Summary

Far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claims that Donald Trump’s recent election win validates her position as part of “mainstream America” rather than the “fringe.”

Greene, known for her controversial conspiracy theories, argued on conservative outlet Real America’s Voice that Trump’s supporters align with her beliefs.

With speculation that she might join Trump’s cabinet, Greene asserted that loyal MAGA supporters should be prioritized for roles in his administration over newcomers like RFK Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy, emphasizing her unwavering support for Trump and his policies.

I guess so since Democrats reaching out for Liz Cheney and getting her endorsement didn’t pan out.

I’m willing to bet a significant amount of American dollars that if she would have endorsed Harris, Harris would have accepted it.

We won’t have midterms, let alone a 2028 election.

Through all of this, this has more or less been the toughest pill to swallow. It’s not a vocal minority, it’s all of them. I had hopes that enough of them would be turned off by the rhetoric and rape, but I’ve been proven wrong. Absolute zero empathy for humanity. I can only hope that these worthless people are hurt first and hurt worst by the upcoming administration.

They will. The ACA is gonna be destroyed, FEMA is going to be destroyed, shit they are even going to take away the NOAA weather alerts because it will “promote climate change.” They won’t even have warnings before they hit and no money after.

Fuck them all. Especially the motherfuckers in Georgia who decided to sit this election out.

May the seas swallow them all.

This election has shown me that my values aren’t compatible with most other Americans, and that is very hard to understand. I’m looking for the best alternative.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no best alternative.

Republicans are full on racist, fascist, crazy people.

Greens are all the above with the rotted veneer of liking the environment.

Libertarians are all the above plus more racist and crazy minus the environment.

Democrats are incompetent, won’t let go of being Republican-lite, and are unreliable allies like MLK warned about.

Progressives are petulant, instant gratification demanding, iPhone attention span, unreliable allies that MLK warned about.

Right now, I’m just going to go full independent and stop trying to fix any of this shit show and concentrate on just surviving and making sure my kids have an out. I’ve got no confidence in anything in this nation that isn’t better than this so fix it yourselves, I’m out.

Why?

Everyone who agrees with you just didn’t vote. Sure that made trump win but the populace is stupid and doesn’t pay attention. Most ppl don’t really know how bad it will be.

There are way more of us than there are of them.

I fear we are at the point where our numbers no longer matter. Protests will be met with violence from the state. The military will be used against political rivals. The populace will be given a mold and will be punished for breaking out of it.

Spaniards have recently been known to throw bananas at black football (soccer in American) players, I’m not sure they’re a particularly viable alternative.

She’s 100% right across the country as a whole. You don’t have 15 million people missing from voting and condoning racism wholesale and not admit your a racist country.

No, she’s 25-30% of the country as a whole.

But she’s the south 100% through and through.

The terrifying thing is: The massive toxic landfill that is the south is leaking :(
