Marjorie Taylor Greene takes on a new job after her resignation – it is as brain-numbing as the last one

Outgoing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene wants her millions of followers on X to know one thing: social media is not real. She has started to craft a new identity as the sober self-appointed philosopher in politics, pontificating about the divisive nature of modern American discourse — but it does raise the question of why she never mentions her own role in creating it.

Greene’s statement on X touched on all the familiar themes, and to her credit, they are real challenges. Political rhetoric has become hateful and toxic, even leading to increased talk of political assassinations. Her sudden pivot to moderation has surprised everyone, including President Donald Trump, and it doesn’t take a political scientist to see that it may have cost her influence within the MAGA sphere.

Only 20% of Americans are on X.

And this is where the Political Industrial Complex controls a hive mind with hyper partisan politics.

It’s toxic, hateful, and divisive.

Many accounts are paid and many are foreign and they post and comment all day with targeted talking points…

Greene also accurately claims that foreign-run accounts on X have been posing as pro–American values while sowing division between left and right. And while Musk’s handling of the platform has been questionable, it would be dishonest to pretend Mark Zuckerberg’s platforms — Facebook and Instagram — are immune to the same issues.

But Greene appears to have taken on the role of being the moral compass of Americans. She is now urging her followers to focus on “real life” is noteworthy because real life includes the many conspiracies she has spent years spreading. Most people remember how she amplified repeatedly debunked claims about the 2020 election and insisted the Pentagon was struck by a U.S. government missile on 9/11.

If she genuinely wants to address the misinformation poisoning American politics, a mirror would be a good place to start. Greene has blamed Texas flooding on secret government weather manipulation, compared COVID mandates to Nazi propaganda, and spread countless other baseless theories — many of them originating directly from her X account.

There’s a time and place for an exhaustive list of her unsubstantiated claims. The issue here is something else: a familiar pattern of MAGA figures — former or current — trying to distance themselves from a political environment they helped build.

Meanwhile, Trump still refuses to firmly denounce fringe extremists like Nick Fuentes, an openly white nationalist antisemite who heavily influences young followers far beyond X. His videos thrive on Instagram, TikTok, and every major platform, shaping opinions worldwide.

History has repeatedly shown that hate does not thrive in a vacuum. Greene spent years weaponizing conspiracies and incitement to climb the political ladder, and now that the culture she fostered has turned volatile, she’s trying to act naïve. That isn’t enough. 

It’s not enough to log off and retreat into the comfort her political career afforded her. Now is the time for accountability — and for her to start reeducating the followers she helped mislead. The uncomfortable truth is that the effects of MAGA far exceed the toxicity it injected into X. There are now loud and proud neo-Nazis, people openly championing regime change in Venezuela so oil companies can reap even greater profits, and people preaching against the basic human instinct of empathy.

These are ingredients for a situation that threatens the very fabric of humanity. And the solution isn’t to let it continue thriving, but to counter it at every turn.
