Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday floated resorting to using the "Second Amendment" to deal with Democrats who are imposing what she described as a "tyrannical" government.
While speaking with right-wing media personality Sebastian Gorka, Greene slammed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams for her policies regarding both vaccines and gun rights.
Greene then pivoted to talking about how Americans are guaranteed the right to bear arms to resist such supposed tyranny.
"Ultimately the truth is its our Second Amendment rights, our right to bear arms, that protects Americans and give us the ability to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government," she said. "And I hate to use this language but Democrats, theyre exactly -- theyre doing exactly what our Founders talked about when they gave us the precious rights that we have.

I'd just reply back to her, "Be careful what you wish for, Empty Greene."

Because they are all blowhards who would cave and run like a scared 5 year old if they ever had a stick pointed at them. "She needs a good ass-whoopin'", as my father used to say. They all do, in my opinion.

Is that what's meant by a "tyrannical Government"?
Jedi Guy
(3,185 posts)What she meant by "a tyrannical government" is "a government not run by us." Biden could sit around with his thumb up his ass, doing nothing, and she'd make the same claim. The President has a D after his name. That's all it takes.

I'm sorry, but that where all of this leads.

(15,320 posts)The racist, hatefilled, ignorant, violent Dipshits that pulled the fucking lever to send her to Congress are the fucking disgraceful problem.
The corporations and wealthy pricks that fund her campaign are the fucking problem.
Every damn business in her miserable Dumbfuckistan, Murika district, regardless of whether they supported her, or not, ought to be boycotted to ruin and bankruptcy. I am normally not for collective punishment, but there should be consequences for sending such an evil amphibian turd to a position of authority.
Unless and until her Congressional District picks an actual fucking human being, and not dogshit to represent them, it should be treated like a fucking lepper colony.
None of this will ever change. The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations that fund it, and the people that enable it.

I just don't want not only another January 6th insurrection, but a much wider scale version of the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist church shooting. Remember the reasons why the shooter did that.

(6,513 posts)They always talk like no one will shoot back. They act like no one else but NRA members have weapons and know how to use them. What a shock and surprise it will be if we actually were to get down to Civil War 2. "But, but she said we should shoot them!"
It is easy for someone to advocate for someone ELSE to shoot down their neighbors, but it is deadly serious business, something I think she would not be able to carry out without crazy people who believe her. As an elected official, she should be kicked out for advocating violence against other members and the general public.

Here is Jake Trapper calling her out just two days before the 2018 Gubernatorial Election. I'm not saying it cost her the election, but it sure as hell didn't help. I had gun owners emailing me about my support for Abrams after it aired. If you followed Abrams you can see she was not happy with this interview even though she walked back her position as a starting point for conversations.
