I share your general sense of unease, and for exactly the same reason(s). There was a brief moment after January 6th where I had the faint hope that maybe the day's horror might shake Trump's grip over the party, but that quickly faded and now, as we're finding out, it hasn't diminished one bit. Arguably, it's even stronger.
As for the despicable Marjorie Taylor-Greene, she's an insurrectionist with a Member of Congress' privileges. That makes her incredibly dangerous. The videos of her that have surfaced, along with her insane tweets have resulted in her actually becoming MORE popular. There has been zero fallout for her because of what she's said and done. She's every bit as bad POTUS45, the only difference being that he isn't in power anymore (even if he still thinks he is).
Both Boebert and Greene need to be expelled, along with Hawley and Cruz, but there's little chance of that happening. Our only recourse, in that event, is to keep the pressure on them & their constituents. Hopefully saner heads will prevail in 2022 - if we keep up the constant focus on their ineptitude, callousness, rudeness, and downright meanness. We also have to make sure that we work just as hard to turn out for the midterms as we did for 2020; to let up will cost us and the country too dearly to contemplate.
I love Corey and I relate! I live in Colorado, in the district that elected Lauren Boebert, AKA Qbert. I did not vote for her. I am embarrassed to admit she is our house rep. I constantly see comments such as “what were they (voters) thinking? I want her expelled from Congress as well as MTG!
Expel her, there will be another. Midterm elections are next year, watch who's up for re-election and who's "retiring". The midterms may be a stepping block to 2024. This is going to be a constant battle, that will fall on us, the voters. I find it difficult to rationalize the lack of repercussions to these traitors. I am back to waking up, every morning, and asking, "now what?"
Please DON’T use her initials! With RBG it was a mark of respect, honor, and, yes, love. She earned them. AOC is earning them. Greene is a ghoul with a deep black soul, a gun whore who pulls the train for every QAnon conspiracy nut out there. Find an appellation for her that works for you, but don’t use her initials.

Thank you, Amee for this excellent reporting.
"Qbert"!!! LMAO--that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Thank you Amee. No matter how much healing magic dust Biden sprinles over us these Qs are relentless. It is exhausting and terrifying.
