    Marjorie Taylor Green is only capable of unleashing unhinged tirades. She is a person who only knows conspiracy theories, while thinking she sounds like a normal politician. The fact that she is probably the number 2 politician in the MAGA movement tells you all you need to know about the caliber of MAGA dopes and their total lack of self-awareness.

      In this case, since the slurs were a aimed at a white UK reporter by an unhinged white woman, it was jingoism.

      Racism is asserting an inferiority or superiority based on natural race; passively or aggressively.

      You can’t just use it any time you see two cultures or societies giving each other shit about their politics, foods, social customs, etc. The context of genealogy needs to be included, i.e. race. Jokes about British teeth are much closer to racism than what dumb-dumb said.

    Her tirade is unhinged, but MAGA’s constant repetition of the same exact false narratives about everyone from other countries is really insidious.

    Repetition is important for getting into people’s memories. Repetition makes things feel true, even if they’re not. Even if someone knows it’s false the first time they hear it, they may unconsciously start to believe it after a few repetitions. The information becomes easier to recall than the actual truth.

    I don’t know what point I’m trying to get at here, but this is the aspect of this news story that has made me the most uncomfortable. Just the reminder that the far-right knows this and they’re using it to their advantage. They’re repeating obvious falsehoods, but the rate and intensity at which they’re saying them is alarming.

      Hey, neanderthals weren’t heartless, bigoted morons, you should compare her to shit, but even that is doing a disservice to shit since that can still help the soil with nutrients, unlike her who would only poison

      That is not fair to the Neanderthals. Archeology shows us they had compassion and love for their kin. She has nothing is her tar black heart but Jewish Space Lasers.

        Kristi Noem kills puppies and I’ll debate with you about whether that makes her a hideous troll who eats Billy goats under a bridge. But Marjorie Taylor Greene is haggard and I feel no remorse when I reduce her to someone who looks like a Family Dollar ass Shrek toy.
