Who’s more representative of the future of the GOP?

So does being elected to Congress somehow mysteriously transform somebody who was previously a monstrous fucking harpy into somebody we should all respect?
Because, I have to say, in my experience people normally become worse once they're elected.

Greene has not done anything since she has been sworn in, that should generate the media attention or the rise of Cancel Culture in the House. It's unfair and quite simply, un-American.

No, see, before she was elected she was crazier than a brickhouse rat, but when she won the seat she got sane. It's like a miraculous healing. It's like sexual healing, except instead of sexual it's electionual.

Is that in the same lexicon as "winningest"?

“Jews control the world” theories don’t have a benign history.
Maybe they’ll be mollified if Republicans only elect people that agree to stop advancing such theories after they’re elected.

Isn't a "Jews control the world" theory a form of identity politics?

Yes. That was my apparently poorly stated point.

Sorry ( a stereotypical Canadianism) Horace, but with all due respect, I simply can't resist a little history lesson for you and maybe a few others on this topic:

I was raised in America, Renauda. You read about it.
Their vision for America was a cocktail of white supremacy, fascist ideology and American patriotism.
It's such bullshit. Attributing such hatred to us. I don't appreciate it.

Really? On the other hand the US also produced John Reed and Max Eastman. Look them up, John Reed in particular - Wiki's your friend.
But if it's any consolation things here were not much better as far as right wing nutters and anti-Semites:

I probably don't agree with whatever ideas are being said by whatever people you are quoting. Get specific or get lost, or, better yet, get better friends.

I want you to consider some of the things said or done by Omar, AOC, Sheila Jackson Lee, Bang -a-Wang and others, who have not had any committee assignments taken away.
Greene has not done anything since she has been sworn in, that should generate the media attention or the rise of Cancel Culture in the House. It's unfair and quite simply, un-American.

Sure she has. She has publicly sworn allegiance to all that isTrump. She believes every word out of his mouth. She is not the standard republican congress critter who is simply afraid of Trump and the votes he would lose if he ever spoke against him. She is a true koolaid drinking nut job that shouldn’t be allowed any job higher than taking your order at McDonald’s.
