MTG insists Trump win proves she’s not a fringe extremist: ‘I am ‘mainstream America’
‘The American people, the voters that voted for Trump overwhelmingly, they are MTG,’ Greene says
Summary
Far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claims that Donald Trump’s recent election win validates her position as part of “mainstream America” rather than the “fringe.”
Greene, known for her controversial conspiracy theories, argued on conservative outlet Real America’s Voice that Trump’s supporters align with her beliefs.
With speculation that she might join Trump’s cabinet, Greene asserted that loyal MAGA supporters should be prioritized for roles in his administration over newcomers like RFK Jr. and Vivek Ramaswamy, emphasizing her unwavering support for Trump and his policies.
I'm terrified that she's right. And I think she's right.
After Tuesday, I must conclude she is right.
I've never been so embarrassed about my country. The fear hasn't even hit me yet.
Somehow even as a minority, it's actually kind of cathartic to finally know what America is officially.
And they want to make education worse...
She's wrong and right at the same time...
not a right-wing extremist ❌
mainstream American ✅
I used to say that in any situation on any given day, 10% of people are willing to hurt you, 10% are willing to help you, and the other 80% could go either way. I feel like I have to adjust that to 30/10/60 split now.

They should install a turbine onto Carlin's grave because he's spinning so fast right now that he could power a small city.
That’s clean energy, the incoming government won’t care until he turns to oil.
So is every founding father.
I love that we have data to back that up now.
I don’t :/
Sorry but it's absolutely true and she's absolutely right after this election.
America is a racist nation.
This election has shown me that my values aren’t compatible with most other Americans, and that is very hard to understand. I’m looking for the best alternative.
I've come to the conclusion that there is no best alternative.
Republicans are full on racist, fascist, crazy people.
Greens are all the above with the rotted veneer of liking the environment.
Libertarians are all the above plus more racist and crazy minus the environment.
Democrats are incompetent, won't let go of being Republican-lite, and are unreliable allies like MLK warned about.
Progressives are petulant, instant gratification demanding, iPhone attention span, unreliable allies that MLK warned about.
Right now, I'm just going to go full independent and stop trying to fix any of this shit show and concentrate on just surviving and making sure my kids have an out. I've got no confidence in anything in this nation that isn't better than this so fix it yourselves, I'm out.
I live in Kentucky. I need out. I haven't had anyone say anything because I'm 6 foot 4 220 pounds, but I don't feel safe. I'm surrounded.
Fire. Swinging heavy objects.
…just a few alternatives
Through all of this, this has more or less been the toughest pill to swallow. It's not a vocal minority, it's all of them. I had hopes that enough of them would be turned off by the rhetoric and rape, but I've been proven wrong. Absolute zero empathy for humanity. I can only hope that these worthless people are hurt first and hurt worst by the upcoming administration.
They will. The ACA is gonna be destroyed, FEMA is going to be destroyed, shit they are even going to take away the NOAA weather alerts because it will "promote climate change." They won't even have warnings before they hit and no money after.
Fuck them all. Especially the motherfuckers in Georgia who decided to sit this election out.
May the seas swallow them all.
No and very no.
Yes.
Yes, yes she is. I'm sorry to tell you that an obscene amount of americans could only be dumber if they were born as a stone. And another stupidly high part are also as evil as it comes.
Not sure about that, you shock the right kind of rock the right number of times and it can do math.... you shock one of these clowns, the closest thing you'll get them to do is meth.
Magic: The Gathering is a collectable trading card game. Not a politician.
I too cannot read "MTG" as anything other than Magic: The Gathering
I hate to say it... But yeah. She is.
I hate this timeline.
Yep, this is what caused me the most grief about the election. These people are everywhere.
She is apparently not wrong, and I hate that.
Democrats are already seeking her endorsement for 2028.
I'm willing to bet a significant amount of American dollars that if she would have endorsed Harris, Harris would have accepted it.
I guess so since Democrats reaching out for Liz Cheney and getting her endorsement didn't pan out.
How do I report a homicide on lemmy?
ITS HER TURN!!!!!
(/s just in case I dunno lol)
She kinda, sorta, has a point...
That's the problem.
Maybe if she becomes part of Trump's cabinet, she can finally get control of that sweet hurricane generating tech she said exists.
She's right.
At this point, she's right. she is mainstream America as mainstream America voted trump in too
The average American is dumb, so she's calling herself dumb, which she is. Gotta give it to her, she has some self reflection.
Which is exactly why everyone is disappointed with this election.
It's not disappointment with what the dems did or didn't do.
It's the disappointment now knowing that America is dumber than initially expected and more out of touch of what's actually happening around them.
Yeah, America IS FUCKED
I read that as "Magic the Gathering" and was very confused
Tap for 1 red MAGA
Same. Every time.
I like to say “Magic the Gathering herself” to one of my geeky political friends and it never fails to annoy him
Counter target administration's policies.
Nothing more normal than screaming "I'm Normal! I'm Normal! I'm Normal!" to everyone you can possibly victimize with your shrill not un-harpy-like voice.
If she is the mainstream then we have all gone Hollow.
I wonder what portion of her "support" is thinking "stfu already and gtf back to the kitchen and let the men handle this shit".
Great.
oh great, she's back... It was nice not seeing stories about here on here / in the news for a while
That's not how that works.
The average mainstream American likes Christmas.
The average mainstream American doesn't own 90 ugly Christmas Sweaters so they can wear a different one every day for 2 months.You are the latter.
She's right. Americans can't hide behind popular vote anymore. They are terrible people
I hate this clown.
MTG can just fuck off.
I like how the summary ends. It gives me hope of some backstabbing and conflicts over nepotism.
That's my primary hope. Musk and Peter Thiel have hated each other since the PayPal days, and I'm hoping the Thiel picked administration members butt heads with the Trump/Musk campaign and nothing gets done because they'll act like backstabby high schoolers.
If only backstabby enough...
RFK Jr seing a dead billionaire's body: is it for meee owo
A way to get a title of a honorary leftie.
Nothing like a fringe cunt having to yell super loud about how not fringe cunty she is.
Cunt is another word for a nazi, not a woman, by the way.
Mainstream garbage.
Half of every American won't forget it in their lifetime ever again, that their twisted views are the right thing to believe. Poor other half that will have to endure this daily from now on. F
Both appear to be true
Well, she is right unfortunately.
🤮
Oh it's the Magic The Gathering woman. It was a pleasant time forgetting she existed.
She's not wrong. At least half the country is dumb as rocks and a good proportion is racist and generally bigoted. America has eroded its international standing to an unprecedented low.
Well damn. I had no idea how far ahead of the curve I was.
