When Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted the names and numbers of GOP lawmakers earlier this month who had voted for Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill, it immediately resulted in some pretty serious threats against them.

It’s not hard to believe that was on purpose.

Now Greene is back at it, appearing on Steve Bannon’s podcast shortly after he was released without bail. She didn’t waste any time in repeating the Big Lie and blaming the “fraudulent” election for all of the GOP’s woes:

Joe Biden didn’t win the 2020 election and everything we’re seeing is a result of that. And it’s going to frustrate our voters. They are sick and tired of electing people over and over again that continue to fail us, continue to create more debt and continue the long slow slide into a communist country.

It’s an old trope at this point, calling anything to the left of economic and social fascism “communism.” But Marjorie is a true believer:

Because our freedoms are so precious, Steve, that we do not want to lose them and the only way you get freedom back after you’ve lost it is with the price of bl00d.

And no one wants a civil war in America. And that’s why I’m going to be pushing hard in my Republican conference to hold not only Democrats accountable but Republicans accountable as well.

But that trope is just as old — say “no one wants” civil war, but at the same time, present that as what will happen if things don’t go their way.

Later in the show she exhorted her followers not to do what they had done to the lawmakers she’d called out over the infrastructure bill, but at this point, it’s all code for Republican voters. Just like when Donald Trump said “stand back and stand by” to his white supremacist supporters, Greene knows that just by saying a civil war will come if voters don’t hold the line against “communism,” they will be pushed to act.
