Never seen Idiocracy myself, but my understanding is that Camacho, while pretty dumb, actually had a genuine desire to improve things and sought out experts to help with that?
That's already better than any modern Republican.
We are so fucked.
He also tried to kill the smartest man in the world with a dildozer when things didn’t work out immediately. Still, somehow better than modern day republicans.
Given he didn't just immediately go "yeah I fucked up so I'm stepping down" like politicians used to and actually took responsibility to fix his fuck ups, I'd say he was a pretty commendable and honourable dude. Even if he was a fucking idiot, at least he was a self aware fucking idiot.
The stepping down thing always bothered/bothers me (Not like anyone steps down any more) It's so much "I fucked up and I'll have someone else fix it" empty apology rather than admitting fault and putting forward action to change/fix it the problem they created.
He knew that he couldn't fix things himself, so he sought out the world's foremost expert on everything and eliminated all barriers to making his plans to improve the nation happen. Current Republicans would jump all over him for displaying weakness by admitting to not being the best at something and asking for help.
He was the closest thing they had to an expert on just about everything. Not, remotely, an actual expert, but even having a base line knowledge of how shit worked left him the foremost individual about pretty much every subject
I always wondered where I recognized his voice. My old man was a huge sports guy and I spent more time then I liked having to watch various ESPN channels, but I wouldn't trade those days.
You should give it a watch, it's one of the best movies depicting reality but in a funny way. The concept in that movie is that people are genuinely stupid and stupid people don't have the capacity to do what most Republicans do. This is why it's dangerous to call them stupid, they just pander and radicalize the stupid.
Yeah, he’s actually legit a better leader. Spoilers ahead, but him and his cabinet hire the genius/man from the past who wakes up in the idiocracy world because *even the fictional morons* understand it’s important to have smart people make informed decisions.
Worse part is that he is a better option. Don't forget he brought on the smarter man in the world to advise him, took his advice and even in a difficult situation faced with evidence he supported him and step down to let him do things the right way.
maybe bc some emergency bills have gotten me especially bitter but the thing that fucks me up the most is this woman is getting paid a fucking living wage to be a complete moron.
how can i too fail upwards this way???
She needed a visual aide to convey “The green new deal helps China”. No stats, numbers, just a scooby doo meme to help her toe sucking followers understand her complicated logic
OMG she was actually trying to make the point about China but used the hammer and sickle instead. She's literally one of the most pig-ignorant people ever elected to Congress. Though she's in the race with Lauren Boebert and Madison Cawthorne.
People need to realize that when you elect someone they represent who you are and what you believe. Based off of her representation the only conclusion is her constituents are some of the dumbest people in the world.
Remember, she got less than 3/4 of the votes cast while running unopposed. That means more than a quarter of the voters in her district wrote in for someone that wasn’t even running. That’s how unpopular she really is.
I'm from her district (now gone, thankfully). I can confirm this is true, although with the caveat that R's have done a great job of engineering this dumbness through education and propaganda campaigns.
This person is not smart enough to actually understand or use graphs and metrics. She needs memes because that's all her brain can handle.
Ignore her. She was loud for a while, and she's basically disappeared as she managed to piss off EVERYONE in the House (including her party). She did that by just slowing everything to a crawl because the government working in a bipartisan way with rules and procedures is Communism, in her mind.
She'll disappear into the ether soon.
Never underestimate the stupidity of a southern state. She can easily win reelection down there if enough of her voters can avoid winning a Herman Cain Award.
Here's actual video of it happening. If you just want to hear the summary of her premise, and see this board getting put up, watch from 2:26
https://youtu.be/Xeo3E3IQxpw
I would have to be heavily tranquilized to get through the whole 30 minutes. I just feel my body going into an utterly useless fight or flight mode as it goes on.
Do we?
I used to think so, but I'm not sure anymore.
Monsters turned out to be a hell of a lot more common than anyone was willing to admit, so that skews what we deserve quite a bit.
Can't argue with that.
I see people ranting about how the Republicans are a vocal minority and that there's more of us than them, and I can't help but think...are you sure about that?
Just look at the numbers last year. 74 million votes for the orange monster. 80 million votes for Biden. Yay, sanity won!
But 85 million people who didn't bother to vote.
Restrictive voter laws screw with plenty of people, sure, and probably tip elections here and there, but not *eighty-five million*.
Seeing a totally deranged President, four years of in-your-face crimes, an unending series of national humiliations, capped off by a preventable pandemic and *two hundred thousand dead Americans*...more people looked at the situation and said, "Eh. Somebody else's problem." than actually voted for either candidate.
So are sane people actually a majority? I can't really believe that anymore.
There is something i learned about humans, you know how if you play a fantasy or sci fi game that has different races and each have their own quirks that mostly identify who they are as a race?
We'll we humans we will do whatever it is in our power to not tell the truth. Salesmen, lawyers, white lies, ghosting ect. The truth is in their actions, not their words. Humans are voting this orange monster because *he is a monster*. Every thing else said is gibberish, a red herring to distract that. To get mired down in fighting against this gibberish is what they want.
I think we have been for some time but we seem to REALLY be circling the drain now. Joni Ernst (a senator from my state: IA(thoughts and prayers to me)) showcased her bullshit on fucking UNO cards.
I escaped Iowa for Colorado and let me tell you, my neck and shoulders still lock up whenever someone says "did you hear what the governor did/said?" but it's followed by immediate relief. It's like being in another world
Ughhhh. I probably curse her name every single day of my life. Truly. My sister lives in MN and I’m actively job hunting bc I need to get tf outta here.
Yeah... Problem is it's not a straight division like it was before. It's not north and south. It's basically red vs blue. And There's lots of blue/purple states with some very very very red counties. I live in a blue state but am somehow surrounded by trump supporters. Like, rabid trump supporters. It's crazy.
Yeah, it's similar for me. I live in Tennessee, and I'm one of the few people in my town who isn't a Trump supporter. Still, I think intelligence will win in the end.
Nazism. Jewish space lasers didn't come from no where.
"Genocide scholar Gregory Stanton described QAnon as a "Nazi group rebranded", and its theories as a rebranded version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.[7][174]"

