It’s no secret that the relationship between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert has never been worse. The two U.S. representatives yelled at each other on and off the House floor. Greene recently called Boebert a “little removed” to her face. And Boebert supported Greene’s removal from the Freedom Caucus.

      Rapidly growing pet peeve of mine - the GOP bigwigs pretty consistently act like morons, cuz that’s what their base finds relatable; but don’t take the bait. These fuckers get away with causing SO MUCH damage to our country because we keep just giving them the village idiot pass. There’s a kind of blundering innocence that comes with dismissing them as stupid. Better to assume that while they excel at acting the fool, their actions are calculated and deliberate. These fuckers are evil, not stupid.

          That’s true. I suppose it’s more of a compartmentalization: she’s fucking stupid when it comes to basic high school level information; but she’s competent and relentless at damaging the US. The latter is the one I care about about - don’t really give a shit about her academic struggles.

          Don’t focus on the stupid, focus on the domestic terrorism.
