Marjorie Taylor Greene just called for a national divorce again

Marjorie Taylor Greene revived her calls for a national divorce in a frenzied social media post that called for the division of the nation between those who support President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda and those who don’t support his policy plans. 

The Georgia Congresswoman was specifically zeroing in on the growing divide between red-state and blue-state governors over Trump’s plans for the next four years, plans that blur state governors are poised to threaten as he takes office. 

The Daily Beast noted that recent reports have indicated that some blue state governors are working together in order to oppose the worst of what Trump has said he planned to do when he takes office, such as his mass deportation policies. 

For example, California Governor Gavin Newsom has already called a special legislative session in the state to figure out how California can safeguard its values and rights in the face of a second Trump term.

Colorado and Illinois Governors Jared Polis and J.B. Pritzker are reportedly creating a coalition of American governors that plan to safeguard democracy and protect the country’s state-level institutions from the federal government during Trump’s next four years. 

Greene responded to the moves by blue state governors on X in a post that read: “With Democrat governors threatening the upcoming Trump administration’s mandate by the American people… I’m still in favor of a national divorce if need be.”

“If Democrat governors plan to commit treason against our President and the majority of Americans then let them destroy their own states,” Greene continued before adding that no one would want to live in those states as a result of their actions. 

“After years of being attacked by the deranged left, most of us are so sick of their crap,” Greene added. However, this wasn’t the first time the Georgia Congresswoman called for a national divorce over differences between the left and right. 

In February 2023, Greene publicly called for a national divorce in a way that made many believe she was advocating for a second U.S. Civil War according to The Independent. She would later double down on her comments. 

Greene explained in a February 21st, 2023 post on X that the left and right in America had reached a point where their differences were irreconcilable. She suggested that a national divorce rather than a civil war was the answer. 

According to Greene, a national divorce, unlike a civil war, would be a legal agreement that could separate America’s “ideological and political disagreements by states while maintaining our legal union.” 

“I’ll speak for the right and say, we are absolutely disgusted and fed up with the left cramming and forcing their ways on us and our children with no respect for our religion/faith, traditional values, and economic & government policy beliefs,” Greene explained. 

During an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Greene defended her idea and explained that everyone she spoke with in everyday life was “sick and tired and fed up with being bullied by the left, abused by the left, and disrespected by the left.”

“Our ideas, our policies, and our ways of life have become so far apart that it’s just coming to that point. And the last thing I ever want to see in America is a civil war,” Greene continued. 

“No one wants that – at least everyone I know would never want that – but it’s going that direction and we have to do something about it,” Greene continued. 

Whether or not Greene’s assessment of the political situation in the United States is correct has yet to be seen, but with Trump back in power, we should expect to hear more worrying ideas from his most fervent followers.