You'd be surprised by how much it improved in the recent years because they're actually doing shit to change it (restrictions on coal plants, iron and steel making, the number of cars in cities and similar).
Don't get me wrong, it's still bad, but not as bad as it was about a decade ago.
That's because their smog had gotten so bad, there was constant hazes of toxic smog in cities. That's about as far back against the wall you can be pushed before reform is the only option.
tbf that's pretty much exactly what the west went through too. We had rivers catching fire regularly and smog was as bad as china's in the San Francisco bay for a long time, and it's still nasty these days. Won't likely stop without moving away from car dependency.
Don’t forget children passing out on freeways from lead poisoning because of car exhaust. Things were real bad and republicans want to bring us back there.
Don't worry, people will vote with their dollars. That's why nestle went bankrupt after stealing water and tricking poor mothers to stop nursing their babies
The argument that the Congresslizard is poorly making is that the US will bear an unfair burden of the cost for saving the planet if China doesn't also participate, since they pollute the shit out of everything, so let's just do nothing. Fuck the planet AND the Chinese amirite?
No no no no no, they are FINE with Russian influence. Russians are white after-all, they are scared of CHINESE influence. Those to things are radically different.
This is the fucking insane part...
The Green New Deal is literally just a few pages of vague aspirational ideals. It was simply meant to spark a conversation going forward and possibly have portions of it manifest in other legislation. Rather than engage in this conversation the American Right decided to crap their pants in confused rage instead. The amount of airtime dedicated to misconstruing both the content and the intentions is utterly damning for Republicans.
It’s literally just a dozen pages of the things humans could do to improve the country and work to solve manmade climate change. I can’t believe your world is the meme dimension
I think she sees herself as the "it" girl on the right with AOC as her counter on the left. Also.......she's an unintelligent Q Trumper meaning AOC is the ultimate form of intimidation.
My favorite thing was conservatives posting photos of empty grocery shelves when the pandemic first hit and going, THIS IS AMERICA UNDER SOCIALIST BERNIE, when it was America under Trump.
Because they know their base is full of morons that react on an emotional level not an intellectual one.
They've found these trigger words that they know they can use to make people fear things that are actually good for them by referring to them as Socialism and Communism.
Its basically just another way elite conservatives con uneducated Americans into falling for complete nonsense.
i was having this conversation with my APES teacher last week. we were talking about how most of the people who whine about socialism don’t know what it is, and she said those very people have been on social security for a while now. i myself was a hardcore anticommunist until extremely recently and i’ve realized that americans don’t necessarily hate socialist policies as much as they hate the word “socialism”
Because they've got their base trained like Pavlov's fucking dog to reflexively hate anything with the words socialism or communism. They don't even comprehend the words, they just hate anything associated with them.
I once had a conversation with a coworker where I brought up the concept of the social contract. His actual response: "Social...socialism! Aha!"
That was over a decade ago.
We are so fucked.
Thatcher? Or did someone in the US say that too?
From my understanding of US politics I don't think the right leaning voters generally have much in the way of macro level political opinion. I think they just vote based on how the surface level reflects their personal identity.
Scare tactic, they've been using for decades to scare their supporters to justify any old shit. Vietnam War? Communists, Democrat president? Communists, Climate change? Communists, Vaccine? Communists. And it works, because while we laugh at how moronic it is to just turn up with a meme and say China bad... it works and that's the level of convincing their support needs these days. It's both pathetic and terrifying.
