Deadlifting Trash: GWW Marjorie Taylor Greene's BIG NEWS

It's as we all suspected, she's a dirty little hypocrite: this week's NSFS is unabashedly a gossip column #you'rewelcome

In this post: it's as we all suspected, she's a dirty hypocrite... NSFS gossip column edition.

Last week: the NSFS September award for worst GWW goes to... my hometown fascist hero.

Next week: what we can learn from Canada's project and why without it, history repeats in the ugliest of ways.

Oh hey folks,

Trash is as trash does. Thank you to all of you who reached out to share in the revelry of mocking a fascist small-town QAnon politician Marjorie Taylor Greene, who won NSFS’s Generic White Woman Award for September. It’s the small, petty things in life that are apparently getting us all through ::gestures vaguely:: to the $hit show of global events. 

While Putin was busy illegally annexing parts of Ukraine, our Dumb & Dumber American version of a fascist leader, Marjorie Taylor Greene, was busy double-dipping on sex with gym instructors and “polyamorous sex guru’s” resulting in her husband filing for divorce after 25 years of marriage.

My people being what they are (gossip mongers), of course, the filing was leaked from my hometown of Rome, GA the day after last week’s NSFS. ::evil smile::

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled QAnon congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘openly cheated’ on her husband of 25 years with a polyamorous tantric sex guru and then moved on to another affair with the manager at her gym.”

LOLOLOL. There’s so much delicious content to unpack, how could I not do a follow up post?

Thank god for Facebook overshares, because I don’t know about y’all, but I loved getting a look at those thunderous thighs of one of the unfortunate men who chose to have sex with that woman:

The other one of her former lovers (who did not deny the affair, and is depicted on the right, Meat Head that he is, lifting what I assume is a lot of weight), said AND I QUOTE, “I have no interest in talking about anything to do with that woman. Everything with her comes to no good.”

EVEN HER LOVERS HATE HER. ::giggles with churlish delight::

LOL, y’all reading the wrong newsletter if you think I’m about to Michelle Obama “when they go low, we go high” shit. 

My immediate thought was: of course it was gym related. This fitness maniac gets all her good ideas from her cult-ish obsession with exercise (spoiler alert, honey: a perfect body still ain’t gonna fix that face or that attitude). Last week, I wrote about how Marjorie Taylor Greene spends her time coming up with comedic bits about the “President” of Canada, electric planes, and slave ships powered by a spin class from hell. So, I guess it only tracks that her affairs would also take place in a gym context.

*Classic* GWW Move: Marjorie Taylor Greene has asked for privacy in light of this news.

::devil face emoji:: 

This same woman, spouting QAnon idiocy, filmed herself chasing Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg down the street, and regularly spouts racist, dumb, homophobic and transphobic “hot takes” to her troll followers, is asking for some decency she ain’t never shown to literally anyone else (certainly not her cuckold of a husband, wamp wamp).

NSFS says absolutely not.

See her tweet from September 25 (the same day her divorce news broke) below:

THE AUDACITY of making a transperson the controversial subject matter on the day when all we wanted to be doing was gawking at her lover’s beefy thighs:

ON THE SAME DAY THAT SHE ASKED FOR PRIVACY, SHE WAS BUSY TWEETING ANTI-TRANS RHETORIC.

She’s said far worse things about trans people than the tweet below: as this article outlines: “Marjorie Taylor Green Posts Willfully Transphobic Tweets” directed at Assistant Secretary of Health Admiral Rachel Levine from this summer. However, note how many likes and retweets this “dog whistle” earned her. She knows how to play directly to her base: 12.8K likes.

What my home-town does in the next election will most likely disappoint us, and here’s why:

Hot Local Gossip:

My father comes in as my main source for gossip on Marjorie Taylor Greene this week. He requested that I issue a clarification, that she and I are technically not “from the same place.” Or as my dad texted me last week:

“Just to clarify, Marjorie is NOT from Rome. She is a carpetbagger* from Gwinnett County [Context: literally the next county over from mine] who moved here because there was an open house seat 2 years ago. She apparently hired a consultant group in Manhattan. They looked at our district and told her “if you do exactly what we tell to do you will win” and she did.”

This New Yorker profile: How the “QAnon Candidate” Marjorie Taylor Greene Reached the Doorstep of Congress,” from 2020 divulges as much as well, so my sources have been fact-checked.

As a few other Southern readers wrote in (who knew there were so many of you, hey y’all!), noting that since she’s so big now, and elections in this country being what it is, that it might be too little too late. Lamenting her rise to power might be a bit like crying over spilt milk.

I wonder if sexism and double-standards will be enough for this news to knock her out of her seat, but honestly, I doubt it. That Manhattan firm my dad was talking about did their research: she is a tailor-made to the unique hillbilly racism of northwest Georgia. 

*The term “carpetbagger” can be considered the penultimate southern insult, and while originally referred to “yankees” (northerners) coming to the south following the Civil War, is now generally used about anyone who is Not From These Parts. For a measure of how hateful this word is, I was instructed as a child to never use the word in polite company.

In other news…

Here I was last week planning ahead for this week’s post to be all about Florida’s continued descent into an education system dominated by homophobic, sexist, and racist books after the latest slate of banning books that promote tolerance, empathy, and general humanity. But then it looks like God (who is a woman), had OTHER plans for Flouncy Florida’s Foolishness: Hurricane Ian. 

Is it karma that Florida got slammed right after book banning and general foolishness? That’s certainly not for me to say, though what an interesting timing of events. More on that next week…

Until then, don’t forget to take out the trash,

Allison
