    How people like this are in politics and the media is reporting about them is beyond me.

    Straight to the loony bin.

      The shame of having people ready to elect MTG and Trump is way worse.

      These people were elected. Remember that.

        Makes sense. In this analogy as well as irl the platform is missing, I think. Youtube / Google wants to make money as well as news media so both let it happen willingly or push it even further. I think journalists should be better than this. Before the Internet no one (or at least no one beyond a very local level) did care about the maniac yapping some random nonsense at the town square. Now those maniacs are news all around the globe. I’m not even from NA but there’s so many news (and I might be biased because I often scroll through c/all) about US politics. Not that it would be much better here. People should really know when not to adapt something from the US.

    It’s unclear who the “they” are that Greene is referring to in this scenario.

    It might be Democrats, or maybe it’s the same people running the space lasers. Or does she maybe think those are the same groups? Or… you know what, I think I’m happier not knowing how her tiny mind works.

    Hello. Anyone hearing me? My simulation is broken.

    Batshit crazy morons have a international voice and political power, instead of raving on some street corner with a tinfoil hat and bottle of anti-freeze.

    Fix this glitch please.

    Even in her incoherent nonsense she somehow manages to engage in projection, with the bullshit notion that Democrats (instead of Republicans) would want to suppress voter turnout.

    Repubs: humans cannot alter the climate only Jesus can.

    Also Repubs: Dems directly attacked the Bible Belt with a category 4 hurricane.
