Marjorie Taylor Greene Appears To Call For Civil War With New Twitter Poll—And People Are Pissed

Far-right Georgia Republican Representative and QAnon devotee Marjorie Taylor Greene has once again angered many with a controversial tweet that has some calling for her to be banned from the platform.

Again.


Greene posted a poll on Twitter earlier today asking if America should "have a national divorce," a question some have interpreted as a call for a second civil war.

See the tweet below.


Greene is a far-right darling who regularly peddles conspiracy theories, is believed by many to have aided and abetted the January 6 insurrection and has made a name for herself since taking office in January by harassing and attacking Democrats.

Literally.

Her poll asked people to choose to divide America "by R[epublican] & D[emocratic] states" or to "stay together." Those on the fence could choose "Undecided."

As of this writing, a plurality of Greene's followers and other poll respondents want America to "divorce" along party lines. States don't have political parties, of course, but Greene is presumably referencing a "blue state" and "red state" divide.

Many far-right conservatives who share Greene's political beliefs, especially those with ties to white nationalist groups, have been advocating for a second civil war for years. Many such groups were active participants in the January 6 coup attempt on the U.S. Capitol. Greene has repeatedly defended the insurrectionists and vociferously opposed investigations into the event.

So it's no surprise that her suggesting a "national divorce" raised more than a few eyebrows.

Many on Twitter were outraged.








Others schooled Greene on the absurdity of her tweet.







The question of a Democrat vs. Republican split of the country is a curious one to ask on Greene's part, given her home state of Georgia became a "D state" in the 2020 election for the first time since 1980.

Hope she's ready to spend her non-Washington time in The People's Republic of Democratland in her imagined America of the future.

AOC Has Mic Drop Response To MAGA Republicans Who Try To Mock 'Democratic Priorities'

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez issued a powerful rebuke against President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, pointing out why mocking things like affordable housing and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as "Democrat priorities" ultimately hurts Republicans.

Ocasio-Cortez, speaking during a CNN town hall alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, accused Republicans of refusing to work to end the government shutdown, stressing that the country’s health care system could collapse if Republicans refuse to meet Democrats’ demands in negotiations.

GOP Rep. Blames Coordinated 'Ruse' After Swastika Image Is Seen Displayed In His Office

Ohio Republican Representative Dave Taylor demanded an investigation after a swastika image was found on display in his Washington, D.C., office, and blamed it on a "targeted" "ruse."

Politico obtained a photo from a virtual meeting showing a distorted image of the American flag—its red and white lines altered into the shape of a swastika— pinned to what appears to be a cubicle wall behind Angelo Elia, a staffer for Taylor. Beside it hung a pocket Constitution and a congressional calendar. Elia’s involvement in the incident, if any, remains unclear.
