Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the Trump is deliberately overwhelming the public with chaotic news to induce passivity.
Citing Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy and historian Michiko Kakutani’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, she argued that Trump uses the internet to spread disinformation, much like past dictators used film and radio.
Urging people to stay engaged, she emphasized that collective resistance can slow harmful policies and that small acts of opposition make a difference.
Hey look who decided to pretend to give a shit about anything now that the head of her party isn’t in office anymore. Gonna dust off your shoes and go find a 20 year old concentration camp to cry outside of again? Mustn’t be passive!
Genuinely depressing watching this Pelosi 2.0 completely fail to induce any scrutiny at all from these feckless liberals (you reading this)
Homie, the news never reported even once that Trump openly started he wanted to reenact Operation Wetback. He explicitly referenced it multiple times. Not a peep from news media. Do you think they covered anything AOC did at that time? Also, your getting into the same kind of logic used to attack Trump opponents ‘‘Hillary has been in politics since the 80s why didn’t she destroy ISIS YET! Why didn’t she entirely fix the federal taxation system!!’’
She didn’t because the first lady of Arkansas has just about zero political abilities to effect anything on a federal level, same with the president’s wife, and a senator from NY also. No power to dictate national policy on every subject, there actually are a lot of limitations of power in the legislator and for the Secretary of State. These aren’t free for all positions where you wake up and go ‘‘hay let’s make it illegal to burn trash nation wide’’ and you just get that law passed with no issues.
AOC is a legislator. Not the president. Not a cabinet member, and not The Glorious Queen of America. She also isn’t in the leadership of the DNC, and she butts heads with them constantly, she’s easily the most vocal Democrat that comes out and pressures the party to actually put their money where their mouth is. She is literally the person that made Pelosi commit to relinquishing power to younger members of the party. You want to jump up her ass for not fixing everything? That’s not how any of this works.
I am engaging with her only at the level on which she acts. Her purely symbolic and performative objections to the concentration camps on the border evaporated when her team got into power.
Just like your objections to genocide magically appeared when your team lost it again.
Fuck off tankie
Fuck you nazi
people on the left and right can agree on one thing and it’s generally that democrats are full of shit. When they do the camps, the left should toss the Dems under the bus before they get tossed under the bus themselves.
It unfortunately can’t work that way. Fascists and liberals are united in their desire to maintain the institutions of power present in a liberal democracy. Leftists want to destroy them utterly. Even self described leftists (opportunists) will side against the left to preserve the privileges they gain with their entryism. You can’t change that dynamic; you can just see it coming before hand.
Nazis don’t know about tankies since ANYTHING left of the overton window is ✨Evil Communism ✨. At worst they’re a well informed liberal. In any case you should be well aware that propaganda is a thing. The naivety is thinking it’s one-sided or that it need be anything beyond omission.
No connection to rabid anti-communism and nazism at all. No siree. Certainly not the defining trait.
And I’m not against communists, I’m only against tankies! You know. Literally any communist movement that had any measure of success! Have you heard what Radio Free Asia says about them??
By the way I’m immune to the largest most expensive propaganda machine that’s ever been created by humankind. But you should check yourself because I think you’re being duped by overseas non english speaking sources because you don’t have an identical position on these things as Nanci Pelosi, Donald Trump and myself.
Shut up. You’re doing harm with this bullshit. Stop.
She ran on abolishing ICE when she first won her seat.
Her first act as a congresswoman was during the government shutdown. It was a standalone bill to restore funding to ICE without touching any social services. She voted in favor of it.
Putting aside the utter foolishness of your belief that posting comments on a message board can either do harm or help, if it were true, you’d be on the wrong side of this. You’re doing harm by carrying water for her. YOU shut up. You very literally don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
