It might be great to hear/see some running commentary from Flannery O’ Connor on Marjorie Taylor Greene. Nobody but Flannery O’Connor can make up this character.
MTG was born in Milledgeville, Georgia ten years after O'Connor's departure for heaven from that town. Flannery is alive and well and looking down from heaven, her lupus gone. She is still writing and one of her short-story current characters is Marjorie Taylor Greene, MTG—written at God’s request. This congresswoman is O'Connor’s genius at capturing and expressing concentrated hard-core ridiculous self-righteousness.
Team Greene —first day in congressional office, January 2021.
Here is O'Connor writing her congressional character MTG saying presidential candidate Clinton's body-killing spree is mounting; then O'Connor has her declaring president Trump is desperately engaged in the battle against Satan worshipers, child abuser celebrities and Democrats. Pizzagate! Pedophiles dishing up pizza!! The killing at the Charlottesville white supremacist rally was an inside job to magnify elite agendas!! O'Connor shows Greene endorsing truther conspiracies, saying there is no evidence for a plane crashing into the Pentagon during 9/11! And guns must be protected, mass shootings are always staged against unprotected guns! According to MTG, Sandy Hook was staged.
We see here in the MTG story — in these examples of speech — that the Milledgeville writer is fully capable of drawing such a character for readers. From this we can see that Flannery O'Connor is in her prime up there in heaven helping God oversee MTG... until, perhaps, that one should —well I don't want to sound self-righteous but— until that one should repent? Then Flannery O'Connor would hand MTG off to Jesus Christ.
Yes, tell it slant ! According to MTG, the deadliest shooting occurrence in the United States, killing 58 people, was part of a great complex conspiracy to enact gun control! Live bombs going off at CNN and toward Democrat politicians earned twitter her "loved" comments saying the terrorist act should be called false flag because it was staged by Democrats themselves. And military weapons have been developed as Voice of God Tech, meaning the implant in a Kennesaw State University shooter's head. —Government controlled!
It must be noted that perhaps the Lord Jesus Christ does have some influence here as Ms. MTG did walk back many of her comments.
Evidently Flannery O'Connor understands well the inner call of Republicans newly converted from RHINOCEROSES to MAGA. They are beginning to incorporate understanding that dog whistles and superior bugle calls from Trump's troops — coming from MTG's horn — are absolutely spot on. Important MTG findings like blue laser beams from outer space, generated by the governor of California, and Americans being forced to eat fake meat grown in “peach tree” dishes.
Giving it an alternative universe feel, spot on is o'Connor’s fictionalizing of an arms raised, with marching orders, self-righteous Republican Party. Flannery O'Connor has showed herself to be a master of alternate universe characterizations even as she looks out from heaven.
The preceding is an attempt to fictionalize the since-passed Flannery O'Connor watching from among the Clouds as she continues her profound craftsmanship.
A Good Congresswoman Is Hard To Find.
…Maybe AOC?
A House divided against itself can surely stand firm. An American eagle can fly on just one wing, does not need two wings—left and right—to soar.
Possibly, Ms. O’Connor might be tempted into having a conversation with Miguel Cervantes? Can he do his part in a rendering of AOC and her chaotic Democratic Party with its enforced woke conversion and diminished presidential hopeful? In perfect contrast to the lockstep Republicans. …Maybe next time on Satire Saturday!
