It's becoming abundantly clear that MTG is not in congress to represent her constituents

[Siwsan]

At least they are not her major focus. She's there to, first and foremost, represent herself and her insane, vile beliefs, and then perhaps the constituents who believe the same. Anyone outside of that bubble, is, in effect, unrepresented. IMHO, of course.

[PJMcK]

1. She's an ass

She will leave very light footprints before she's gone.

Culture warriors rarely do well in the long-term. That's because cultures evolve.

MTG is an idiot and Time will not be kind to her.

[jimfields33]

2. I think she's doing what her constituents want

At least the 74 percent who voted for her. I feel for the 26 percent who didn’t.

[Kingofalldems]

16. Really now?

[IcyPeas]

3. she is just a friggen troll.

[PatSeg]

14. Yes and I think she will

find ways to make money off this gig of hers. She isn't interested in government. She is going out of her way to get a lot of media attention, that she can use later to promote herself in some regard - TV, radio, books, business opportunities. She's just another con artist.

[DFW]

4. That was never her intention

I think she just did it for the thrill, and never realized that history depends on decisions made in the House. She seems to be in it just for the headlines.

I am in the process of doing my own tiny little contribution to her being owned, should have it ready in a few days, maybe less. She'll never suffer for it, but it will sure feel good! Maybe a few here in DU, too.

[handmade34]

5. I'd rather

it was something that she will suffer from... she doesn't belong in Congress

[DFW]

6. If she ever sees it, her blood pressure might temporarily explode

But I fear that is about the extent of it.

However, I know that all Georgia Democrats in Congress will see it, and be humming it when she is nearby.

[demtenjeep]

9. ohhh I can't wait

give us a little hint?

[DFW]

17. I don't know if this will help

But her last name rhymes with a famous Dolly Parton song

*on edit—I got the word from my collaborator. This should be ready by Sunday, maybe earlier.

33. Thanks!

We're not Randy Rainbow, but we do what we can.

7. Nancy needs to set her straight

and I can't believe hanging that horrible poster is allowed in those great hallways



put her in a broom closet in the basement

[smirkymonkey]

8. She's like a bratty little toddler who is just acting out for the attention.

She needs to go. Now.

[rickyhall]

10. Poor thing's just begging for attention. Bless her little pointed head.

My mom used to say that very sarcastically.

[Hortensis]

11. Seriously, Ocasio-Cortez is a model for developing a national

persona/following unrelated to her actual electoral position. Ocasio's rolling in donor money, far more than her own constituents could ever provide, and she gets press coverage that her minor role in congress doesn't begin to warrant.

We'll see others following this model.

[JonLP24]

18. East Coast bias

East Coast bias is why AOC receives so much attention. First defeating Joe Crowley was seen as an upset which first drew a lot of attention. I doubt AOC expected all this attention herself. The New York media machine is a big reason why AOC gets a lot of attention. Fox News is part of that.

Same reason why Cuomo received a lot of praise and an Emmy for press conferences which the New York media machine covered and it is the same reason why there is critical coverage of his scandals and his approval ratings are falling.

AZ Governor Doug Ducey has done similar things but no one really cares.

Governor extends executive order that makes it harder for families to sue Arizona nursing homes

(Snip)

Arizona's nursing homes and assisted-living facilities have been especially hard-hit by the new coronavirus, with more than 12,700 people infected with COVID-19 inside Arizona long-term care facilities since March. More than 1,900 have died of COVID-19-related complications, according to an Arizona Republic analysis of county health and federal data.

The numbers, however, are certainly higher. The state has refused to release the number of cases and deaths in long-term care facilities, and some counties have only partial data that includes cases in nursing homes but not assisted-living facilities.

Personally I would support impeaching Doug Ducey but no one cares because of East Coast bias.

[Hortensis]

19. You're right, of course, about NYC/Crowley being the reasons Ocasio

was promoted by NY-based national media, including those acting as RW agents to help take out a powerful Democrat.

Also that, even if the trumpists have gone crazy, it seems unlikely RW media will propel Soylent Greene to the kind of success Ocasio's having, but Ocasio's model shows there's a whole lot of attention and money to be gathered while she may anyway.

I suppose if NY-based national media went after Ducey it'd hurt him, of course, rather than just cover what's happening in AZ. But should they? That's AZ media's job, and AZ's people's. That's quite aside from the reality that Ducey is a Republican governor, giving him some protection from the MSM can do.

This topic reminds me fire season's ahead again in the west. We take both the NYT and the LA Times. Wild fires can literally be burning in the middle of Los Angeles and NY-based media won't cover it since they can't claim the fires threaten Malibu, apparently a trigger word for eastern readers.

12. She's a representative of the Q cult.

And their batshit crazy beliefs and repulsive behavior. These people pride themselves on being insufferable assholes and the more we're disgusted with them, the more it fuels them. I guess "Be Best" had the opposite effect of what it was originally intended for.

[moondust]

13. Or science.

She's clearly too dumb to understand genetics.

[Mariana]

15. What's her approval rating in her district? Anyone know? nt.

[WarGamer]

23. au contraire

I think the people who voted for her are EXACTLY reflected in her.

[Siwsan]

25. Some, but I bet a lot voted for her simply because of the "R" after her name.

I could be wrong - I often am. We'll see, next November.

[WarGamer]

27. The vast majority of the Republican Party... maybe 90%+

really ARE the same as Blackburn, MTG and Trump...

The days of McCain, Romney, Paul Ryan and John Boehner are long gone.

Generally, they're a bunch of uneducated hateful bigots.

[Siwsan]

28. I have none in my life, so they are a mystery to me

Two of my cousins are hard core trumpsters. They are a decade older than me, and I really only seem them at funerals, now. One of them doesn't even believe that women should ever have been given the vote, so that's why I just don't bother, anymore.

[WarGamer]

29. I work with some Republicans but they're outliers...

High level Engineers with multiple degrees... and a couple MD's but not many. Since I straddle the Engineering and Medical fields I see the differences between the groups.

One is the "hundred shades of gray group" and the other hates gray because it's an ambiguous color.

[Crunchy Frog]

24. If she gets reelected it means that she is representing her constituents.

She may be doing EXACTLY what they want.

[Siwsan]

26. Exactly what I just responded to WarGamer

We'll know, next November.

[JI7]

34. She IS representing her constituents with this

They voted for her and Trump becsuse they love this shit.
