Marjorie Taylor Greene incorrectly states that Democrats want a civil war, sounding a lot like someone who wants a civil war

U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene continues her quest to fan the flames of rising political tensions with yet another divisive tweet. In an outlandish defense of the recently indicted former president Donald Trump, Greene made unsubstantiated claims that Democrats have “weaponized” the U.S. government and are seeking to lure hapless conservatives to commit violent acts and arrest them.

Democrats want civil war.
They want to push us into reacting so they can use their weaponized government to lock us all up.
They know Trump did not break the law. They know more than anyone because they’ve been trying for years to find a way to put him in jail and they can’t.…

Considering the fire-starting nature of Greene’s words, her tweet seems to be a study in projective identification, a psychological defense mechanism in which an individual assigns unacceptable thoughts, behavior, and actions to another. She recently called for the United States to be dissolved and divided according to political parties. She was quickly called out for her glaring hypocrisy.

Aren't you the one who called for a national divorce? The only people calling for civil war are you and your ilk.

Some questioned Greene’s willingness to vouch for Trump’s fluctuating virtue.

How do you know Trump’s innocent when you don’t even know what the charges or evidence is. Answer that question for us all please.

Another expressed disgust at Greene’s flagrant insincerity and advocated for due process.

Republicans are literally the only ones who have been talking about Civil war and it’s been for years. How can you be for law and order and accept letting the criminal process work itself out? If he is innocent then his testimony and evidence should prove it.

Another went way back in the archives to ridicule Greene’s disingenuous tweet, posting a hilarious meme of Donald Trump as the golden calf idolized by the feeble-minded in the Book of Exodus.

Incredibly, some take Greene’s words seriously, and one of her devotees agreed with her proposal for a national divorce, expressing frustration with people who do not share their views.

Let's just get on with the national divorce already. Too many irreconcilable differences between the left and right.

Others were keen to remind Greene of her previous call to divide the country, and enthusiastically told her what she could do with her unhinged rhetoric.
