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.
Great.
Sorry but it’s absolutely true and she’s absolutely right after this election.
America is a racist nation.
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.
I’ve been looking into options. Spain has my interest.
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.
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.
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.
Half of every American won’t forget it in their lifetime ever again, that their twisted views are the right thing to believe. Poor other half that will have to endure this daily from now on. F
“Think about how stupid the average American is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

They should install a turbine onto Carlin’s grave because he’s spinning so fast right now that he could power a small city.
That’s clean energy, the incoming government won’t care until he turns to oil.
I love that we have data to back that up now.
I don’t :/
She’s 100% the mainstream in the south.
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 :(
Nope, every damn swing state, every Midwest State, every damn state even the blue ones that had Democrats and progressives sitting out showed me that America is A-fucking-okay with racism and misogyny.
Sorry but the nation isn’t better than this.
Dude Trump didn’t win because more people voted for him he got the exact same amount of votes every time he ran.
Trump won this time because people didn’t vote for Kamala.
Yep. But try to tell them theyre at fault at least partially and they’ll just screech about Democrats for not being mind readers.
Sure but let’s not down play how fucking god awful Democratic leadership is too.
I mean honestly, the people told them, “Hey, we’re fucking idiots and we don’t understand how the economy works and we have the memory of a goldfish and forgot that Trump tanked the economy to begin with due to a completely botched COVID response but fuck you egg prices are high and I don’t understand bird flu”
And not a single leader went and said “Hey maybe we should listen to the common worker, even if they’re a little slow, and campaign hard on that since we have actual solutions!”
Sigh, just so much stupidity everywhere but still a pox on all of those non-voters for condoning all of this racist shit in the end.
I’m terrified that she’s right. And I think she’s right.
After Tuesday, I must conclude she is right.
I’ve never been so embarrassed about my country. The fear hasn’t even hit me yet.
Somehow even as a minority, it’s actually kind of cathartic to finally know what America is officially.
I still believe the sane people are the majority. However, they have clearly failed in their civic duties to show up to vote.
If you claim that sane people are the majority yet insane things happen, then everyone is insane.
And they want to make education worse…
She’s wrong and right at the same time…
not a right-wing extremist ❌
mainstream American ✅
Yes, yes she is. I’m sorry to tell you that an obscene amount of americans could only be dumber if they were born as a stone. And another stupidly high part are also as evil as it comes.
Democrats are already seeking her endorsement for 2028.
I’m willing to bet a significant amount of American dollars that if she would have endorsed Harris, Harris would have accepted it.
I guess so since Democrats reaching out for Liz Cheney and getting her endorsement didn’t pan out.
How do I report a homicide on lemmy?
That’s not how that works.
The average mainstream American likes Christmas.
The average mainstream American doesn’t own 90 ugly Christmas Sweaters so they can wear a different one every day for 2 months.You are the latter.
I like how the summary ends. It gives me hope of some backstabbing and conflicts over nepotism.
That’s my primary hope. Musk and Peter Thiel have hated each other since the PayPal days, and I’m hoping the Thiel picked administration members butt heads with the Trump/Musk campaign and nothing gets done because they’ll act like backstabby high schoolers.
If only backstabby enough…
RFK Jr seing a dead billionaire’s body: is it for meee owo
A way to get a title of a honorary leftie.
That’s the problem.
She’s right.
Yeah, America IS FUCKED
Which is exactly why everyone is disappointed with this election.
It’s not disappointment with what the dems did or didn’t do.
It’s the disappointment now knowing that America is dumber than initially expected and more out of touch of what’s actually happening around them.
