name that pops into mind most readily is Donald Trump.

Sadly, none of this infrastructure money or programs will be coming to my Democrat run town. So glad my taxes won’t go up to pay for it.

Republicans have made themselves into lying racist psychopaths who have no regard for the government of the United States of America.
