"SNIP.......

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told Yahoo News that comments from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) about his marriage illustrates a plan to “divide and demonize and demoralize.”

Said Buttigieg: “The reason you hear somebody like that making nonsensical, literally nonsensical comments like that — I don’t know what you’d do with an electric vehicle in any bathroom — they don’t want to talk about what we’re actually working on.”

He added: “So they’re going to keep tripling down on anything that can divide and demonize and demoralize, and through that capture attention.”

1. That is the second time MTG has put Buttigieg and Chasten in the

girls' bathroom. This time with an electric vehicle to tie electric vehicles and Pete to something yucky. They are doing a visual. The right is terrified of Pete.

2. Rs are morally and politically bankrupt.

All they have is hatred and division.

Their go-to and sadly, it works.

8. Greene is not an intelligent person...

Her only strategy is to point out things that are "icky" and "scary" and only really point out her ignorance on those issues.

She talks about LGBTQ issues in the way a 12 year old fundamentalist boy would. "They are gross and scary". That is her take on LGBTQ issues. She talks about Communism or Socialism as "scary, coming to get you" without understanding and addressing the critique of Capitalism. "Communism means evil things" is her take on a divergence in economic and political philosophy.

She has little to know actual understanding of the issues surrounding anything she speaks about really, so she relies on the ignorant and fear based "disgust" that her base exhibits.

9. She speaks to a percentage of the Trump base. I believe she

was told to say this again. And will harp on it.
