THE REPUBLICAN PARTY JUST DIED BY SUICIDE: Half its conference gave Marjorie @RepMTG Taylor Greene a standing ovation tonight.
The Republicans chose her, over sanity.
There is no longer a GOP.

The GOP - and its Big Business backers - have been actively cultivating extremists since at least the Gingrich era - if not earlier (Falwell, Paul Weyrich, etc.).

And after being warned for decades this day would come, that beast has turned on them.

Like the snake eating its tail on that flag they like so much.

I want her off the education committee. Small business seems more up her alley, she might actually know something about that.

I want her out front and being interviewed all over right wing media. She's like one of those fussy lap dogs, annoying as hell. Eventually, people who want to stay saner will chose that interview to go to the john and grab another beer.

Her horseshit has already been banned from two of the most accessible platforms, Twitter and You Tube, both of which have been fairly decent at looking at flagged content and deleting the worst. That leaves Facebook needing to clean up its service, voluntarily or not. Deprived of easy access to a large audience, the attractiveness of this stuff will start to fade.

I want her there to remind poeople just how crazy her bunch is and how they're dragging the rest of the Republicans down with them.

We have coped with crazy people in Congress before. Some have done damage, like Joe McCarthy, but mostly they're gone fairly quickly as their constituents realize they'd rather have competent representation than a dog and pony show. She's so far out there that she's got a fair chance of taking some of the worst sycophants with her.

So leave her in place as an example of why people need to get off their dead butts and vote again in 2022. Please.

that Fakebook will start acting responsibly and not a greedy, immoral vehicle for spreading GOP BS. Fuckerberg sold his soul to the devil and he is happy with the deal.

by a bunch of antivaxers and other conspiracy nuts organized completely on Farcebook will eventually attract the kind of attention that weasel Zuckerberg is most frightened of.

Being loony is one thing. Trying to hurt people is something quite different.
