Guess Where Marjorie Taylor Greene Has Suddenly Gotten Popular? ( newrepublic.com )

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theories, vitriolic language, and xenophobia have made her a darling of the right and a pariah on the left—and now, she’s gained admiration from Russian state television.

Greene’s attempts to block aid to Ukraine, her criticisms of NATO, and her beliefs that the United States should withdraw from the alliance have drawn plaudits from TV hosts in Russia, The Daily Beast reported Friday.

She is clearly a shaved bear that Russia sent over.

I don't think anyone in the world would want her mouth bigger😁

I’m not sure she’s a literal traitor but she is definitely a useful idiot.

The only difference here is that a useful idiot hasn’t been used yet.

Yeah, I honestly think she’s dumb enough to do it for free

ObviouslyNotBanana ,
@ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly. I think it’s just in her own short term interest, and that happens to align with foreign governments.

You guys sound like youre making cover for mtg. She’s a ghoul.

That’s definitely not my intention. I agree that her actions are fucking mental.

If she is promoting Kremlin propaganda, she is a traitor, IMHO. Unfortunately, she is likely protected under the first amendment.

She is so fucking stupid, she probably isn’t getting paid to say the things she does. People like that already have a twisted sense of patriotism so she likely believes the horseshit she spews.

I understand that viewpoint, and I’m not saying she’s any less of a problem just because I’m not willing to state that she’s a literal traitor. She’s obviously doing what she’s doing, regardless of her reasons.

remotelove ,

Being a traitor an odd thing to try and define in this case. She really couldn’t be considered the ringleader in distributing misinformation and we probably can’t get proof of any bribery. If anything, she is a victim of state sponsored propaganda. “Victim” is probably too strong of a word here, but it’s possible.

Regardless, the Dunning-Kruger effect is in full force with that one. If she is commiting crimes, she probably isn’t aware of it.

I think our differences in views can be explained by my belief that propaganda is a legitimate weapon. (That could probably be debated until the end of time, unfortunately.)

I do also believe that propaganda is a weapon. I just don’t know whether she’s doing what she’s doing in the service of anything but her own stupidity. There is, however, no questioning the fact that whatever the case she is useful to foreign interests. Something which shouldn’t be taken lightly no matter what category we put her into.

She reminds me of my mother. She can’t be wrong.

makes me respect the gold bar senator bit more when its framed this way. If you’re going to support a foreign country you could at least have the self respect to get paid.
