The Possible Future of the Republican Party

 Marjory Taylor-Greene was elected to Georgia's 14th congressional district in November, 2020. That's not bad for a woman who initially filed for the state's 6th district, the one she actually lived in. Taylor-Greene was able to switch races because Georgia law allows a person to run for any seat so long as they are a legal resident of the state. If the same sort of statute applied to Oklahoma a person living in Idabel could run to represent the greater Boise City metroplex which sits 567 miles northwest.

The reason for her decision was fairly simple. The GOP incumbent, Tom Graves had decided not to run again. In addition the 14th is solidly republican, so much so it is rated as the 10th most republican district in the nation. On the other hand, the 6th, isn't a sure thing since its roots dip into the Atlanta suburbs and the heart of democratic territory in Georgia. 

And honestly, Marjory Taylor-Greene needed a sure thing to win, because, you see, she is bat shit crazy.

As late as 2017 Taylor-Greene was posting on social media accusations that Hillary Clinton was guilty of things like pedophilia, human sacrifice, and the murder of political enemies. The future Congresswoman was also a proponent of the pizza gate nonsense. In other words she has been an avid fan of the exquisitely amorphic alt right, alt reality guru, Q.

During that heady first year of Donald Trump's presidency Ms. Taylor-Greene posted a video on Facebook which featured her saying, "There's a once in a life time opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles out and I think we have the president to do it." 

A little less than two years ago she was saying a plane didn't hit the Pentagon on 9-11 and despite that big hole in the building there was no evidence of it ever happening. During the same time frame she claimed the entire nightmare of 9-11 was a U.S. government plot.

Indeed that pesky and wildly sneaky American government has always been in on evil shit. According to Taylor-Greene the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary and the one at Parkland, FL, Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018 were both false flag operations designed to whip up support for anti gun legislation. To prove how globalist the anti gun movement was she said the same thing about the massacre at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, although she never identified which flag was being--well--falsified.  

During her campaign last fall there was a feeble attempt to step away from all the previous madness. She remained mum on Q during the race and told the media she had found, "misinformation," on sites dedicated to it. However she never expressed regret for any of her previous writings and videos. Just as she never admitted some of that damnable misinformation might have come directly from her. 

Hey, as they say, we all must move on.

When she reached congress less than three weeks ago she immediately began screeching Georgia's governor and secretary of state, both life long republicans, had either been duped by Stacey Abrams, or sold Trump down the river for personal gain. Just to make sure we know she isn't fucking around the day after Joe Biden was inaugurated Taylor-Greene filed an article of impeachment claiming Biden had abused the power of his office.

This would be darkly comical, but given the events of January 6th and the unyielding insanity of people like Taylor-Greene and those who listen to her any humor is ill placed. Indeed, she and the like minded might be nuts, but so was Herr Hitler and the rest of his crew and look where that got Germany.

Yes, this is the horrific state of politics in America at the moment. Ladies and gentlemen meet, the gentlewoman from Georgia and the possible future of the republican party, Marjory Taylor-Greene.
