Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.
Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.
She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.
Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”
Rome is burning, even Nero is out there organizing the firefighters, and you want to righteously split grammatical hairs? I don’t even have a fiddle metaphor, this is just dumb on both our parts. For quite a few people, people who are even on your side already, it did not go without saying. For 40%+ of the country it doesn’t even go without saying that trump is a fascist. Your opinions are not objectionable, hell from a quick browse through your comment history we agree on pretty much every point, the only problem here is that your message is getting drowned by your very understandable fear and anger.
Lashing out at your allies when they think your message is getting lost in the rhetoric is going to accomplish nothing except see you have to fight alone, and neither you nor I will survive this by ourselves.
Democrats listened to the fear and anger of republicans. It’s why they ran anti-trans hate in their own ads and adopted republican border policy.
They’re fine with fear and anger when it gives them cover to do what they already wanted to do.
I’m really sorry, but I’m not sure what your point is. Aren’t the dems the ones culpable for the rise of fascism in this country, which was the whole point of this in the first place? Emulating them seems like a good way to become a fascist enabler.
At least in part. The fascists are naturally responsible for their own actions, but that doesn’t excuse negligence or complicity on democrats’ part.
You just don’t want anyone to your left to be upset at anything Democrats do. Republicans can be upset all they want. It gives Democrats their marching orders.