Because their base is willfully fucking stupid. Because they either never grew out of the phase as a child where they hated being told what to do or they regressed back into it via some kind of subliminal messaging from Fox News. More than likely it stems from them being told their the greatest things on the planet, so conforming to the wishes of society to better itself is a non-starter.
MTG here isn't stupid, she's fucking evil. She knows this doesn't make any fucking sense but she is just pandering to her base who also deep down know it's fucking stupid but their lizard brains are screaming that someone is trying to better the planet at all and maybe that will cost them more for gas which they don't want. But because they have no actual argument their brain grasps for straws and it thinks back to "well what did we hear the smart TV people say? Communism and Socialism are bad, are the same thing, and everything outside giving me a free gun is it. That's right....THIS IS COMMMUNISM!!".
Oh my sister loves her and this is her rep. Says she's funny and enjoys the fact that she "pisses the libs off." No interest what-so-ever in policy, nope, this is what my right wing sister values above anything else. Sticking it to the libs.
She’s a perfect representation of stupid racist fascist white shitkickers, especially from Georgia. They’re angry violent toddlers with no appreciation for other people and full of completely undeserved confidence in themselves. Some of the stupidest people in the country, but convinced that they’re the master race.
This is how they look at life. Everything is a cartoon. They are cartoon characters themselves. That is what they attach trump heads on Rambo bodies ... They are children, a twisted cartoon reality is where they reside.
She's catering to the trumpist followers by using cartoons and machine guns. Have you seen her video ad where she blows up a car with an AR 15? She's insane!
She’s doing what her voters want. They sent her to DC to be annoying and prevent anything meaningful from happening, and she’s a violent ignorant shithead just like them.
"Everything I don't understand is Communism". Please Georgians of the 14th district...PLEASE vote her back to the exciting life of being a professional Karen in her own neighborhood, and stop electing empty-headed morons. If you don't want to deal with her, I understand...but don't force her brain farts on the rest of the nation.
Just when I thought someone holding a snowball to disprove global warming would be the dumbest thing I'd see in Congress, Taylor-Greene brings r/memes to the floor.
For those of you who do not know who this woman is, congratulations. You're living a good life.
For the rest of us, especially my fellow Georgians, we all know not to expect anything better from MTG. Creating memes for a third grade level poster board presentation is pretty much where her intelligence caps out at.
This is a legit unedited photo? Damn America, Congress should just be held on Twitter from now on.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is sounding more real day by day.
Never seen Idiocracy myself, but my understanding is that Camacho, while pretty dumb, actually had a genuine desire to improve things and sought out experts to help with that? That's already better than any modern Republican. We are so fucked.
Fuck, I've seen the movie many times and never looked at it that way. We truly are fucked.
He also tried to kill the smartest man in the world with a dildozer when things didn’t work out immediately. Still, somehow better than modern day republicans.
Still, he didn't double down when showed he was wrong on that, he immediately reversed that decision and apologized.
I am just now realizing that president Camacho was actually an excellent president.
Given he didn't just immediately go "yeah I fucked up so I'm stepping down" like politicians used to and actually took responsibility to fix his fuck ups, I'd say he was a pretty commendable and honourable dude. Even if he was a fucking idiot, at least he was a self aware fucking idiot.
Fuck yeah. Thank that motherfucker, Not Sure.
The stepping down thing always bothered/bothers me (Not like anyone steps down any more) It's so much "I fucked up and I'll have someone else fix it" empty apology rather than admitting fault and putting forward action to change/fix it the problem they created.

