Summary

Far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claims that Donald Trump’s recent election win validates her position as part of “mainstream America” rather than the “fringe.”

Greene, known for her controversial conspiracy theories, argued on conservative outlet Real America’s Voice that Trump’s supporters align with her beliefs.

With speculation that she might join Trump’s cabinet, Greene asserted that loyal MAGA supporters should be prioritized for roles in his administration over newcomers like RFK Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy, emphasizing her unwavering support for Trump and his policies.

Sorry, Empty G, you are still a crazy Karen no matter how much hooting you do.

She's not wrong. At least half the country is dumb as rocks and a good proportion is racist and generally bigoted. America has eroded its international standing to an unprecedented low.

Mainstream garbage.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

She's right. Americans can't hide behind popular vote anymore. They are terrible people

I hate to say it... But yeah. She is.

I hate this timeline.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Yep, this is what caused me the most grief about the election. These people are everywhere.

I wonder what portion of her "support" is thinking "stfu already and gtf back to the kitchen and let the men handle this shit".

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

Maybe if she becomes part of Trump's cabinet, she can finally get control of that sweet hurricane generating tech she said exists.

Nothing like a fringe cunt having to yell super loud about how not fringe cunty she is.

Cunt is another word for a nazi, not a woman, by the way.

Magic: The Gathering is a collectable trading card game. Not a politician.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

I too cannot read "MTG" as anything other than Magic: The Gathering

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

At this point, she's right. she is mainstream America as mainstream America voted trump in too

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

The average American is dumb, so she's calling herself dumb, which she is. Gotta give it to her, she has some self reflection.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

She kinda, sorta, has a point...

I hate this clown.

MTG can just fuck off.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

She is apparently not wrong, and I hate that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Nothing more normal than screaming "I'm Normal! I'm Normal! I'm Normal!" to everyone you can possibly victimize with your shrill not un-harpy-like voice.

Half of every American won't forget it in their lifetime ever again, that their twisted views are the right thing to believe. Poor other half that will have to endure this daily from now on. F
