Today’s performance was by far the most deranged of her acts, but it boggles the mind how it is possible for the people of her district to elect her. Not once, not twice, but three times. What is wrong with people?!?!?!

Never been to Georgia - eh? I married a Georgia girl - she always said Georgia was a GREAT state - to be FROM. She never went back. They still call the Civil War The War of Northern Aggression - and her Me-maw (Grandmother) was fond of saying "We'll forgive the Yankees just as soon as they bring back the silverware." It's like a Southern Gothic novel - but it's real life...

Memaw should get her silverware back when she pays the back wages her family owed their slaves.

That's the fundamental hypocrisy of Southern apologists.

With one breath they accuse black people of being unable to move on from slavery and with the next they whine about losing the Civil War.

They’ve never gotten over it. It’s generational trauma.🤷‍♂️

Well, that kind of trauma can lead to generational anger, and resentment. Hence they’re current agenda.

Bridget Collins's avatar

Right.

Because their "generational trauma" of losing a war they started is just so so worse than decades of slavery and then their spending the next hundred years using sharecropping & the penal code to get continue economic enslavement of black and poor people?

🙄

Next time they secede, let them.

No, never had the pleasure of visiting GA. I do live in Texas (not Texas native), albeit in a widely democratic urban area, so had my fair share of interesting conversations while traveling the state’s rural areas. I do understand and allow for some prejudices in deep rural conservative areas, however, it is inconceivable how her outrageous performance didn’t turn away even the most staunch republican supporter. Is that how the majority of her district see themselves? If true, it is deeply disturbing.

They are very poor, very uneducated people... they are angry and constantly fed disinformation to keep their anger alive. They are probably nutritionally under-nourished and sleep deprived... exactly the kind of voters this Authoritarian Regime want to procure and nurture.

Just right. By "uneducated" you call out folks whose parents screamed full force at them, and who as infants, couldn't escape. I see it in the Dollar Generals here. I wanted to call 911!

I’m also a liberal… I lived in GA for 30 years… The area she represents is Rome, GA. It’s a very small, beautiful place w/magnificent older, Victorian Homes, loaded w/ southern charm & plenty of old money!!!

The issue is the area is 100% White & EVANGELICAL!!! The majority of Southerners vote Conservative, and always have… It’s a Generational issue…

More diverse educated or not. areas of GA vote differently… This can be said for all states… PS As I’ve discovered, ignorance exists in both Red States & Blue States… Colorado idiots in a small area continue to vote for Lauren Bo-Bo-head!?!

Too many voters in PA, voted Red…

Blue states turned Red in2024, due to all that refused to vote for Kamala… or didn’t vote at all… Today, in the midst of US DISASTER… there are those so called people who still are happy to be MAGACITES!?!?!🧐🥵

Fox feeds people the lies they’re hungry to hear - that’s the underlying problem with hate and propaganda media - it tells ignorant and hateful people they’re the very best people. No one commands greater loyalty than the one that validates people’s basest impulses…

We wonder the same thing about Jasmine Crockett. Yeah, the one whose comment about Gov. Abbott shows how she feels about people with special needs.

She wasn’t referring to his wheelchair condition and she explained it ad noseum.

It is interesting that when a democrat makes one controversial remark, they get ripped apart and requested to maintain decorum, but when a MAGA performs for the circus constantly, it is accepted as norm.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye”. That is from the Bible, I thought the MAGA are oh so Christian.

Oh, so you do accept that her remark was controversial. Don’t project what MAGA does then; just accept what she said was uncalled for.

Also, I don’t do scripture smack down.

I admit Jasmine’s remark was controversial, and she could have made her point differently.

MTG behavior at the press conference? I’m having a hard time coming up with any plausible excuses for that.

It's not the first time MTG has been disgustingly rude to a UK reporter. On that occasion she told the reporter to f... off. Unfortunately I have no recollection of when or where that was to provide as a reference.
