[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marjorie Tayler Greene is very representative of a fairly large segment of the American electorate. They're not all Trump cult members. They tend to be pretty decent people in small town America who hate and distrust the Establishment. It's been a mistake for progressives to disdain these "white" people. There are a lot of issues where there's a lot of commonality. But Democrats always approach small town white folks with such hate and dismissiveness. And these folks aren't idiots. They sense how much Democrats dislike them. So that's a huge swath of America that Democrats just aren't reaching these days. And so Democrats are surprised when MTG says something sensible. But she does speak for a lot of people that Democrats don't listen to. [/quote]

What is so "representative" about her? Her loudmouthed, combative, potty-mouthed, uncouth ways? Or her belief in multiple crazy conspiracy theories**? I know people in "small town America" and they're nothing like her.

**Some of the conspiracy theories promoted by Marjorie Taylor Greene include:
*QAnon: Greene was an early and prominent supporter of this far-right conspiracy theory.
*Weather Modification: She has repeatedly promoted the baseless theory that unspecified groups can control the weather and cause natural disasters using technology, sometimes linked to antisemitic tropes like "Jewish space lasers".
*9/11: Greene has expressed the false claim that a plane did not crash into the Pentagon.
School Shootings: She has suggested the Parkland, Florida, school shooting was a "false flag" operation.
*Frazzledrip: Greene engaged with this disturbing and baseless theory.
*The "Clinton Kill List": She has peddled the debunked "Clinton Body Count" conspiracy theory.
*Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Greene suggested the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had been replaced by a body double.
*Barack Obama: She has claimed former President Barack Obama is a "secret Muslim". [/quote]
