Wait a minute, we're actually taking all this time to compare MTG to AOC, lol? 

Well, just for shits and giggles, let's take a look here...

Yeah, pretty much equals there.  Yup... uhh huhhhh...

I don’t think anyone said they are equals.
Butbthey both represent the extreme of their group, are more popular within their group and more hated outside it than almost any other representative.

With that they are similar. Personally they are very different.

I guess it depends on how you define extreme.  If AOC were advocating monkey wrenching or taking republican senators hostage or something, that would be extreme.  She is definitely more left than most in the House, but that alone does not make her extreme.  MTG, on the other hand is extreme.  I don't even need to explain how- we all know she is.

Bri, I reckon the how is important. I’ve been pointing out the main difference, that MTG is violent, but commenters don’t seem to care,



” a recent campaign video, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican from Georgia, likened Democrats to destructive feral hogs allowed to range free and destroy the American countryside.

But Marjorie had a solution:

As the camera followed her, she grabbed a rifle and climbed aboard a waiting helicopter, where she tracked down and shot a fleeing hog.

God, that makes me want to puke.  I remember I just graduated in high school when that came out and we were driving to Cedar Point after prom ( Cleveland tradition) and the fucking girls with us wanted to play that over and over.  The terrible post prom high school sex didn't even seem worth it at that point.

You were dating the wrong ladies.
MTG would have rocked the world.

It's a stretch to call anything we did "dating".  That gives it much more class than it deserved.

Ha. One of my best friend's girlfriend at the time went out and bought Pornograffitti on cassette after she heard MTW on the radio. She was horrified when she listened to the rest of the album and when we were out on a double date asked me if I wanted the cassette knowing my taste in music.
Kind of a shame that Extreme is basically remembered by the public on for that song.

I don't understand for the life of me why this gets dragged on.  It's a true statement.  Left drags AOC through the mud and right drags MTG through the mud.  That is all I said, didn't say same same, compared the two in any other way, said one is better than the other.  

If I had said they were both politicians some of you would disagree..

MTG uses VIOLENCE to expand her power, exploits those without the money or power to protect themselves, and on and on, which is the exact opposite of AOC. How people don’t understand this fundamental difference is beyond me. But WTF do I know.

Not what i said, not what I said... Dear lord people...Yes they are different but they both are attacked by the other party.  That is all I was saying but continue to take a different approach.

I think you said something along the lines of 'MTG is the GOPs answer to AOC' which is a pretty interesting statement in and of itself, but i digress.

Since this is the MTG thread, here's some more very serious governing from the GOP's version of AOC: 

House Votes to Reduce Defense Secretary’s Salary to $1 Amid Funding Battle

https://themessenger.com/politics/house-votes-to-reduce-defense-secretarys-salary-amid-funding-battle

Yes but my statement immediately after that should have shown what I was referring to. they are both lightning rods.

Man I'm exhausted from this...

I thought it was pretty clear that you said both sides are the same and defended the Republican Party and said AOC is actually much worse than MTG. Not sre how anyone could have gotten anything else from your posts.

AOC is very liberal and MTG is very conservative?

They both have three letter nicknames?

the other side attacks them because they are outspoken females?

I’ll give you the last one, but that can be true of many in DC, not really attributes of their respective identities that they share.

It’s dangerous to compare anyone to trump or MTG…Those two believe violence against other Americans for their own political benefit is reasonable. They couldn’t be any more different on how they treat the other side.

 The danger is most of us have friends and family members that like these violent politicians “…oh he’s joking, oh she really doesn’t want to shoot democrats.” And we can’t scream at our friends so we need to mitigate or forget about the threat that this recent violence brings into our political discourse. Yet political violence is on the rise.

No.

Marjorie Greene, whether you like it or not is literally calling the shots in the maga republican party. She has raised more money and has  more power than almost all of their 220 or so members. She is not fringe anymore. She is regularly talking to the former president. She is reportedly on his list of possible running mate candidates. The "fringe" you feel she represents is Donald Trump's base and they are the reason he is far and away the likely nominee for that clown show party. 

Putting aside the fact that one is for democracy and the other played a role in trying to end it, they are not similar, other than both being female members of congress I guess. 

Is that not also true, maybe to a lesser extent, with AOC? Some of her policies that she pushed that were considered extreme a few years ago are now much more common. Free college, free healthcare, the green agenda? She's probably not on anyone's list for VP, but her ideas have become a lot more popular, what was considered extreme a few years ago are accepted by her party. 

Actually bi-partisan polling would suggest doing something about climate change and making healthcare way more affordable, and making college way less expensive is not extreme. Maybe some of what she's proposing goes further than what the majority of the public supports but, in general, people are for these things.

Bipartisan polling would not say the same thing about MGT's agenda, which is...wait, what's her agenda for helping people? Helping Trump regain power after she helped him try stay in power? Pushing for an impeachment of Biden literally the first day she came into office? She is a clown pulling the strings in the clown show party that has done nothing but hold sham hearings all year long. Today is a perfect example. 

I think it's an enormous stretch to say these two are comparable if you're actually looking at what they stand for, what they've done, and how they go about their business. If you're just looking at it from a strictly superficial level and looking at how they are perceived by people who largely do not know much about them, then it becomes easier--but that's a lazy argument in my opinion.

Exactly. A serious person.

Some might say, well you can find clips of MGT doing the same thing......no, no  you cannot. Not without catching her in multiple lies stacked up upon moronic comment after moronic comment.