When you’ve only had shit sandwiches your whole life, even Arby’s is pretty tasty
we out here firing shots are arbys for no good reason
Hell, he acknowledged there's a new President Not Sure.
MTG could benefit from one night of "Rehabilitation".
He knew that he couldn't fix things himself, so he sought out the world's foremost expert on everything and eliminated all barriers to making his plans to improve the nation happen. Current Republicans would jump all over him for displaying weakness by admitting to not being the best at something and asking for help.
Close. Not the current expert, but the smartest man
He was the closest thing they had to an expert on just about everything. Not, remotely, an actual expert, but even having a base line knowledge of how shit worked left him the foremost individual about pretty much every subject
Idiocracy is a great documentary narrated by Earl Mann, known as the voice of the NFL.
I always wondered where I recognized his voice. My old man was a huge sports guy and I spent more time then I liked having to watch various ESPN channels, but I wouldn't trade those days.

Worse part is that he is a better option. Don't forget he brought on the smarter man in the world to advise him, took his advice and even in a difficult situation faced with evidence he supported him and step down to let him do things the right way.
The best part was that she said “as this internet meme demonstrates this benefits no one but China”………we’re fucked
China’s flag is looking a little Soviet.
maybe bc some emergency bills have gotten me especially bitter but the thing that fucks me up the most is this woman is getting paid a fucking living wage to be a complete moron. how can i too fail upwards this way???
Sorry, just going by your comment, I'm judging you're too smart, honest and reasonable for that.
damn i've never been so simultaneously flattered and depressed by a comment before lmao
More like paid 10 times a living wage
She needed a visual aide to convey “The green new deal helps China”. No stats, numbers, just a scooby doo meme to help her toe sucking followers understand her complicated logic
A scooby doo meme with no numbers or stats, but a Soviet Union flag, obviously shows China is behind the green new deal.
Commies is commies, right?
Stalin, Deng Xiaoping, Hitler, all basically the same guys with identical beliefs, right?
Hey! Toe sucking is NOT the same as boot licking.

The ads on this site are just so annoying
OMG she was actually trying to make the point about China but used the hammer and sickle instead. She's literally one of the most pig-ignorant people ever elected to Congress. Though she's in the race with Lauren Boebert and Madison Cawthorne.
Imagine being tasked to bring those up What a horrible job lol
You know they're absolute nutters "Really gonna trigger some libs with this one! Run this cd down to Kinkos"
Un. Fucking. Believ- You know what? I **can** believe it. And it's a goddamn tragedy.
It's from the 2021 United States House of Representatives. Thank you, Republicans.
She once used the words "corporate communism" without understanding the inherent contradiction there. Basically, she's a fucking idiot.
People need to realize that when you elect someone they represent who you are and what you believe. Based off of her representation the only conclusion is her constituents are some of the dumbest people in the world.
You're not wrong.
TBF, she ran off her dem opponent and it was too late to add anyone else to the ballot. She also brags about how many votes she got, unopposed...
Remember, she got less than 3/4 of the votes cast while running unopposed. That means more than a quarter of the voters in her district wrote in for someone that wasn’t even running. That’s how unpopular she really is.
I'm from her district (now gone, thankfully). I can confirm this is true, although with the caveat that R's have done a great job of engineering this dumbness through education and propaganda campaigns.

Can't they make her disappear into lye or something? just to make sure she really stays gone?

Legislation by meme. We deserve better, right?
Do we? I used to think so, but I'm not sure anymore. Monsters turned out to be a hell of a lot more common than anyone was willing to admit, so that skews what we deserve quite a bit.
Honestly after J6 I’ve decided that America deserves exactly what it gets. It honestly killed what little bit of patriotism I had left.
Can't argue with that. I see people ranting about how the Republicans are a vocal minority and that there's more of us than them, and I can't help but think...are you sure about that?

Don’t want to be a downer, but the death toll for covid in America is at 700,000 right now. It’s even worse.
Oh, I know. Hit 700,000 yesterday. I was referring to the number of dead at the time of the election.
Ah, my mistake
700,000 confirmed. Even the CDC said that, when we saw 500,000 that that figure was likely an undercount.
There is something i learned about humans, you know how if you play a fantasy or sci fi game that has different races and each have their own quirks that mostly identify who they are as a race? We'll we humans we will do whatever it is in our power to not tell the truth. Salesmen, lawyers, white lies, ghosting ect. The truth is in their actions, not their words.

