Wait, was it because she's too fascist or not fascist enough?
They're claiming it's because of what she said to Boebert, but it's probably because of how she's buddied up to McCarthy and they feel their job is to oppose him.
Probably neither:
"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Harris told Politico, referring to Greene's profane exchange with Boebert.
"I think the straw that broke the camel's back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should."
What did she say about boebert?

Edit: looks like the curse filter Broke that link. Just google “mtg called Biebert a little” and you’ll find it.
Let's see if the curse filter works on post outside of tankie.ml

Damn, it looks like it still got you.
Let's see if that gets filtered.

I've been considering a switch since my instance has a lot of issues with overloading. I like that yours doesn't censor words. Does lemm.ee have issues with too many people joining and overloading the server?
Nope, it's rocking solid. lemmy.ml is shit hole, full of tankies.
Yes.
A little of column a, alittle of column b.
Define Fascism.
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
Now we get to play a game.
Will the response be:
The left thinks everything they disagree with is fascism
The left are the real fascists for suppressing dissent/banning online trolls
No reply ever
I've got my money on #1, but they're all strong contenders.
Its 4. It’s just words and words don’t matter. Unless you want to be an election official, then we’ll ruin your life.
I'm going with #3 for now lol
It's always #3 when it comes down to it. Their ideology only makes sense in a bubble divorced from reality. Poke the bubble, reality starts seeping in, and the ensuing cognitive dissonance causes such a brain cramp that it's easier for them to ignore reality than accept it and adjust accordingly.
1 & 2 because they always want to attack. #3 if they're losing the argument.
What doesn't make sense to me is why Republicans are called Fascist. You say that it involves a "centralized autocratic government", but the whole belief of Republicans is LESS government involvement.
"Severe economic and social regimentation" that doesn't make sense either considering the liberal states are having a mass exodus in favor of Republican states like Texas. Fun fact, Texas is the #1 state for business in the USA with the highest growth, and despite its smaller population, it almost has the same GDP as California (and substantially less residents). If "Fascists" are so bad, why is everyone moving to their states?
"Forcible suppression of opposition" Democrats literally weaponized the FBI to take down their political oppositions lol.
Tell me you believe anything the media says without telling me.🤦♂️
PS: Trump sucks
Just addressing the "almost has the same GDP as California" statement
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_GDP
Nominal GDP 2022 California: $3,598,103 million USD Texas: $2,355,960 million USD
Per Capita GDP 2022 California: $92,190 Texas: $78,456

It's a common lie. The reality is that red states score much lower on every objective quality of life metric, while having much higher rates of things like violent crime, addiction and suicide than any blue state let alone any of the US's peer nations in the rest of the developed world. It's not even remotely close. With very few exceptions, the social pathologies we see throughout the US are concentrated in red states. Blue states have problems too, but they tend to be related to the fact that they are highly desirable places to live.
Yes
