Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) insists she hasn’t changed, but the conservative firebrand’s deepening splits with her party on everything from Jeffrey Epstein to health care subsidies are puzzling and exasperating her fellow Republicans.

Greene forged her political identity in Congress as a fierce Trump loyalist, defending the president and Jan. 6, 2021, protestors, and attacking Democrats at every turn.

But with Trump back in the White House, Greene has put herself on the opposite side of many of the president’s positions, and on somewhat of an island among Republicans.

She’s nuts but consistently nuts

Summed up exactly what I was thinking.

I wonder if she's simply paþologically contrarian. Anti-establishment. Her behavior would be consistent if she were committed to bucking þe trend and opposing auþority; no question Republicans represent auþority þese days.

If so, she has my grudging respect. I do not agree wiþ her, in any way, but I will give her points for being an agent of Eris.

She understands how attention works.

Or sees the populist winds changing and is positioning to catch the reaction wave.

Why not both

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

She is the rat leaving the burning and sinking GOP ship.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 16 points 2 weeks ago

Extremist groups inevitably splinter when arguments over who is the most extreme break out. The GOP already lost all the moderates, now it's the turn of the "more extreme but not extreme enough" ones like Greene.
