It’s the people in Georgia that are disenfranchised. It doesn’t sound like Green has seriously been representing their interests and working to solve problems. Let’s hope someone less partisan gets elected in the State’s special election. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > It’s the people in Georgia that are disenfranchised. It doesn’t sound like Green has seriously been representing their interests and working to solve problems. Yes; as noted, she has clearly using her House seat as a platform to build her own reputation (notoriety?), and seems to take little interest in actual governance. Hell, during her first term, she was stripped of all her committee assignments a few weeks after being seated, due to her incendiary rhetoric; as that’s where a lot of actual work gets done in Congress, she essentially did no work for two years. She’s back on committees now, but I’m not sure that it’s really changed things much, other than making her attend meetings sometimes. > [@aceplace57](#): > > Let’s hope someone less partisan gets elected in the State’s special election. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pull the other leg; it’s got bells on it. She represents one of the most conservative districts in the country. I will guarantee you that whoever replaces her will be a far-right MAGA. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Has any Congressman ever resigned only because of a public dispute with a President? > > This seems like a bizarre new level of politics. When Trump was sworn in, there were many Republican members of the House who declared that it was their responsibility to push Trump’s agenda through. It wasn’t their responsibility to work with Trump or to even push their shared agenda, but to specifically push his _his_ agenda. For all intents and purposes, MAGA = Republican. When you have a dispute with Trump you have a dispute with all of MAGA. The party will turn against her if he says so. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Has any Congressman ever resigned only because of a public dispute with a President? I put this question to both Gemini and ChatGPT. ChatGPT found one from 1934: [New York Times: BECK TO GIVE UP SEAT IN CONGRESS; Says That Being 1/400 Part of Rubber Stamp No Longer Appeals to Him.](https://www.nytimes.com/1934/09/14/archives/beck-to-give-up-seat-in-congress-says-that-being-1400-part-of.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3E8.yhVv.Fecl3CchR19S&smid=url-share) > [@](#): > > "The present Congress has not only unlawfully delegated to the President its chief legislative powers, but in respect to the more important emergency legislation, it has denied to the minority any adequate opportunity to debate public questions or even to offer an amendment to proposed legislation. . . . > > “Our form of government can only be saved by the restoration of the Republican party to power, and I hope with my pen and voice to serve that party as effectually in the ranks as in Congress.” However, Greene may be the first to ever resign in a public dispute with a president of her own party. Someone might object that Beck more resigned in a dispute with congressional leadership than the President. But Greene also focused on congressional leadership. This is from [her resignation letter](https://time.com/7336228/marjorie-taylore-greene-resignation-letter-trump/?utm_source=beehiiv&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter-the-brief&_bhlid=d3ab3ba115018d0f7c1e4cdb723c8fa663c3cdb5): > [@](#): > > My bills which reflect many of President Trump’s Executive Orders like calling for a new census counting Americans only to draw new districts, making English the official language of the U.S., making it a felony to medically trans a minor, and other bills like eliminating capital gains taxes on the sale of your home and eliminating H1-B visas just sit collecting dust. That’s how it is for most members of Congress’s bills, the Speaker never brings them to the floor for a vote. ---

> [@PhillyGuy](#): > > However, Greene may be the first to ever resign in a public dispute with a president of her own party. A corner case, but Adam Kinzinger – one of two Republicans who served on the House January 6th Committee – chose to not run for re-election in 2022, after being vilified by Trump (and, by extension, the rest of his party) for his participation in the investigation. It’s only a corner case, because (a) Trump was not the _sitting_ president at the time, and (b) Kinzinger didn’t resign and step away in mid-term, as Greene is. (The other GOP member on that committee, Liz Cheney, who was similarly vilified, lost her re-election bid in 2022, as she was primaried by a Trump-supporting candidate.) ---

The Guardian’s political insights are very good. I agree that Republican cowardice enables Trump to do whatever he desires. Link [Marjorie Taylor Greene could have led the anti-Trump resistance but the mob boss got his way | Marjorie Taylor Greene | The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/22/marjorie-taylor-greene-anti-trump-republican-analysis) . > [@](#): > > But Greene’s departure shows all that may be wishful thinking for now. **In one timeline, she could have used the Epstein win as the foundation of an anti-Trump resistance in the Republican ranks. The party has spent the past decade demonstrating that cowardice is contagious; perhaps the courage to reassert congressional autonomy would be too.** > > It was not to be. Instead Greene follows the likes of fellow dissenters Liz Cheney, Bob Corker, Jeff Flake and Adam Kinzinger in heading for the exit. Trump has presided over the homogenisation of the Republican party: you are loyal to him or you are out. He drives out opposition with the fear and intimidation [tactics of a mob boss](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/07/donald-trump-america-mafia-state). ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > The Guardian’s political insights are very good. I agree that Republican cowardice enables Trump to do whatever he desires. Not incorrect, but there’s no particularly novel political insight on the part of the Guardian here. By the end of his first term (and certainly by 2022, when Kinzinger and Cheney had been run out of Congress), Trump had completely co-opted the GOP. Blind, vocal loyalty to Trump is now table stakes for being a Republican politician, and this has been a known fact for years. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > It’s the people in Georgia that are disenfranchised. It doesn’t sound like Green has seriously been representing their interests and working to solve problems. Is it really disenfranchisement if they gleefully, repeatedly choose it? Everywhere else in the country may think she is a lunatic who does nothing but damage her constituency, but as I said earlier, they actually love her there. I’d call it voluntary disenfranchisement - but then if it’s enfranchising what they are actually voluntarily, enthusiastically, repeatedly choosing, how is it actually disenfranchising? [Marjorie Taylor Greene - Elections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marjorie_Taylor_Greene#Elections) In 2020 she won with 74.7% of the vote In 2022 she won with 65.9% of the vote In 2024 she won with 64.4% of the vote. Given TFG’s horrible track record on candidates he backs, MTG could have survived a TFG back challenger in the Republican primaries. It just would have been nasty. ---

> [@Dissonance](#): > > Given TFG’s horrible track record on candidates he backs, MTG could have survived a TFG back challenger in the Republican primaries. It just would have been nasty. And potentially dangerous more than just politically. Thing is, most members who chose to leave simply announce they will not run again so why not just sit out the last year of the term? Because for her at this point that would still mean a whole very unenjoyable year of being in a constant slapfight with Trump and the MAGAs over her specific issues, all for perhaps the small satisfaction of a parting “told ya so” if the GOP blows the midterms. ---

> [@Dissonance](#): > > Is it really disenfranchisement if they gleefully, repeatedly choose it? It could be disenfranchisement if it’s gerrymandered. They don’t _look_ gerrymandered on a map, and I don’t recall and can’t find any controversy about redistricting in Georgia. However, Georgia is around 50/50 in voting, but has 9 R representative and 5 Ds. There is 1 competitive district, held by a D. Two semi-competitive districts held by an R with a margin between 10 and 20. Which is safe but not immune. But all of the D safe districts won by more than _40_ points differential, whereas the other GOP districts won by more than 20 but less than 40. 20 is what I would aim for if I were asked to do a gerrymander, since it would make the seat nearly unlosable unless you nominate someone exceptionally unlikeable which only happens once every few few years nationwide. ---
