The Conversion Of Marjorie Taylor Greene

      Wow. Okay. I am seldom at  a loss for (written) words. But, like much of the rest of the country on both sides of the political aisle, I've needed some time to puzzle out what to think, let alone what to say, about the apparent epiphany of Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. 
     How and why did Greene change from a rude, crude, loud, cruel-tongued, violence-promoting, White Nationalist-supporting, nonsense-spouting hardcore Defensor Trumpi,​

...to a champion of the Epstein victims, affordability, healthcare, civil discourse. and people being kind to one another?
      From whence came her apology for her past toxic rhetoric, her admission of working on changing herself, her desire to lay down knives and adopt humility? Her transformation to critic of Donald Trump, whom she once adulated and emulated back in the not too distance past when the promotion of Trump's agenda was her primary purpose as a U.S. Representative? 
      And what led her to drop the most shocking bombshell of them all, her announcement several days ago that she is resigning from Congress rather than having to stay and, as a Republican, having to both defy and support Donald Trump, who has subsequently added her to his revenge list?​

       Was the conversion of Marjorie Taylor Greene a gradual process? Were the seeds sown when she followed her political party's line in demanding the release of the Epstein files?  But then, did standing up for those victims of sex crimes open her eyes and heart to their plight? And, her eyes and heart being open to their plight,  did she now begin to see and feel for others, those in need of affordable health care, those who depend on immigrants to work in their fields and factories, those hard-working immigrants who've been the victims of ICE raids, the Gazans whom she's proclaimed to be the victims of genocide ? 
          Or was Marjorie Taylor Greene's conversion a sudden  flash of conscience  more akin to the flash that knocked St. Paul off his horse and gave him a new moral clarity?

       Some are denying that Marjorie Taylor Greene has had any kind of moral conversion. Some are saying that her change of heart is merely a change of strategy for winning power down the road. 
          As for me, I believe that people sometimes really do change. And if Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to reject and show contrition for her old ways, continues to stand up for kindness, civility, and the victimized, continues to stand against Donald Trump's wrongdoing and corruption, then I, for one, will give her grace.
