Actually not crazy. I believe that democracy and the union itself is under threat in the U.S. Greene is just a symptom.

I'm torn between seeing such an idea as the best way to contain the problem of far-right nutters trying to tank our democracy and seeing it as the humanitarian disaster it would inevitably be to those who actually live there,

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The ability to ignore the god of the bible that does horrific things is truly an amazingly useless talent.

These kind of nutters don't have to ignore the things you're talking about, because they don't think those things are bad. They think those things are the best of the good, righteous, sacred, and when racial holy war comes, I suppose that will be more clear.

I get a lot of crap for saying that Reagan got some things right. There is no doubt that Reagan got taking down the Soviet Union correct. I will never fault him for that. BUT, unfortunately his pandering to billionaires and the religious right, that, ever since has set the stage for the bullshit we are seeing today. You are correct HS, Greene just like the former guy, are a mere symptom. The problem is calling that a symptom does not change that that symptom is having a very negative deep impact on our system regardless of the root cause.

We could give the separatists idaho, like they want, have them build a huge wall around it, and then periodically launch missiles into their settlement. Those who wish to come back to the united states would be free to do so at any of our processing camps along their border, provided they relinquish their children or their uterus, both, if they appear to be super fecund. Any illegals or aliens found crossing the border will be shot, preferably by a local militia accountable to no one.

Did someone say "hate speech?"
Marjorie Taylor Greene calls AOC a little communist and says locking her up is a good idea. She also says AOC isn’t an American
