I wonder if there’s a country or group of countries that will save Americans that are still decent human beings?

The way things are going, it’s getting harder and harder to see the good in America. I know not everyone is like what we see in the news, but there’s clearly enough to allow things to keep happening. I feel sorry for the regular people in America.

Yeah, I feel like I have to add in a disclaimer now whenever I tell someone I’m American. ‘Oh and btw Fuck Trump!’ lol

It is a very slim minority of very loud people who are actually evil, who have inveigled a regrettably large number of people who are not necessarily evil but are short slighted and easily manipulated into acting against their own self interest.

Being an American does kinda suck these days though as a result.

I never understand this view because most people I know are absent from any thought aside from consuming and materialistic escapism. Basically no one I know doesn’t support trump.

Ignorance is evil. It doesn’t take education to be a basic decent human being.

Having seen how the world treats Russian citizens, no.

But that is later, after things get worse. Fur now there are plenty of options for those who have money, or are brave, or talented or some combination. Everyone else here will suffer through it

There are dozens of us, I’m thinking when it gets really bad I’ll start a twelve step support group on how to deal with the fallout

I’m guessing that this is pretty straightforward politicking. A lot of the populist-right crowd in the US has historically been adamantly Protestant. Catholics were also a big issue for the KKK, too.

Her district is Georgia’s 14th:

Hmm.

Yeah, it’s mostly not very Catholic, but Whitfield County is a notable exception. Gordon County, which is also somewhat-Catholic, isn’t in her district.

Looks like Whitfield County has a population of 103,687, so maybe an eighth of her constituents.

https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/georgia/

And it looks like that county had the weakest support for Trump of all the counties in her district (though it was still pretty overwhelmingly pro-Trump, 71.9% in favor of Trump versus 27.5% for Harris).

EDIT: Might irritate some of the MAGA crowd elsewhere in the US, though. And probably not the sort of thing that’d go over well with the right in Poland…

If evil is being defeated, why is she still alive?

Because she is a different being than the being that was defeated.

She’s still a little bitch.

What an ugly woman

I think she should really start going by her biological sex instead of just identifying as a woman. That’s a badly built butch body if it’s an actual biological woman

Can we not? MTG could look like Sofia Vergara and she’d still be an ugly piece of shit. All commenting on her appearance does here is make decent people feel bad about themselves. Transphobia doesn’t suddenly become acceptable because you’re trying to turn it back on somebody evil.

I didn’t mean it to sound transphobic I meant it to missgender her the way she does to others: https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-misgenders-sarah-mcbride-congress-transgender-bathroom-ban-1988071

I think that’s fair. So that she could understand how it feels.

Also the badly built body thing was a reference to another time she was called out.

I’m a cis woman but it’s comments like these that made me feel ashamed to be tall in high school. That may have been well-intentioned sarcastic transphobia, but when you poke fun at celebrities for their bodies, it’s only other people who hear.
