The New York congresswoman, who is known for her liberal stance and activism, blasted previous accusations of a ‘two-tiered justice system’ from the GOP
I don’t know if you’re being purposefully dense or just ignorant but there’s definitely an uptick in politicians and public figures being referred to by their initials in the media for the last 20 years.
Of fucking course I realize it’s not the first time in history it’s been done.
The first one a handful of people tried to make happen and it didn’t. Never heard of the second or third and I don’t even know who you’re talking about. Absolutely no one called her the fourth, but I’ll give you the last one.
Tbf this is the first time I’ve seen Jackson’s name abbreviated like that. It took me a second to get hers. But I feel like ACB is fairly common. Then again, maybe her name just jumps out at me immediately because I have a special hatred in my heart for women who turn against women. Fuckin’ removed.
Either way, I wasn’t agreeing or disagreeing with the sentiment of politicians using initials for their names or not, just stating whose initials they were.
Because it’s a political tradition since 1932?
Sort of sounds to me like asking why saying “God bless America” is so prevalent now. Because it’s standard political stuff.
Ah yes, who could forget president GRFJ?

The only two people I can think of are AOC and MTG. Who else?
DJT, ACB, KBJ, HRC, RBG to name a few

Amy Conan Barrett is the 2nd, and Ketanji Brown Jackson is the 3rd.
I’d hardly call either of those common abbreviations for their names.

No one calls them that, though.
I’ve only heard those two referred to as Barrett and Jackson at the minimum. Why is it so prevalent to call politicians by their last name?