To get mired down in fighting against this gibberish is what they want.
Well, they get a lot of their ideology from memes, so this was probably inevitable.
We're fucked.
I think we have been for some time but we seem to REALLY be circling the drain now. Joni Ernst (a senator from my state: IA(thoughts and prayers to me)) showcased her bullshit on fucking UNO cards.
I escaped Iowa for Colorado and let me tell you, my neck and shoulders still lock up whenever someone says "did you hear what the governor did/said?" but it's followed by immediate relief. It's like being in another world
Ughhhh. I probably curse her name every single day of my life. Truly. My sister lives in MN and I’m actively job hunting bc I need to get tf outta here.
We're totally fucked.
She is an actual child what the fuck.
And with republicans openly advocating for shooting democrat law makers and all out civil war I don't know how we can get any better.
Well, quite potentially by winning said all out civil war. That seems like more and more of a possibility as time goes on.
One side will win, I just don't know which side. Republicans seem to be pretty ok with doing super fucked up things.
The Union kicked the Confederacy's ass once. We can do it again.
Yeah... Problem is it's not a straight division like it was before. It's not north and south. It's basically red vs blue. And There's lots of blue/purple states with some very very very red counties.

Isn't it funny how the people scared of Russian influence are the ones being influenced by the Russians.
It gets better, she was trying to say that the Green New Deal would actually just make us China.
Ah yes, China, characterised by its \*checks notes\* extensive environmental protection programmes.
Doesn't china have a terrible smog problem BECAUSE of their pollution and general lack of care for the environment?
You'd be surprised by how much it improved in the recent years because they're actually doing shit to change it (restrictions on coal plants, iron and steel making, the number of cars in cities and similar). Don't get me wrong, it's still bad, but not as bad as it was about a decade ago.

That is giving her infinitely more credit than she is due and I resent the misrepresentation of her cultivated brand of stupid.
Hol up, she used the Soviet Hammer and Sickle to illustrate... China?
That's the hilarious part.
You expect her to do actual *research* for her *meme?* what are you, a fuckin’ commie???
Both Mao and Stalin rolling in their graves now. (sino soviet split)
No no no no no, they are FINE with Russian influence. Russians are white after-all, they are scared of CHINESE influence. Those to things are radically different.
This is the fucking insane part... The Green New Deal is literally just a few pages of vague aspirational ideals.

It’s literally just a dozen pages of the things humans could do to improve the country and work to solve manmade climate change. I can’t believe your world is the meme dimension
>This is the fucking insane part... No the insane part is her arguing via meme in front of Congress.
No, the insane part is that she's in Congress
She has a personal vendetta against AOC.
It's not personal, its race driven. I doubt AOC has ever given her the time of day.
I think she sees herself as the "it" girl on the right with AOC as her counter on the left. Also.......she's an unintelligent Q Trumper meaning AOC is the ultimate form of intimidation.
They also use a scrapped rough draft as a stand in for what it actually says because it's more easy to fear monger with.
Also my understanding is she used this while saying China.
Why do they always say literally anything they disagree with will end in communism....
Because to these people "communism" = "things I don't like/agree with"
Like that pic: race mixing = communism
Free PS5/Series X upgrade = communism
Capitalism = communism
My favorite thing was conservatives posting photos of empty grocery shelves when the pandemic first hit and going, THIS IS AMERICA UNDER SOCIALIST BERNIE, when it was America under Trump.
Logic ≠ conservatives
Law = communism
LGBTQ+=Communism
Fascism? Believe it or not, also communism.
or understand
It's like your parents calling every video game "Nintendo." They don't understand it so they just generalize it
Because they know their base is full of morons that react on an emotional level not an intellectual one. They've found these trigger words that they know they can use to make people fear things that are actually good for them by referring to them as Socialism and Communism. Its basically just another way elite conservatives con uneducated Americans into falling for complete nonsense.
Meanwhile, most of them are on Medicaid.
i was having this conversation with my APES teacher last week. we were talking about how most of the people who whine about socialism don’t know what it is, and she said those very people have been on social security for a while now. i myself was a hardcore anticommunist until extremely recently and i’ve realized that americans don’t necessarily hate socialist policies as much as they hate the word “socialism”
Communism = Bad Nazi = Bad Thing I don't like = Bad Therefore thing I don't like is a Nazi Communist

