    Of course they do, they’re not as dumb as she is. She actually believed his bullshit while all the other Republicans are just greedy and/or cowards. The only reason 90% of them even follow along and spew his bullshit is because they have something they want or have something they don’t wanna lose. You can almost see the distain in their faces when he speaks to the press next to them. Whenever I see someone like Mike Johnson speak the only thing I see is a man that desperately wants to take advantage of everyone he doesn’t like but deep down wishes everything would go back to normal. But now he’s too scared to do either so he just says “I don’t know” whenever anyone asks him a question.

      Honestly, Greene might be a savvier politician than she gets credit for.

      • She picks the right coat tails to run on the first time.
      • She is loud and visible in a way that everyone knows her name.
      • She picks the right time to exit Congress to further her future goals of public office and also give the appearance of distancing herself from the now-toxic coattails she ran behind.

      I’m sure there are more examples, but those stick out as “there’s a lot of acting here to look a certain way.”

      She’s absolutely a likely dark triad personality candidate, so I hate her. But I have to admit she’s a clever politician.

        Don’t need to be a genius to get elected in Alabama. Just be contrarian. She saw her political career ending because of the local damage to the economy.
