No, idiot conspiracy theorists like Marjorie Taylor Greene do not reflect “ordinary” Americans.

During her latest stop on her photo rehabilitation tour, Marjorie Taylor Greene CNN’s Dana Bash said she was sorry for “participating in toxic politics.”

She added that it was “bad for the country.”

A week later, Greene finally did something patriotic Announcing her retirement.

It’s fair to say that MTG is one of the most famous Republican House members in the country.

However, Greene is notorious for having her Twitter posts endlessly highlighted by the media and Democrats to portray the Republican Party as a hayseed and conspiracy.

To be fair, Greene may be one of the biggest ignoramuses ever to serve in Congress, which is no mean feat when one considers that “the squad” exists.

If I asked you to name one piece of legislation that Greene sponsored, you would likely be confused.

If I asked you to name an important policy you championed, an encouraging speech you gave, or an area of ​​expertise you mastered, you wouldn’t think of any because there weren’t any.

Once the president reportedly dissuaded her from running for higher office in Georgia, Greene’s loyalty dissipated.

Having despised her, she became rudderless and useless. She had nothing left, because there wasn’t much to begin with.

Donald Trump asserted that Greene had gone “bad” and become a “ranting lunatic.”

This is wrong: I did always He was a ranting lunatic and an early adopter of the unhinged, conspiratorial notions that now infect much of the populist right.

“I have been a victim, just like you, of media lies and the things you read on social media,” Greene pleaded with the women on “The View” as she confronted her past.

It is undeniable that the collapse of (deserved) trust in both the media and experts has created a vacuum that is now being filled by a horde of hucksters.

Victims like Greene are easy marks for scammers and online propagandists because they lack an objective belief system, organizing principles, coherent worldviews, or historical perspective to repel conspiracies.

Asking questions can be a wonderful quality of a curious mind.

Asking questions like “Are the Rothschilds’ space-based solar lasers starting wildfires in California?” It makes you a paranoid person.

Of course, Greene has been involved in the Pizzagate and QAnon stuff from the beginning.

She suggested that the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas may have been orchestrated by gun control activists and questioned whether the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was a “huge false flag.”

You will be hard pressed to find a conspiracy on the “right” that you have not accepted.

Let’s also not forget that Greene was one of the first — and only — elected officials to cozy up to the group of normalized Groypers through an online NatCon Right.

Green spoke at a 2022 white nationalist rally in Florida held by Nick Fuentes, a friend of Tucker Carlson, who believes Jews are “race traitors,” denies that the Holocaust occurred and believes segregation was beneficial to black Americans.

At the time, Greene claimed ignorance of these situations, asserting that she was only there to “speak to an audience” of young people.

Not once did she confront the audience to rethink their views on identities, while basking in their applause.

Greene is either amazingly naive or an ally. With her, both options are completely reasonable.

Let’s be charitable and admit that’s the former, since Greene is no less naive these days trying to appeal to the left.

She broke up with Trump By falling into the trap of Democrats panicking over Obamacare subsidies during a government shutdown.

It bought into the Gaza “genocide” hoax just as much as it bought into Pizzagate.

Big supporter of Release of the Epstein “Files” Greene will almost certainly dive down every rabbit hole that presents itself.

I’m often told that making fun of these heroes of ordinary Americans is “elitist.” They say we need more “normal” people in Congress.

definitely. We have too many professional lawyers and activists working in Washington and too few successful Americans who understand the real-world concerns of a diverse population.

But to say that Green is an ordinary American is to assert that the average American is an idiot, and this is not true.

In fact, there are millions of “ordinary” Americans who are curious, intelligent, idealistic, and problem-solvers.

The representative for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District possesses none of these qualities.

Her resignation from Congress will take effect on January 6, 2026, just in time to begin her lifetime pension.

Greene was unable to fulfill her commitment to her constituents for two years because her feelings were hurt.

Even though it was empowered twice, they should consider themselves lucky.

We have always had embarrassingly low standards for electing officials. But it’s not often that low.
