Dive into MAGA Territory in Marjorie Taylor Greene's County

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a controversial figure in American politics, represents a new wave of extreme politicians influenced by Donald J. Trump's foray into US politics. Le Devoir explored MAGA territory in the heart of Georgia's district represented by the US's most controversial elected official to gauge the electorate's views – revealing a strong affinity for her no-holds-barred style.

In the calm town of Rome, the county seat of Floyd County where Greene spends her time between Washington sessions, people leisurely stroll along the main street, warmly greeting each other. Some relax on sun-soaked terraces in the Southern city.

In front of the neo-classical columns of the city hall stands a statue depicting Romulus and Remus nursed by a wolf, a nod to its illustrious namesake in Italy. The Myrtle Hill Cemetery, a verdant oasis overlooking the city since 1857, offers a tranquil escape in the bustling brick downtown.

This tranquility seems a world away from the apocalyptic narrative perpetuated for four years by Marjorie Taylor Greene, the area's representative in the US Congress. Known for pushing extreme views and conspiracy theories, Greene easily sails towards a third term despite her abrasive style and tendency to take liberties with the truth.

In the streets of Rome, her supporters overlook controversies and outlandish statements, placing more weight on her voting record than her rhetoric.

Michael Pearson, a 46-year-old entrepreneur, plans to vote for Greene again in November. He emphasizes that his support is based on her alignment with his interests rather than her rhetoric. He notes concerns about rising costs and economic security under the current administration, driving his political decisions.

Mycah Childers, 27, also supports Greene, focusing on economic frustrations such as high housing prices that hinder his homeownership dreams.

April Wright, who runs a small embroidery shop, supports Greene due to her Republican affiliation and finds comfort in familiar political leanings despite recent discomforts in her community.

While most interviewed residents support Greene, a couple of Democrats express opposition to her extreme views and rhetoric. They will vote for Biden or an independent candidate in the upcoming election.

Despite opposition, Marjorie Taylor Greene appears poised for a third term and a potential future in higher political offices, continuing to shake up both her party and the nation's politics.
