U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has been voted out of the hardline House Freedom Caucus group after clashing with a fellow lawmaker, a caucus member said.

    Wait, was it because she’s too fascist or not fascist enough?

        a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

          What doesn’t make sense to me is why Republicans are called Fascist. You say that it involves a “centralized autocratic government”, but the whole belief of Republicans is LESS government involvement.

          “Severe economic and social regimentation” that doesn’t make sense either considering the liberal states are having a mass exodus in favor of Republican states like Texas. Fun fact, Texas is the #1 state for business in the USA with the highest growth, and despite its smaller population, it almost has the same GDP as California (and substantially less residents). If “Fascists” are so bad, why is everyone moving to their states?

          “Forcible suppression of opposition” Democrats literally weaponized the FBI to take down their political oppositions lol.

          Tell me you believe anything the media says without telling me.🤦‍♂️

          PS: Trump sucks

            Just addressing the “almost has the same GDP as California” statement

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_GDP

            Nominal GDP 2022 California: $3,598,103 million USD Texas: $2,355,960 million USD

            Per Capita GDP 2022 California: $92,190 Texas: $78,456

            ???

              It’s a common lie. The reality is that red states score much lower on every objective quality of life metric, while having much higher rates of things like violent crime, addiction and suicide than any blue state let alone any of the US’s peer nations in the rest of the developed world. It’s not even remotely close. With very few exceptions, the social pathologies we see throughout the US are concentrated in red states. Blue states have problems too, but they tend to be related to the fact that they are highly desirable places to live.

      Probably neither:

      “I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members,” Harris told Politico, referring to Greene’s profane exchange with Boebert.

      “I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should.”

                  I’ve been considering a switch since my instance has a lot of issues with overloading. I like that yours doesn’t censor words. Does lemm.ee have issues with too many people joining and overloading the server?

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
