Why does AOC, the larger politician, not simply eat MTG?

I'm not going to read Marjorie Greene's entire statement so I might theoretically be missing some context, but what does she say here? "Communists aren't Americans and need to be locked up."

That's just McCarthyism. A bunch of nonsense we should have left behind.

Even if her accusations of communism were accurate, there isn't anything in the Constitution that says people who identify as Communists cannot be American citizens. On the other hand, birthright citizenship is specifically granted in the 14th Amendment.

I truly, honestly, believe that a congressperson saying that AOC, who was born in NYC, isn't American, is a violation of their oath of office. Marjorie Greene swore to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution couldn't be any clearer about AOC's citizenship. I also think that office holders who violate their oath of office should be removed from their office, and that it is the responsibility of other representatives to do so.

Let this be your takeaway and feel free to pre-emptively apply it to everything else these people say about AOC. It'll save you time and nerves.

[-] frezik 34 points 5 days ago

It's all quite the opposite, in fact. From the time of the Revolution onward, there were lots of Americans fighting for the working class against the rich. It's deeply rooted in our history, and America would never have developed the same way without it. The history books written since the Cold War have glossed over much of it, but it's not something you can completely remove, either.

We celebrate Veterans Day as the start of summer, and Labor Day as the end of summer. However, one of these gets a lot more flag waving and attention going on than the other. People literally died for both of those, but Labor Day is treated as just a day off.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

To be fair, labor day has little history. It was picked to take attention away from May Day, the traditional day of labor celebration and activity. May Day tends to be more about action, not just celebration, so the capitalists wanted to pick a different date and new traditions where people just stay home instead of advocating for their best interests.

Yes, and I think that only strengthens the point that this was all shooed away where it wouldn't be a bother.

This happened in 2021. Green was mad about the Green New Deal and AOC failing to "embrace our American ways." Sorry for the NYPost article, it was the one I found.

https://nypost.com/2021/06/27/marjorie-taylor-greene-calls-aoc-communist-at-ohio-speech/

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tore into Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a speech Saturday, calling the progressive Democrat a “communist” and criticizing the Green New Deal.

“She’s not an American. She really doesn’t embrace our American ways,” Greene said about Ocasio-Cortez, who was born in the Bronx, according to Fox News.

“You want to know why? She has something called the ‘Green New Deal,’” the Georgia Republican said about Ocasio-Cortez’s climate plan.

Last month Green called AOC a "pathetic little hypocrite" for her comments opposing the US attack on Iran.

https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-iran-israel-trump-maga-2088910

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has called out Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat, for her criticism of President Donald Trump's attack on Iran.

Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that Ocasio-Cortez, who had said Saturday's attack was "absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment," was a "pathetic little hypocrite."

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I don't think it would be a violation of her oath if Greene said something like, "AOC's actions were unamerican," or even, "AOC's actions are not American."

But even with this context, I think her saying that AOC "is not an American" is a violation of her oath. You might think, "Greene wouldn't understand the difference," but I think that language, as well as her insults, would not be allowed on the floor of congress, so we already have this requirement that they do understand a tiny bit of decorum. Why not expand it to all public statements?

Honestly, I don't think it's healthy to allow our politicians to lie at all. But that would be even harder to police.

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 19 points 5 days ago

a violation of their oath of office

I like the idea that the way to punish politicians for irresponsible behavior is to hold them seriously accountable to their Oath of Office. Give the oath some teeth, and enforce it.

and that it is the responsibility of other representatives to do so.

Elect me to Congress and I will immediately begin physically throwing these people out of sessions.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 8 points 5 days ago

Greene, and most of the GOP, just say stuff for feelings. Facts don't matter. That's it.

MAGA keep insisting they’re not fascists, but then keep doing & saying fascist-like shit.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 47 points 5 days ago

Wait until we get to the “Yeah, we’re fascists…” part and they get rid of any pretenses at all.

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

I know I deserve ridicule for watching this channel at all, but you should check out the recent Jubilee 1vs20 with Mehdi Hasan.

They are well past being comfortable calling themselves fascists outright. Not the sarcastic 'you called me one so I'll call myself too' but full tilt yes this is what they think.

Tldw: Just skip to 22:00 for blue shirt guy.

I saw clips of this and thought to post it on Lemmy, but I don't wanna platform jubilee at all. But yeah it's fucking crazy how fucking normalized straight up fascism is in today's world.

[-] gabbath@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Just a thing to keep in mind. These people are all trying to boost their YouTube channels or whatever. They're creators, not random people. They have a vested interest to act in ways that make them go viral.

That's not to say it takes away from the vileness, in fact it intensifies it because it's all the more deceitful to whoever tunes in. But that's kind of how fascism spreads: it pretends to be normality until enough people believe it is... and because of that, it actually becomes normal — it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So these people may not be anecdotal evidence that it's being normalized, but rather they are actively doing the normalizing.

Right after ICE has been deployed in all major blue cities and any opposition, like any critical journalists, activists and politicians, have been suitable intimidated or disappeared.

You know what they say: if it walks like a duck, if it talks like a duck...

It's surprisingly easy to get into this argument with people as soon as you use the f-word. Thankfully Wikipedia has a definition of fascism, and if that applies to somebody, then they're a fascist. I'm done with calling a spade a "nationalist authoritarian gardening implement".

Oh, but wikipedia has been taken over by the woke left! Argument terminated.

[-] blargle@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

They've still got Conservapedia ( www . conservapedia . com / Main_Page)... This is the best all the people who think Wikipedia is "woke Marxist indoctrination" could come up with to compete with Wikipedia- and its pathetic inadequacy speaks for itself.

Marjorie Taylor Green is white and therefore an illegal immigrant by definition.

Damn, now I'd like to see an alternative history narrative where native Americans were sufficiently armed and businesslike to seize the moment and start handing out resident permits to incoming Europeans. Peacefully of course. What would the result be after 200+ years?

I'm glad she left it at "First of all", because anything more would just allow MTG to spin her conspiracy BS. That's the Twitter-savvy AOC we love.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Second of all, I am reasonably confident AoC has more toes than MTG!

...

Wait, wait wait, this is not a foot fetish thing:

https://www.newsweek.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-feet-three-toes-photo-1784369

... well, ok, maybe it is a foot fetish thing, if you're into neanderthals who've been wearing horrendously fitting shoes/sandals for so long they've deformed their feet.

[-] hazl 10 points 5 days ago

I don't think it was worth following that link. I've now been to Newsweek and X and I feel gross. So here's the photo, if anyone else is curious. Pretty sure the article said it's not real, but I was kinda just skimming for an image of weird toes, so I'm not sure.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh it is gross in many ways, no argument there, gross feet, gross tabloid / social media bs...

But, this is apparently the state of modern US politics, and I wanted to give an at least semi-credible source, and not have to personally dive in to twitter to find the direct source.

Also, this is, I think, the real photo.

The fake one has MTG with only 3 visible toes on each foot.

Here, hers are splayed badly, and her pinky toes are basically crushed under/behind the sandal and adjacent toe, but you can still make them out.

EDIT: goddamnit.

Yeah, here it is, the fake, based off of the above image, that circulated around twitter:
