The Roll Up: November 25, 2025TL;DR: Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene shocked much of the country Friday night when she announced she would resign her seat in Congress in January. Greene had already been the center of renewed interest on Capitol Hill due to her turn to become one of the most strident critics Donald Trump in the Republican Party. And as word of her resignation spread, social media took a new look at Greene's impact on Congress and beyond. Here's what we know: |

Despite representing a rural, out-of-the-way portion of Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene quickly made a name for herself when she entered Congress in 2021, deciding on her first day in office to wear a mask stating "Trump Won" in reference to the 2020 presidential election. Greene continued to show support for Trump, from suggesting Jan. 6 rioters were liberal "antifa" members in disguise, to supporting the impeachment of Joe Biden.
But in recent months, Greene has strayed from her solid backing of Trump, mostly due to Trump's unwillingness to seriously address criticism over this relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but also what appears to be a rejection of what Greene has called "toxic politics" led by Trump.
To get a sense of how social media posts are regarding Greene in her final days in Congress, Rolli IQ analysis first looked back two years to get a sense of what users were saying about Greene in the height of her pro-Trump, anti-Biden days. Looking at the overall volume of posts about Greene and the sentiment found in those posts, we can see she was not a significant focus on online attention, gathering a modest engagement level of fewer than 200 thousand engagements about her in a four day period. Those posts are overwhelmingly negative, with only two percent of posters sharing positive sentiments about Greene, while nearly 60 percent had negative feelings. |

Flashing forward to today and looking at the four days since her resignation announcement, Rolli IQ sees the expected rise in engagement as she thrust herself into the weekend news cycle. What's more interesting is the vast increase in the positive sentiments found in many of those posts, up to 23 percent, with negative posts dropping by one third of what they were two years ago. |

That swing toward a more positive view of the Georgia congressperson becomes even more clear in the Rolli IQ Sentiment Map. Looking first at those same dates in 2023, the rabid dislike for Greene is clear in this visualization. The positive sentiments, represented by green lines leading to the "thumbs up" icon, are almost impossible to find, while the negative sentiments, represented by red lines leading to the "thumbs down" icon, overpower much of the map. |

Once again, looking at the same dates over this past weekend shows a dramatic change in those giving Greene positive ratings. Red still dominates the map, but green lines now hold their own in the lower quadrant, indicating a fair share of users consider Greene to have qualities they admire. |

Drilling down to individual issues, Rolli IQ's Topic Tree demonstrates how much more broadly users are talking about Greene in 2025 as compared with 2023. The 2023 Topic Tree finds three main areas of conversation about Greene that November--her support of Jan. 6 rioters, her controversial statements in support of conspiracy theories (as seen in the figure below) and bad reviews of a book she published that year. |

But the 2025 Topic Tree analysis shows a far greater variety of topics involving Greene, including her break with Trump and MAGA, the impact of her departure on the Republican Party (as seen in the figure below) and support and praise of her relatively short career. There are also other new topics related specifically to the timing of her departure, such as pointing out she stayed just long enough to earn a pension for life. |
|
The bottom line is that the analysis using Rolli IQ to look at online posts about Marjorie Taylor Greene shows a trend from fairly one-dimensional criticism (and support) for the Georgia representative to a great deal of in-depth posts looking at the impact of her relatively short tenure in Congress. |
