Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Democrats moving to red states should be temporarily barred from voting.
Florida and Texas have received by far the largest influx of new residents relocating from other states.
Greene also once again discussed a "national divorce," where blue and red states split.

1. will someone please say the magic words to remove the thorns from that woman's heart

Good grief but that woman is kray-zeeee

[Initech]

40. That would require her to have a heart to begin with!

[Solly Mack]

2. That woman has straight-up reached her "sell-by" date.

[ZonkerHarris]

3. She can go fuck her self. Twice.

[Dirty Socialist]

5. I was going to say something

But you posted a toned down version of what I was going to say

[ZonkerHarris]

50. Eloquence!

[Initech]

46. +100000000000000000

I hate these fucking morons. I truly despise them.

[IronLionZion]

49. She might like it

[FreepFryer]

4. Pushing Putinist secession propaganda even now. Noted. (Nt)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Empty Greene is not equipped to figure out who is actually brainwashed. No mirrors in her house. nt

[jaxexpat]

8. Yeah. Since when could the brain dead determine brainwashed or anything else, for that matter?

This is a genuine "man bites dog" story. Yet I still question its newsworthiness.

[duforsure]

7. Fascist like her will do and say anything for attention,

And to grift money from people. Its all about corrupting people's minds to believe what she wants them to believe. She's learned these tactics from TFG. This is how fascism works.

[trusty elf]

9. She should have some more pie.

[Emile]

10. She worships a con man, so anyway you can cheat, steal

and lie to win is okay. With the dwindling number of republican voters, they know that's the only way they can win.

[SergeStorms]

11. What was she elected to do?

She doesn't write or introduce any legislation, so apparently she was elected to be a loud-mouthed, anti-democracy, fascist provocateur?

I'll bet the voters in her district are immensely proud of her for representing them so completely.

[Caliman73]

44. Well, she apparently has a sizeable lead in her primary match up...

Her seat is in a pretty safe district so unfortunately the voters in her district seem to approve.

It is certainly not understandable or acceptable to anyone with any shred of humanity, intelligence, or understanding of how government works, but then again politicians in red states seem to pick their voters and not the other way around.

[DeeDeeNY]

12. Crazy but also a little unsettling

As a U.S. Congresswoman she has more power than any of us. And if the so-called experts are right, 2022 will bring in many more who think like she does.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Yes, seriously divisive and inflammatory rhetoric from a sitting MOC.

More fuel for the psychological civil war they are waging.

[Lonestarblue]

25. Marjorie's craziness is an act to get attention.

And it’s working. I suspect the toxic workplace that she and her cohorts have created in the House has led some Democrats not to run for reelection. If or when Republicans like her take over the House majority, they will pass laws outlawing liberalism, science, and any other silly stupid things they can think to do. What a waste of air.

[Irish_Dem]

42. Of course the GOP is deliberately intimidating Dems.

To prevent Dems for running for office. Putting them in harm's way over and over is frightening.

Yes once in permanent power, the GOP leaders will throw their base red meat. Of course the leaders could care less about these issues you mention. Their only interest is permanent power and wealth.

[CrispyQ]

45. I read there were over 20 Q-anon candidates for 2022 & that was several months ago.

These people are fired up to vote, to run for office, & to take over the electoral process any way they can. Our side better be paying attention.

[Walleye]

13. Why should they care, they practically outlawed voting anyway

[North Shore Chicago]

14. Hate is such a strong and negative feeling but.....

I really hate this woman! She embodies everything despicable as a human being. We may need to check her DNA, maybe she is not a human. A Putin-bot.

[Mr. Ected]

15. If she wants us to cool off, fine, but then conversely

GOPPers moving to blue states really need to be deep frozen for at least a century in order for scientists to be able to figure out once and for all what the hell is wrong with them.

[Dr. Shepper]

16. If I have to live in a red state

I am sure as hell gonna vote. Fuck her forever. And her repub colleagues too.

[Klaralven]

17. 30 days is the max under the '70 voting rights act

Mobile people vote less when faced with restrictive registration and residency requirements. All states today require that a voter be 18 years old by election day, a U.S. citizen, and a legal resident of the state. Most states also restrict voting for currently incarcerated felons and for those legally declared mentally incompetent. Historically, many states imposed lengthy residency requirements at the state, county, and local levels, some as long as two years. Until 1970, Texas required one year residence in the state. States justified lengthy residency requirements with arguments of fraud prevention and a promise of more knowledgeable voters, but often used them simply to disenfranchise. However, the 1970 Voting Rights Act set thirty days as the maximum permissible residency requirement in presidential elections and a 1972 U.S. Supreme Court decision (Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330) applied the thirty day maximum to state and local elections. Since then most states have reduced or eliminated their residency requirements. Absent any evidence of increased voter fraud, a few states have set aside any residency requirements with Election Day registration.

20. Thank you for that factual information

I'm sure a more thorough reading of the subject is available, but I doubt I'd find any official designation of voters being "brainwashed" due their former residence being in a Democratic-leaning state.

[TNNurse]

18. Fortunately, Marjorie, you are not in charge

of much of anything. You do not even serve on any committees, you are just a big ignorant mouth.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Omicron will cool off anti-vaxx invincibility and hatred

That's what she's worried about.

[amb123]

21. And who gets to decide who is "cooled off"

YOU?!

GO SEIG HEIL YOURSELF!

[tanyev]

22. Oh the tantrum she would throw if someone suggested the same for Repubs who move to blue states!

Why, she'd fundraise off that for months.

