The Republican Party, under the new management of House Squeaker and Fox News enabler, Kevin McCarthy, appears to be devoted to remaking itself as a Kremlin-style autocracy. Despite its razor-thin majority, they are governing as if they have popular mandate, which they most decidedly do not.

Taking the lead in the new McCarthyism is the representative from Swamp Pass, Georgia, who McCarthy pledged he “will never leave,” Marjorie Taylor Greene. Among her recent deplorable initiatives is one that advocates for a virtual civil war, a “national divorce” that separates the red states from the blue states. It’s a plan that would leave the red states destitute, because they rely on federal revenue that is mostly produced in blue states. And it’s on the strength of ideas like this, that violate her pledge of allegiance to one nation indivisible, that McCarthy gave her a coveted seat on the Homeland Security Committee.

On Tuesday Greene introduced another of her brilliant plans to undermine democracy. During an interview with ultra-rightist podcaster and over-age student activist, Charlie Kirk, Greene expressed her outrage that Democrats are actually allowed to vote in America. No, really…
Kirk: I don’t think the left would ever stop. I don’t think they’ll ever stop trying to invade our states or our county. So how do we stop them?
Greene: Well, I think that, you know, red states could choose in how they allow people to vote in their states. For example, over the past couple of years we’ve seen a mass exodus from California and New York where we’ve seen people fleeing those leftist policies and moving to states like Florida, Georgia, and Texas. […]What I think would be something that some red states could propose is, well, okay, if Democrat voters choose to flee these blue states … and they really change their mind on the types of policies that they support, well, once they move to a red state, guess what? Maybe you don’t get to vote for five years. You can live there, you can work there, but you don’t get to bring your values … so that their red states don’t get changed.

First of all, there has been no mass exodus as Greene describes. People are always moving around in the U.S. for many reasons, and many are moving from red states to blue. There’s a reason that blue states are more popular and more populous than red.
More to the point, the only reason that Greene is offering as justification for denying American citizens their right to vote is that she disagrees with their political views. Vladimir Putin will be impressed with how far she has come toward the model of “democracy” that he employs. For that matter, so would Putin’s American media assets, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. As a matter of fact, Hannity has already told Greene that “I actually favor that idea.”
There is also a glaring logical breakdown in Greene’s proposal. She argues that Democrats are fleeing blue states because “they really change their mind on the types of policies that they support.” So if these alleged Democrats now support the policies of red Republican states, why would she want to prohibit them from voting? Is it just punishment for their past voting record?
Greene also said that she is “a big believer in defending our ability to pursue life and liberty and happiness [but that] the left is completely destroying that for those of us on the right.” In other words, democracy, wherein people vote for the principles they favor, is destroying the right’s pursuit of happiness. So her solution is to revoke the voting rights of everyone she disagrees with?
You have to wonder how she would respond to a reciprocal policy to deny Republicans the right to vote for five years after they move to a blue state like New York or California – or her own blue-trending state of Georgia? Of course, no Democrat would ever propose anything so oppressive, so anti-democratic, and so downright stupid. For Greene, on the other hand, it’s painfully typical…

Fox Nation vs. Reality:
The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.Thanks so much for your support.
The scale of stupidity in this idiot’s brain is immeasurable! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry or both at the same time? Is she aware that Georgia is a purple state?
Ok, if you were to look in a fictional dictionary and want to see the meanings of the words: Dumb, stupid, ignorant, moron, slut, tramp, delusional, deranged, feebleminded, narcistic, arrogant, mule, snake, monster, traitor, creature, you would see a picture of Marjorie Traitor GOON beside each of these words. This blabbering creepy thing needs to slither back into the cesspool it came from and take that cowardly wimp Kevin McCarthy with it.
Hard to believe Georgia can’t do any better than that.
longtail: I can attest that Georgia can’t do any better than that, I have lived here in Georgia all of my life and i am making plans to get our of here as soon as possible. I am 68 years old and really to old to move but life here has became impossible and i can’t stand it here much longer. There are some really insane and delusional people here that are fascist GQP TUMP and MT GOON fanatics, With the exception of my immediate family that are Democrats, all of my relatives are TUMP and MTG fanatics and we don’t speak or visit any longer. I have had it. I want to go to Canada to live out what’s left of my life so i can at least have some peace and not have to even look at these insane nutso people anymore. If i can’t get into Canada, I want to move to a blue state in the New England area. I know the weather is cold there in the winter, but i have plenty of warm overcoats and long undies. The only people that are sane here in Georgia are the great black people that live here, and there are very few of them in my area. It is a sad situation here in Georgia now and i am beyond sick of living here.
I’m thinking of a recent podcast of Trump Jr. during which he and large Marge are discussing John Fetterman recently admitting himself into Walter Reed for depression. An extremely nice man who has accomplished so much in government. But these ne’er do wells found it necessary to discuss his basic cognitive ability, calling him a “vegetable senator”. Talking about someone else’s brain? Nausea provoking Maggie two shoes. One conspiracy theory after another. So that one has no chance to breathe in between.
These 2 looney retarded baboons are the ones that need to be in a hospital, a mental institution, and they have the damn nerve to spew bad things about Mr. Fetterman? I recently wrote a nice letter to Mr. Fetterman encouraging him to hang in there and get better soon, i also wrote, ” we need you very much in our Senate to fight off the domestic terrorist GQP party.” I went through what he did way back in the year 2003 with the severe depression thing and it took me 6 months of treatment with different anti-depressants to get over that. Before TUMP and his evil regime, i never went around saying i hated anyone, but these despots are so evil and so horrible i have to say, ”i hate and despise all of the extremists in the Rethuglican party. I cannot understand how they keep getting away with their terrorist actions. These asshats would already be in prison in any other free Democratic nation in the entire world, the United States has gone to hell in a handbasket, and let the domestic terrorists say and do anything they want to. A group of these terrorists started this uprising in Canada about 2 years ago (they were from the United States) and they were promptly taken to the US/ Canada border and were told if they came back they would spend years in a Canadian prison. TUMP, MTG, and all of these loudmouth liars should be in prison right now.
I’m not sure Marjorie Taylor-Green floating fascist ideas is news but I suppose it needs to be reported.
