MTG defends protester shot by DHS and says people need to lose their ‘blinders’: ‘You are all being incited into civil war’

5 months ago by MicroWave to c/politics

‘Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm,’ the former Georgia congresswoman wrote

Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”

“I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,” Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.

“Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”

Despite video showing that 37-year-old Pretti was filming federal officers but did not have a weapon drawn, the Trump administration has claimed he had tried to assassinate agents in an act of “domestic terrorism.”

National divorse is in no way a euphemism for civil war. There's literally a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government, that's what national divorse means.

A convention of states to amend the constitution; explicitly saying that specific state is no longer apart of the U.S., or inserting another legal route of succession into the constitution.

Much easier, and at the same time much more difficult than civil war.

Uh, no. That's not a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government; that's a constitutional way to amend the constitution.

And why would we want to? I am so fucking proud of Minnesota right now you can't begin to imagine. Why would I want them to leave? They are arguably the very best of us.

No, the one that needs to leave is the orange chancre and his minions. Why are you not talking about that? Minnesota's not the problem here.

It boils down to a simplified "us versus them" attitude that the wealthy exploit regardless of party.

No one should agree with anyone 100% of the time, because then you're just blindly agreeing and not thinking.

But people who view the world as binary teams like that can't rationalize any of "them" saying anything right.

Right now it's very important to remember because fascists are always dogshit at maintaining a coaltion after assuming power. Divide and conquer is cliche for a reason, it fucking works.

We need to hammer the 2A angle, because 2A is a huge chunk of Republican support. That's one of their top wedge issues.

Pro-gun progressives could always dominate any election, but even more so now that the left should understand how important gun rights are. And we'd still cut down on mass shootings, because people would feel like they have something to lose in the first place.

She seen the writing on the wall with Trumps second term and is pulling a Meghan McCain, in that shes trying to position herself infront of Cameras saying stuff that sounds reasonable to try and salvage a political career and potentially have a position of leadership in the post trump era, and especially in the post-trump republican party.

Don't let her con you into liking her, believing her, or supporting her, just because shes now saying shit you believe and agree with. Because she pulled that shit already with the right wing and extremists... and she does it easily because she doesnt believe it. Shes a vile opportunist who would spew anything if she thought it'd let her maintain her power, or obtain more.

She seems like a crazy person that's also a true believer.

She went to Washington wanting to expose, among other things, a secret child-sex abuse ring involving people at the highest levels of government and society. And lo and behold, there was one, but it was being protected by the people in her own party.

True believers sometimes have some hope because some have just followed misinformation too far. Some will snap out of it when confronted with reality. The Final Experiment actually managed to turn some true flerfers. No effect on the grifters, obviously, but it shook some believers loose.

Yeah, I clock her as a True Believer as well. She's also a person who believes the end justifies the means.

Put those two things together and they explain everything she's ever done, including Jewish space laser claims.

MTG has always smelled like foreign/capital influence and the stank keeps getting worse.

That’s what I thought, too, but her latest utterances don’t make sense in that light.

Maybe her net worth has finally exceeded her values, so she’s finding something like a conscience and isn’t moneyed enough* for that to really factor in? She’s very, very new money, and likely can’t really imagine what that means? People are likely trying to tell her.

* : if foreign money bought her, I’m sure she was fairly cheap. She may have realised that recently…

They're not supposed to make sense. Russia did this exact thing within its own borders after the fall. You have the most outspoken poles of the political spectrum do complete 180s. Why?

Because you're trying to keep the people from organizing. You foment distrust in leaders and movements and try to keep people home by all means. You're trying to get people disinterested in the messy world of politics.

Meanwhile, you identify the people who are willing to break the rule of law and follow orders and put them to work nipping at the edges of those brave enough to organize.

It's happening now.

Doesn't matter if the intent is to cause a civil war or not. We don't have a choice.

They will keep ramping up until we fight back. May as well start it now before more lives are lost.

I know Trump thinks it's going to keep there from being primaries, midterms, but he's wrong.

It's also not going to stop us from demanding the Epstein files.

Coming out of this hell for the USA could require help from anyone, and convincing MAGAs to come over to the good side might be accomplished more readily by someone who once was theirs, would that be her or not.

I’ll take what can be had from her words, but she cannot be trusted and shares blame for the groundwork for the cult followers we see today. She’s also made a lot of money and is getting out after the fact.
