This compilation of “The MTG Story” is just depressing. That someone so uneducated and wacko can be elevated to her current position of power in Congress is an embarrassment that I feel at every day. When we are faced with serious problems and time is taken up with such drivel it seems like we are heading down a greased tube to a bad ending.

MTG and her house compatriots are a problem but they are not THE problem. Ask yourself how all those conservative voters have become so hateful, paranoid, aggrieved and angry that they would vote for someone like MTG. The answer is Rush and Rupert and their many imitators in the profitable dis-information industry. Over a thirty years period these parasites created a base so untethered from reality that they make the MTGs of the political world possible. The First Amendment was not written as a built-in poison pill for our experiment in self rule. We either regulate the dis-information industry or we continually teeter on the edge

self destruction.

Susan, I too wondered what her level of education is. She does have a degree from University of Georgia. But the noxious bile that poisons her mind seems to have erased any education she may have acquired.

Daddy was a right wing nut according to the Atlantic piece.

Dad wrote a book where he describes the“Taylor Effect”—which purports to predict the stock market based on the gravitational fluctuations of Earth" "...in the afterword, he likened himself to da Vinci, Galileo, Edison, Marconi, and the Wright brothers."

Patt, it's not a surprise for me to learn this. There is a strong genetic component for many psychiatric disorders.

So delusions, including those of grandeur, are passed down genetically through her family. Interesting.
