"Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling for an American “divorce.”
She apparently sees herself as a modern-day John C. Calhoun, a demagogue who
serves the interests of the white oligarch class and, in turn, receives their
support, and the power and wealth that come with it.
She's started a secession propaganda campaign much like Calhoun and his buddies
did when he left the White House as VP in 1833, the same year England outlawed
slavery on British-territory plantations and talk of abolition in the US kicked
into high gear.
It took Calhoun and his fellow traitors about 25 years to convince enough
people in the South to go to war against America and try to replace our
democracy with a fascist, race-based oligarchy.
But today—with electronic media providing instant communication and AR15s being
much more efficient killing machines than the Confederacy had available—the
heirs to Calhoun's sedition apparently think they can pull it off in a much
shorter time."
