What’s Behind Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Sudden Pivot To Assist Gen-Z? The Millennial-Erasing Shift, Defined

For the primary time in her political profession — and presumably her total life — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is spouting off one thing with some sense behind it.

Take a look at your home windows for flying pigs, America, as a result of considered one of our nation’s most embarrassingly inept right-wing leaders is definitely complaining about one thing reputable. Greene, contemporary off pouting about Trump’s mounting authorized charges and her incapacity to rip away the rights of U.S. residents with impunity, truly tweeted out some sense within the early hours of March 27. She expressed sorrow for Gen Z as they formally enter the workforce to search out that the American dream died many years in the past, and by some means fully forgot in regards to the technology that preceded them.

Don’t get me mistaken, Gen Z completely deserves Greene’s — and everybody else’s — empathy. They’re coming into a workforce that gives abysmal pay for not possible expectations and brutal hours, alongside a spiraling housing market and the utter incompetence of our political leaders. Its a tricky place to be in, however they’re not the primary to expertise it.

Millennials have been, again once we have been graduating school to find the lies we’d been raised on. Lies that impressed hope we’d sometime personal houses, work jobs that didn’t cripple our capability to have lives exterior work, or truly make sufficient cash to dwell comfortably. We’ve been dwelling underneath that shattered notion for greater than a decade now, however Greene conveniently forgot all about that in her most up-to-date Twitter tangent.

Greene, apparently blind to the place she holds, which is tailored to deal with the precise issues she outlined, tweeted out her sympathies for Gen Z in a prolonged publish. Noting that Gen Z has been advised “they need to work onerous at school, taking AP highschool courses, getting a number of school levels from woke universities,” solely to “find yourself in a mountain of debt” whereas attempting to “enter a job market that hardly exists for them,” Greene truly hit the nail straight on the pinnacle. She was even appropriate when she added that “younger individuals want hope for his or her future and it’s our accountability to create a system that’s ripe for alternative for them,” however by some means uncared for to grasp how little she’s performed, from her place of energy, to really make things better.

Whereas Greene is busy ignoring the existence of Millennials, breaking Home guidelines, and complaining about billionaires truly being held accountable, younger individuals all over the place are struggling to outlive. Even individuals edging in on 40 are drowning, out right here, and other people have been fast to level out simply how little Marj has performed to assist us.

Commenters, a few of whom endure from the precise points Greene highlighted in her publish, identified simply what number of occasions the 47-year-old Congresswoman has didn’t put her cash the place her mouth is. Whereas she’s busy delivering empty platitudes, she’s additionally voting towards the scholar debt reduction program, which might have helped these of us in a “mountain of debt” to climb out from underneath it. Quite a few calls to motion are embedded within the remark part of Greene’s publish, however they received’t lead to any actual effort on her half.

All as a result of Greene isn’t occupied with making modifications. She’s occupied with inciting extra anger, extra mistrust, and extra polarization on this nation. If she truly took steps to repair the problems she highlights in her tweet she’d don’t have anything extra to complain about, so she’ll preserve flapping her mouth, pointing her fingers, and doing diddly-squat to really assist the individuals whom this nation — and politicians like Greene — have failed for generations.
