Eradication. What does that word mean to you? Do you like hearing politicians use it in the context of shutting down dissent? Do you find it chilling? Do you find these words from Marjorie Taylor Greene menacing or do you simply dismiss it all as demented ramblings?
Not only do [Republicans] support President Trump, we support his policies. And any Republican that isn’t willing to adapt these policies, we’re completely eradicating from the party. So it’s up to Nikki Haley what she does.
What does eradication look like? Typically, it is a word applied to vermin, like rats or an infestation of termites or bedbugs. Certainly, it doesn’t seem particularly tolerant of different points of view.
Does it seem strange to anyone that Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to shrink the party into a smaller, purer instrument of loyalty to Donald Trump for Trump in the name of Trump?
Shouldn’t there be a question asked about intention to the people who have become completely hostile to freedom of conscience, speech and expression what they might do with power?
Might they seek to stifle speech and intimidate? Might they threaten retribution? Might they act in the threat? How would they act? These questions matter a great deal in this moment.
Americans have a great deal of time to ponder our way of life, which is deeply attached to several core precepts. Among them are that “we the people” pick our leaders, and not the other way around.
Think about it. Eradication. It’s an unusual choice. It seems ominous. Does it to you?
“Might they seek to stifle speech and intimidate? Might they threaten retribution? Might they act in the threat? How would they act? These questions matter a great deal in this moment.”
Steve, points well taken! However, these hypothetical’s could make a MAGA mind explode. And yet, we all know the answer to your questions in one word: ABSOLUTELY!
MTG is another mindless wonder in a graveyard littered with wasted lives of untalented and unqualified politicians. We just learned that the esteemed and principled (not even close) Nancy Mace, wanted to get punched in the face so she could improve her national profile and raise on-line donations during J6th.
MTG has even outshined herself by introducing D-picks into the congressional record. So the only question we need to ask ourselves is, are these serious people, who who went to Washington to effect positive change, or just to enrich themselves with speaking engagements, book deals, and all the other other perks of representing their Congress districts and states, in the service of this great nation?
No need to answer, it’s a rhetorical question!....:)
I smell Steven Miller at work. Like TFG, Greene is incapable of coming up with words like that. Nazism is spreading through the MAGA’s. While The Lincoln Project is laser focused on trump, words like that can’t be ignored by them. I would love to see a video having a split screen with Hitler on one side and trump or Greene on the other side saying similar words to what Hitler is saying.
