Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday said she’s “done” with the Republican Party, which she said has turned into the “America LAST” party.

Her comments came after right-wing commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he was done with the party after voting Republican his entire life.

    Between her and Carlson, they’re setting the stage for a party split. It’s yet to be seen which faction will contain the most lunatics.

      I hope they form another party - let’s call it the Teabagger Party.

      The Teabagger Party can be like the Reform Party, the Constitution Party, the Libertarian Party and draw away votes from the Republicans. In this case, they might have a bit more star power than some of those other crank parties and help split the vote of Republicans enough to radically weaken their stranglehold on the country I love.

      Must be new to this game, every side has kooks and crazies, they’re useful. Of course the right has swung pretty hard into that camp lately. Really driving their christo-facist state, but it backfired when they ditched their isolationist stance and of course blatantly disregarded the poor in their camp. We should keep accurate receipts about the affects of the Big Beautiful Bill to drive it home that their party is the anti-middle class party, the bourgeoisie party. Shit would be wide open to whoever can bring down the cost of living.
