That's the thing, really. If they're so incompetent that they don't understand what they're saying or doing could it be their go-to path is to perpetually double down on their ineptitude? It's been the winning GOP formula for as long as I can remember. But will it survive another opportunity for the people to wise up/rise up in outrage. Could be they've finally painted themselves into an uninhabitable corner and 2022 will, at long last, referendum them into nonexistence.

It's hard predicting the future.

with an authoritarian, and even fascist, regime, as long as she WAS in. Authoritarian regimes establish/enforce formally subordinated roles for women, fascism just more extreme.

Come victory, she might well find herself put in her "place" rather than privileged by the male ruling cabal. In fact, if I could bet on it... She's obnoxious and comparatively stupid, nothing to offer once they were in charge.

A big reason she and Greene are in congress at all is backlash from their party prematurely driving their few women members out of congress -- plummet to 13 in 2018 from low 20s in 2016 -- by creating hostile workplaces out of their caucuses (!) and helping men take their seats. So they quick-reversed course and ADDED 35 women in 2020.

Not permanently.

8. Twitter did not suspend an account of a sitting member of Congress

Twitter did not suspend a sitting member of Congress' account.

That Representative still has the official US Congress account for that particular district.
She may freely tweet away, and in doing so likely will tweet away that account too.

Twitter did suspend that legislator's alter-ego account, but that ego doesn't work anyway, and I doubt that it can be altered.

The esteemed Representative from the great State of Georgia is free to tweet any true thing she knows.
We will wait.

Jehovah is wicked hard on liars, hypocrites and a-hole bullies.

Why do Republicans hate biblical teachings and why do they whine so much when they are clearly lying and in the wrong?

“Freedom of the press may be guaranteed in the Constitution. But a plurality of Republicans want to give President Trump the authority to close down certain news outlets, according to a new public opinion survey conducted by Ipsos and provided exclusively to The Daily Beast.”

So that same 43% of republicans would approve a democrat shutting down Fox news?

She certainly does not understand the legal application of the First Amendment. She lacks empathy and therefore her ego drives her every utterance. She has the substance of a contaminated cotton ball. She's small fish. We need to rid Congress of her and every single other seditionist both for now and for ever.