[ck4829]

24. 2023: "Speaker of the House Greene suggests Dems who move..."?

[azureblue]

26. nothing says Dictator like preventing people from voting.

She is anti democracy and anti American

[LogicFirst]

27. Why would anybody move to a red state?

[Dial H For Hero]

28. I think you're overestimating the amount of attention most people pay to politics.

[Kingofalldems]

34. Jan. 6, 2021.

[Mad_Machine76]

30. People have their reasons

Politically, it seems like it can only help "blue" up the area a bit?

[Demsrule86]

32. I live in Ohio which is a red state at the moment...still many Democrats here but we are

gerrymandered badly...and I like my state. We have jobs and lives here. And without Democrats in red-state congressional districts, we would never see a house majority. And despite the anger towards Manchin- without him, Mitch would be the majority leader. I expect the government would have been shut down multiple times, the debt ceiling breached and no judges confirmed. Biden has been confirming lower court justices at a record pace.

[intheflow]

39. Jobs. Better climate. Family. Lots of reasons. n/t

[IronLionZion]

51. Lots of people left cities during the pandemic

to places with bigger homes for lower cost, which are in red states. This is common for the work remotely from home crowd. Lots of them negotiate that into their contract when interviewing.

Then there are retirees or people who want better weather or lower state income taxes.

[gratuitous]

29. Just under the wire!

Marjorie has a last-minute entry for "stupidest thing said by an American politician" for the year that's going to be tough to top.

[Autumn]

31. A "national divorce," where blue and red states split? Yeah, I could get behind that

A law maker wants to take away peoples right to vote...

These fucking people are insane.

[maxrandb]

33. Cool, maybe red states should have a "cooling off" before getting federal aid

Let's start with Kentucky!

I swear, every time I tell myself that I am not as cruel, or heartless as these ignorant fucksticks, they propose something like this and drag me right down in the mud with them.

Makes me think that there were probably a lot of people before the Civil War that argued kicking the shit out of the Confederate states would inflict pain on the innocent people in those states.

God help us all if the MTG's of the world ever get in power...

Or, nevermind, that already happened in 2016.

We better realize something quick.

Unless and until there is economic hardship inflicted upon the corporations and businesses in states that fund this shit, it will never stop

Sometimes you think that reason and morality will be enough to bring about change, but you realize that the only thing that will truly bring about change is a national General Strike or a Civil War.

These people...the ones who vote for MTG and the corporations that fund her would happily slit our throats while we sleep

You may dismiss her bullshit as "cute", or "amusing", but 10s of millions of your neighbors have been hearing the exact same shit she is proposing on thousands of hate radio stations 24/7 for the past 40 years.

[BlueIdaho]

35. Brainwashed People

Shouldn’t be allowed in Congress - but there she is.

[0rganism]

36. and we must all wear the scarlet "D" in public

yet more insolent vicious trashtalk for the echo chamber to promote

[FakeNoose]

37. At the very least, Empty Greene should be kicked off of Twitter

She has become as offensive as Chump ever was, and HE was banned almost a year ago.

[llashram]

38. people like her

and her voters/followers need a mouth washing and enema to clean their bodies of the hate they espouse. One horrible, narcissistic, lying serial rapist grifter allowed these treasonous snakes into the public domain.

[Initech]

41. I think even Trump's SCOTUS would shoot this down pretty quick.

[andym]

43. Notice that she feels that Dems are brainwashed, and we feel that she is

Very interesting dynamic. She doesn't understand that having a particular ideology itself isn't a sign of brainwashing-- it's only when you are unable to question your own biases as having a basis in fact and science, that brainwashing can occur and be identified as such. Not that any ideology should disqualify one from voting.

[TeamProg]

47. I honestly believed the U.S. hit rock-bottom when GWB became POTUS.

Man, was I wrong.

We'll hit bottom just before we split into two or three or four countries.

[roamer65]

48. Southern Trumpists who move to blue states should be denied residency.

Residency would be a path to citizenship if blue states secede, therefore they should be denied it.

Point. counterpoint.

[Bengus81]

52. So far beyond Bat shit crazy it's beyond belief

[IbogaProject]

53. hmm

here is a quote from an excerpt above.

Most states also restrict voting for currently incarcerated felons and for those legally declared mentally incompetent.

So it should be legal for Empty to be barred from voting for being "Mentally Incompetent" ?

[SouthernDem4ever]

54. Let's move Margorie Taylor Green to mars

She's such an ass-wipe. I am embarrassed that fellow georgians voted for that moron.

[mwooldri]

55. Hmmm....

If DC applies this rule, and Congress follows this rule too... then all Congressional Representatives from Red States need a cooling off period before casting any votes while in the District of Columbia. I think a two year cooling off period works fine. Unsure about purple states though.

[The Jungle 1]

56. Stupid majority rule Democracy.

Whose crazy ass idea was this system anyway. Must have been a socialist.
What is wrong with Cuba they got a good thing going down there. Everybody has a classic car. What could be wrong with that?
Snark

[MissMillie]

57. Notice: she was specifically targeting Dems for disenfranchisement

She soesn't suggest that GQPers moving need to "cool off"

I'm still trying to figure out how someone so ignorant, so inept, and so unhinged gets elected to office.

[TheFarseer]

58. Her district

After redistricting, appears to be a textbook example of “ cracking”. Any chance they have “cracked” too much and she could get beat? Yes, I’ve heard she is winning in the polls but it is very early.
