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.
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*Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Greene suggested the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had been replaced by a body double.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".
