I don’t disagree that racism is a large part of the appeal. But I think you are underestimating the extent to which the “strongman” / “warrior” mindset is important on the right. To an extent, obviously, they are mutually reinforcing.
My point is that, even if they don’t take her apology seriously, the fact that she was forced to apologize (even disingenuously) means, in their mind, that she lost. That she is weak in a world that demands strength.
It’s been said by many historians that if it wasn’t for American Jim Crow and the late 19th century eugenics movement the Nazis would of had far less to use and weaponize on their population. They were even big fanboys of Gone with the wind.
So now she’ll be emboldened to grunt even less intelligent utterances knowing that she can walk them back with impunity after they’ve done as much damage as possible.
Do not play nicely with stupid, ugly troll doll cosplayers from Georgia.
…Greene said. “And there are words that I have said, remarks that I have made, that I know are offensive, and for that, I want to apologize.” –emphasis added
Note the distinct absence of the word “now” in the highlighted statement. If she knew they were offensive, I guess she’s apologizing for saying them out loud? Clearly she isn’t “sorry” in any way.
Silly. He should have kept on pushing censure. Put the members of the House on record for all to see. This stinks of an “agreement” of an insincere apology ( and very late ) from Greene and backing off censure in order to keep faces clean.
Until Democrats learn how to act they’ll be nothing of value.
Fortunately she’s so fucking dumb we won’t be dragged into a “critical race theory” trope by her. Can you imagine Greene trying to define that abstruse topic?
“We need names and answers about the FBI operatives, who were involved in organizing and carrying out the Jan 6th Capitol riot,” Greene tweeted Wednesday. “First they had a ‘back up plan’ to stop Trump in Russia Collusion witch hunt, now we are finding out they were deeply involved in Jan 6th. Deep State.”
