All Marj is after is publicity. And all the Dems have to do is walk past her like she doesn't exist. Then soon enough Marj's publicity will be when tourists come to see her do her Mad Woman Ranting On The Subway routine. The late-night comedy circuit and all standups would love that.
 
Yep just ignore the trolls. That always works.

Until one of her followers shoots up another Pizza Parlor or storm the Capital and kill people again.

I'll say it again, give Marj a break. It's not like she has anything else to do. Other representatives are doing things like working on committee assignments. Marj is just roaming the hallways doing nothing.

Except demanding full procedures on various minor bipartisan votes, which ticks off members of both parties since it wastes so much time.

No, it's not "Ignore the troll". It's forcing her to make her own stupid news rather than giving her the oxygen of confrontation. Perhaps a better response from the Dems would be public pity. "Yeah, that's just Marj. She's a little bit...*draws circles in the air* She really needs therapy, so to help her recover we try not to...how to say this nicely...provoke her condition. It's sad, really. Next question?"
 
The problem with Marjorie Greene is, she's not going to stop her antics. She can't. The kind of confrontation she staged with AOC is what she does. It's her new 'job.' Below is a quote I posted from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper last month.
Two days after U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed articles of impeachment against newly inaugurated President Joe Biden, Nashville, Tennessee, real estate developer Bill Acree donated $100 to her reelection campaign...He is among hundreds of conservatives across the nation who poured $3.2 million into Greene’s campaign account during the first three months of 2021, making the freshman lawmaker one of the U.S. House’s most prolific fundraisers. Many of them follow her on social media sites such as Twitter or Facebook or watch her on conservative cable TV channels defending former President Donald Trump and saying the general election had been stolen from him...In the House, Greene’s fundraising during that period lagged only Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who collected $4 million. Greene essentially tied with U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, the Republican whip and a 13-year veteran of the chamber. Journal-Constitution link

As a former Republican consultant says, Greene can't shut up. She's in a feedback loop with her supporters. They send her cash, lots of it, she provides entertainment. :(

Like professional wrestling- that quote is MTG a short step away from thumping her chest with her fists, then going after AOC with a chair or something.
 
Perhaps MTG now needs to be given some committee appointments so that she doesn't so much spare time on her hands. I can think of a few that would be right up her alley and where she can't to very much damage.

Agriculture: Sub-committee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management
Agriculture: Sub-committee on Biotechnology, Horticulture and Research
Agriculture: Sub-committee on Livestock and Foreign Agriculture
Agriculture: Sub-committee on Nutrition, Oversight and Department Operations

Transport: Sub-committee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management

Science, Space, and Technology: Sub-committee on Research and Technology (where she could spend time looking for evidence of Jewish Space Lasers)

Ways & Means: Sub-committee on Social Security
Ways & Means: Sub-committee on Trade
Ways & Means: Sub-committee on Worker and Family Support

I hate to say it but I'm pretty sure she could do massive damage in any of those.

Engage the audience, not the troll. You don't ignore what the troll is trying to sell--just the troll personally, since direct confrontation only feeds them.

But you absolutely pay attention to what the audience is listening to and compose your communication accordingly.
 
I think she wants to be the queen of the deplorable. What she doesn't realize is that the deplorable prefer kings so she will never be more than an entertaining mascot to them.
 
Yeah but the Right has an entire troll army on its side that says we're not allowed to find stuff like this worrisome because that means we're being "dramatic."

Don't expect it to get any better. It's going to be a race to the bottom.

On her very best day, lantern-jawed MTG is nothing more than a carny, a side-show grifter; the problem is that a large percentage of the U.S. voting public doesn't care as long as she mouths the same sort of imbecilities they espouse.
 
Also a "Real American Patriot" who takes this kind of "hands on" approach to personally straight up harassing a 'Librul instead of just debating them on the floor is probably a step up in a lot of people's eyes.

Again once you realize that they are operating under the "I am inherently right by simple law of nature" all of this makes sense.

Well it's the exact same sort of thinking that makes people espouse religion, cults of personality and conspiracy theories, when you think about it.

It's the sort of thing that education seeks to combat, but then religions, cults of personality and conspiracy theorists don't want that. It hurts their enrollment quotas.