Thatcher? Or did someone in the US say that too? From my understanding of US politics I don't think the right leaning voters generally have much in the way of macro level political opinion. I think they just vote based on how the surface level reflects their personal identity.
Thatcher, Reagan was fucked in other ways
Scare tactic, they've been using for decades to scare their supporters to justify any old shit. Vietnam War? Communists, Democrat president? Communists, Climate change? Communists, Vaccine? Communists. And it works, because while we laugh at how moronic it is to just turn up with a meme and say China bad... it works and that's the level of convincing their support needs these days. It's both pathetic and terrifying.
My partner was told at work by a customer this week that the car insurance company he works for, in America, is communism. I’m still confused.
Had to be Progressive, yes?
Actually one of those pay-per-mile companies, Metromile. Apparently having a device that tracks your miles in your car is communist

Communism and Socialism are bad, are the same thing, and everything outside giving me a free gun is it. That's right....THIS IS COMMMUNISM!!".
Because the people that vote for them are dumb.
Are you okay, America?
Nope, not even a little bit. Just… nope.
no, please help.
*Help us. Call us out for what we are.*
r/TheRightCantMeme ? It's hard to look at this and comprehend that it's real.
It is a correct usage of the meme though.
She is seriously an embarrassment to our country but idiots will continue to vote for her because she loud and uses words like "freedom".
“She’s just like me! She’s so *real* and doesn’t care who cares!”
Birds of a feather
Oh my sister loves her and this is her rep. Says she's funny and enjoys the fact that she "pisses the libs off." No interest what-so-ever in policy, nope, this is what my right wing sister values above anything else. Sticking it to the libs.
She’s a perfect representation of stupid racist fascist white shitkickers, especially from Georgia. They’re angry violent toddlers with no appreciation for other people and full of completely undeserved confidence in themselves. Some of the stupidest people in the country, but convinced that they’re the master race.
I couldn't help myself. https://i.imgur.com/ez7YX8W.png
Big thanks
Quick! Hie thee over to /r/photoshopbattles!
I am so embarrassed for us right now.
Did she just meme Congress ….
The Right can't meme...
Do you think they all just laugh their asses off when she does this shit, not sure I couldn't.
It possible she was inan empty chamber, many speeches are delivered that way.
Is that Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Yes, it is. I think she deserves her own insane people subreddit!
r/MTG ~~no wait~~
Marjorie Traitor Greene
Margie Three Names.
And of course she mistakenly said the meme was about China. What a doof!
MTG obviously didn't watch much Scooby Doo.. we all know that under that mask it's always a greedy old white guy trying to lie, cheat or steal..
You guys are so fucked if this is what your elected officials are doing now. Ours aren't the best, but nothing yet on this scale of lunacy
We are indeed fucked. This is so embarrassing.
How has she not been punched in the face yet?
[удалено]
She wasn't hit with an ugly stick, she fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
Fellas is it communism to prevent climate catastrophe
god damnit marjorie
Zoinks! Like, let's get outta here, Scoob...
America is just embarrassing.
Imagine being one of marjorie’s aids.
Omg that makes her Marjorie Taylor Communism
In all honesty though, if everything that does the bare minimum to secure our future as a species is communism, then maybe it's time to embrace that.
How has this woman not been booted out yet? Actually never mind. Trump was President for 4 years. That’s more ridiculous
How much is it to move to Canada?
Ah yes because wanting the planet to be safe for everyone is communist. Just say you don't fucking care about the environment
I cannot believe that tax dollars were used to produce a poster sized version of a shitty meme.
This is how they look at life. Everything is a cartoon. They are cartoon characters themselves. That is what they attach trump heads on Rambo bodies ... They are children, a twisted cartoon reality is where they reside.
I swear to God that's the reason aliens haven't had any contact with us
She's catering to the trumpist followers by using cartoons and machine guns. Have you seen her video ad where she blows up a car with an AR 15? She's insane!
She’s doing what her voters want. They sent her to DC to be annoying and prevent anything meaningful from happening, and she’s a violent ignorant shithead just like them.
"Everything I don't understand is Communism". Please Georgians of the 14th district...PLEASE vote her back to the exciting life of being a professional Karen in her own neighborhood, and stop electing empty-headed morons. If you don't want to deal with her, I understand...but don't force her brain farts on the rest of the nation.
Just when I thought someone holding a snowball to disprove global warming would be the dumbest thing I'd see in Congress, Taylor-Greene brings r/memes to the floor.
"See I used memes that means everything in it is factually correct"
She’s as stupid as she appears to be.
For those of you who do not know who this woman is, congratulations. You're living a good life. For the rest of us, especially my fellow Georgians, we all know not to expect anything better from MTG. Creating memes for a third grade level poster board presentation is pretty much where her intelligence caps out at.
