Why do people go into politics? For some, it’s a calling and a desire to make a difference in their constituents’ lives. For others, it’s to do things like cut taxes for the rich and go to bat for pharmaceutical executives. For freshman representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, it’s to have a platform from which to spout every unhinged thought that comes into her brain, and elicit responses like “Wow, that‘s messed up” and “Hey, maybe this person shouldn’t be allowed near the room where bills are voted on” and “What the hell is wrong with her?”

For example, at a gathering over the weekend, Greene took the time to suggest that women are defined by being property of men. Responding to Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s refusal to be dragged into the GOP’s culture war du jour—during her confirmation hearing, Jackson declined to provide a definition of a woman for anti-trans Tennessee senator Marsha Blackburn—Greene told the Georgia Republican Assembly, “I’m going to tell you right now what is a woman. We came from Adam’s rib. God created us with his hands. We may be the weaker sex, we are the weaker sex, but we are our partner’s, our husband’s, wife".
