Marjorie Taylor Greene, the outgoing Representative from Georgia, just threw down a massive political gauntlet, openly backing a “tax revolt” planned by supporters of President Trump for 2026, as reported by The Hill. This is a serious escalation in political rhetoric, and it shows just how frustrated many voters are feeling right now.
Greene, who is set to depart Congress on January 5, didn’t mince words when she took to social media to support the idea. She claims that the level of frustration among the president’s base is reaching a boiling point, making this kind of action inevitable. She wrote that she sees “Almost every Trump voter I see on X is so fed up they are planning a 2026 tax revolt,” adding, “And rightfully so!”
If you’re wondering what’s driving this extreme call to action, Greene made the rationale crystal clear. She believes the current government is consistently misallocating funds, taking money from working Americans and giving it away overseas. She pointed out that people are working incredibly hard just to stay afloat, yet their dollars are being used for everything but helping them.
That’s a powerful indictment of the current political spending priorities
Greene continued her post with a fiery statement, arguing, “It’s because Americans work their a—es off, barely make ends meet, and the government consistently gives their hard-earned tax dollars to foreign countries, foreign wars, and foreigners the U.S. government has brought/allowed into America! And NOTHING is given to Americans!!!” It certainly resonates with the “America First” principles that were central to President Trump’s campaign promises.
This dramatic call for a revolt comes after a long period of intense public disagreement between Greene and the president she once fervently supported. Throughout this year, Greene has repeatedly criticized President Trump, arguing that he has strayed from the core “America First” platform that initially won him the presidency.
This prolonged series of highly public disagreements ultimately led to a political breakup. President Trump pulled his support for Greene last month, despite her having been one of his most loyal and vocal allies. Not only did he withdraw his endorsement, but he also announced that he would actively back a primary challenger in Georgia’s 14th congressional district. That’s a tough break, especially when you’re dealing with a sitting president.
Just a week after President Trump threatened to back a rival, the 51-year-old Representative announced her impending resignation. She explained that she didn’t want her “sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for,” adding that she would likely still win the election only for Republicans to potentially lose ground in the midterms anyway. It seems she decided to exit the stage rather than fight a bitter battle against the president’s chosen candidate.
Now, as she prepares to leave Congress on January 5, she is using her remaining platform to encourage constituents to take the extreme step of withholding taxes in 2026. It’s a significant move that highlights the deep divide within the Republican base regarding the direction of the country and its spending priorities.
