Maybe if the statue depicted a freed slave with his or her foot on the neck of one of these confederate generals traitors, perhaps.

I’d say that she’s just jealous of people whose labour is valuable enough to be worth stealing; but that would imply a level of self-awareness that I’m not sure she possesses.

MTG: “We should keep the statues up and educate the children!”
Everyone: “So you agree we should educate the children about history?”
MTG: “No, that’s just ‘woke’ propaganda.”
Yeah, we know what you’re really getting at here, Empty.

I’m pretty sure she is breaking her oath, at the very least, by saying this. Will there be consequences? Probably not

She and her sort are also happy to remind us that “poetry is not policy”

the main reasons for the tooth loss are poor nutrition, poor hygiene, and teeth grinding. things that are manageable if you’ve got a steady cash flow from things like a congressional salary, free pandemic money, and kickbacks.

i’ve had loved ones who’ve struggled with addiction, and people who are habitual users but still high functioning can have their lives messed up in a lot ways that aren’t immediately obvious from the outside… i’d say, what we think of as the stereotype is a small part of the iceberg.

MTG is always effortlessly proud, because she’s incapable of feeling shame.

Fun, especially since she is “representing” a blue state. Of course, she doesn’t mean those people.

Are we sure she’s really from Georgia? I find it hard to believe. She literally has no idea what Black people think. Oh wait: I just checked out the population of Congressional District 14, GA which she represents and now I can believe it.

At the Texas statehouse there are multiple monuments, romanticizing and memorializing the brave men who fought and died for the rights of their rich neighbors to buy and sell children. Just insane.

Shockingly, there are actually Black people, Latinx people, gay people, trans people, and religious minorities who live in that district. It’s got a long and pretty violent history of voter suppression. I believe the most recent change to the district included the area where Leo Frank was lynched, for example.
Even there, it’s not so solidly red that no one there votes democratic. And lots of people don’t vote because of the history of the place.
