7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
"She did some stuff off the wall," said Justin Leonard, 28-year-old firefighter in Georgia's 14th congressional district, who voted for Greene twice. "Kind of making conservatives look a little right-wing and a little like nut jobs. But other than that, I think she did her job."
Justin Leonard, you're a fucking idiot.
I get what he's saying, probably because of my upbringing. But he's saying that she made conservatives look a little right wing (normal Trump) and little like nut jobs (crazy). So, hes just going an extremely round about, redundant way to say she made them look crazy. Folks in the south view conservatives as old money republicans. Even some of the newer southern dynasties have caught flak for not being hard right enough. That's why Trump was so big in those areas. They viewed him as someone who was challenging the people they felt had left them behind; take notes dems. They truly believe he's doing something different. They're just ignorant enough and stubborn enough to not see he's destroying the country.
What is interesting to me is, he's losing support with old money republicans. I'm still a part of a lot of inner circles, and these folks are done. A lot of them want to go back to talking about just money and leaving all social issues in the dust and use it as negotiating tools for more money. But younger republicans, aforementioned in the article, tend to care more about those social issues, while also believing trump has their back with the economy; ignorant.
A lot of fractures are happening in state houses across the South. You have younger, very hard-line republicans at war with the older, more manageable republicans. I saw one meeting where a speaker said, "I swear if you bring up abortion one more time, I'm shooting you on the floor. You won your little battle, we're gonna only discuss the budget now." I think the primaries are gonna go hard this year lol
I wonder what side does Leonard think that conservative fall under? Center? Surely not left-wing.
You just described half of the people in this country... On all sides.
She is bat shit insane, but at least consistent on the Epstein shit. They will only elect someone more sycophantic considering the area.
Watch them pick someone ten times stupider and even more of a racist religious fruitcake.
You are just describing a Georgian, no need to be redundant.
Hey, there are probably dozens of us Lemmy users here!
Decatur, checking in.
The only thing that stops Georgia from being a blue state is that Atlanta's population isn't quite big enough.
Didn't she already get her money so she doesn't give a fuck?
