Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls It ‘Wise’ to Bar Democrats Who Move to Red States From Voting

If red states and blue states were to “divorce” each other, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called it possible that people who move from a Democratic state to a Republican state would be barred from voting for a temporary “cooling off” period.

California’s seen an influx in people moving out of the state and many have opted to go to Texas and Florida, where residents can get more bang for their buck. However, some, including Greene, have complained that those who are leaving California are bringing their political beliefs with them and potentially shifting the political landscape.

On Wednesday, the Georgia congresswoman posted on Twitter that “brainwashed people” who move from California and New York need a “cooling-off period.” Her comment was in response to a Twitter user who wrote he supports discriminating against Democratic transplants, including restricting their ability to vote for a period of time. He also wrote that they should have to “pay a tax for their sins.”

When Greene first put the poll out she came under criticism from social media users. Some called her out for breaking the United States up into red and blue states instead of just one country and seeming to advocate for civil war. Some noted that although Georgia is a swing state, it went for Biden in the 2021 election, and has become increasingly blue over the years.
