Not So Greene On The Other Side!

If you hate the party so much, leave. Marjorie Taylor Greene is angry at the Republicans for bowing to Israel and making Trump betray America First.

The insufferable Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) loves President Donald J, Trump. She believes he will bring America to greatness. You know, the white way.

The Republican Party and its elites, not so much.

The America First policies that drove Trump to a second term were just "words and speeches." Trump has quickly picked up the second term curse.

The reasons for the second term curse: 
  1. Trump pushed for tariffs on trading partners causing uncertainty in the U.S. economy. It has driven prices up on consumer goods and food. 
  2. Trump has not solved inflation. As prices continue to rise, more Americans are frustrated with spending more on groceries, fuel, consumer products and travel.
  3. Trump has continued to give taxpayer money to billionaires. He continues to give taxpayer funding to Israel despite the country being active in a genocide, an apartheid and continuous global chaos.
  4. Trump is trying to punish critics of his policies. He is pushing for citizens to jailed for protesting Israel. He is arresting political opponents. He is not focused on arresting immigrants who committed crimes. He is arresting lawful immigrants.
  5. Trump has not transparent on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, his health and fitness records.
  6. Trump has caused instability with the federal government. The DOGE cuts have led to the unceremonious termination of thousands of federal workers. It has led to our government being unstable and federal agencies not being available for the American people.
  7. Trump at the behest of Israel has struck Yemen, Iran and Chad. The Trump Administration have sanctioned former International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim A.A. Khan, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese and South African Ambassador to the U.S., Ebrahim Rasool. The Trump administration placed sanctions on ICC judges Solomy Balungi Bossa (Uganda), Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza (Peru), Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou (Benin), and Beti Hohler (Slovenia). Trump had called for Gaza to be rebuilt through U.S. forces on the ground. Trump has concluded that Israel should rebuild (effectively erasing Gaza and the West Bank).  
  8. The jobs reports are not looking good. With stagnant wages and Americans being angry at the lack of opportunities, the Trump Administration cannot focus on bring jobs back and building a better middle class.
  9. The people who voted for Trump are disappointed that he cannot stay focused on issues that matter. Everyday its been a culture war or endless insults on people.
  10. Trump is old. He is showing daily signs of cognitive decline and dementia.
Greene wanted to run for the U.S. Senate or governor of Georgia. The Republicans opposed the idea citing that she is extremely toxic and could take the party down.

She was not happy about it.

Greene actually had a bill that would stop funding Israel. It only got the backing of Reps. Summer Lee (D-PA), Andre Carson (D-IN), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Thomas Massie (R-KY). The Republicans and Democrats who continue to support Israel refuses to table any bills from her.

After telling the Daily Mail this week she was questioning whether she still belongs in the Republican fold, the Georgia congresswoman told the Guardian she would not become independent or seek a third party option.

“No – I’m urging my own party to support ‘America first’,” Greene said.

Still, she made clear resounding frustration with GOP leadership and her place within the party’s planning.

“I don’t know if the Republican party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican party as much any more,” Greene said in the Daily Mail interview. “I don’t know which one it is.”

Greene, who boasts 7.5 million followers on X and commands one of the largest social media audiences of any Republican woman, accused party leaders of betraying core conservative principles.

She did not criticize Trump himself, instead preferring to express her ire for what she attempted to paint as political elites.

“I think the Republican party has turned its back on ‘America first’ and the workers and just regular Americans,” she said, warning that GOP leadership was reverting to its “neocon” past under the influence of what she termed the “good ole boys” network.

The 51-year-old lawmaker, in the roughly six-month mark following Trump’s return to the White House, said she was particularly frustrated with the House speaker, Mike Johnson, saying: “I’m not afraid of Mike Johnson at all.”

Her remarks reflect a broader pattern of voter dissatisfaction with traditional party structures. Americans appear to also be holding deeply unfavorable views of both major parties: a July Wall Street Journal poll found 63% view the Democratic party unfavorably, its worst rating in 35 years, while Republicans fare only marginally better in most surveys.

Independent or independent-leaning Americans now account for nearly half the electorate, according to July Gallup polling, and public support has increasingly shifted toward Democrats through those leaners in recent months.

On Monday, Greene used social media to criticize the lack of accountability over what she deems key issues to the base, sharing a table showing no arrests for the “Russian Collusion Hoax”, “Jan 6th”, and “2020 Election”.

“Like what happened all those issues? You know that I don’t know what the hell happened with the Republican Party. I really don’t,” she said in the interview. “But I’ll tell you one thing, the course that it’s on, I don’t want to have anything to do with it, and I just don’t care any more.”

Her recent bills have targeted unconventional Republican territory: preventing cloud-seeding, making English the official US language, and cutting capital gains taxes on homes. She is also the first Republican in Congress to label the crisis in Gaza a genocide, and has called for ending foreign aid and using the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) to cut down fraud and waste in the government.

Greene acknowledged her isolation within the party, saying: “I’m going alone right now on the issues that I’m speaking about.”
