Please stay safe, AOC

These absolute fucking ghouls. Homan needs to be put against the fucking wall.

'Do I Look Like I Care?': AOC Shreds Trump's Border Czar In Blunt Free Speech Reminder
(www.huffpost.com)
What's more, Pam Bondi is probably the one orchestrating and advising on political prosecutions that are almost certainly implied by "what's coming."
But I really hope my other intuition is correct and they have not yet fully staffed the DOJ with fascist sycophants. I am hoping there are enough decent people that they have been and will derail the worst of it, at least in the short term.
I feel like the recession and threat of joblessness will sway a lot of those decent people to "just doing my job" their way into being okay with it.

Arresting AOC would be the biggest mistake the MAGA Nazis could make. It would virtually guarantee that she will be the leader in post-MAGA America.
But it is absolutely the kind of mistake they would make.
Post-MAGA America is what they're trying to prevent through their fascist attacks on the rule of law and the judiciary.
Every day I'm more convinced that those of us on the left needs to stock up before they start adding registered Democrats to the NICS database to keep us from buying weapons.
She’s always been such an action hero. Even now as the conservatives are emboldened. Tell me who’s gonna lead the god damn revolution.
By the looks of it, her being imprisoned is what might America stand up, or not. Most of Republicans are racist pieces of shit with no moral compass or compassion to the extent that it is guaranteed they all go tell hell if they are Christians for eternity, all to suck an orange mans cock for a few years. Talk about people hurt by being closeted.
Bernie and AOC are the only two representatives that have ever gotten me so fired up that I'm signing up for phone banking & door knocking even though that's like the last fucking thing I wanna do in my free time.
I am even hate calling my state representatives and telling them to just do what AOC says because clearly she's got the biggest balls in the room and actually understands what her job is-- fighting for the people she represents, not corporate interests.
I called my representative a few years back and his office said you should call your representative because they weren't it. That was Florida. The day Rubio and Voldemort get to meet the working class, will be a day their family says, oh shit, that's what I thought

I love her gumption, but I really fear she's underestimating her opposition. They've already shown they care nothing about the rule of law, so counting on that to "protect" you is a losing bet in the long term.
Well, she can either cower in fear and comply in advance, or fight to the limits of what she can do. They are coming for her either way.
I think she is what the Democrats should be. She is doing her job. TBH electing her president would restore a lot of the public image Trump lost the US.
We need politicians to push back on the fascists. If they go after AOC too aggressively it will make her a martyr to the cause and give the rest of us someone to aspire to.
If the limp Democratic opposition continues to do nothing, and we will all feel abandoned to the Red-hats, it only gives trump more power.

They are coming for her either way.
This is the most important lesson for everyone. There is no safety in complacency. There is no peace after appeasement.
You fight today, or you die tomorrow. They might not come for you first, but they will come for you. By the time they do, who will be left to speak out?
This is absolutely the lesson we all need to learn. It is always true, in history, life, and art with such ghouls:
That doesn't mean we can't delay him. And his name is Voldemort, Filius. You might as well use it, he's going to try and kill you either way. -Prof McGonagall
electing her president would restore a lot of the public image Trump lost the US.
i think this is not true… a large portion of what the US has in reputation was stability: trump as proved that the systems in place on the US can be bent and abused in ways nobody thought possible… the only way to fix that is systemic change
4 years of AOC won’t change that the same thing can happen again at the end of her term
I'm not saying it would restore all of it, or even most of it, but being a country that can also elect an AOC would restore hope that the US is not beyond redemption.
No.
She understands the risks, and she's willing to die and be a martyr if that's what's necessary.

I think she’s doing what’s right and good, and there’s not a lot of that going around right now. I stand for and with her. Bring it if they want to mess with her.

Finally, a brave Amarican standing up
y'all gonna have to give me a 'blunt free speech reminder' after I go non-verbal when I finish smoking that shit.
Carry on AOC, just do not forget about the American people, even the asswipes supporting Krasnov.
She should pull her shirt up to cover her head, hold her arms out like a cactus, and say “Are you threatening me?”
Edit: Since there seem to be many of you who are missing the reference.
I think people think you're trivializing her opposition, but honestly, derisive comedy is one of the only ways to truly undermine fascism. Fearing them may be wise after they are established, but it does only make them stronger.
Also, anyone not watching the new Beavis & Butthead series is missing out, it's really good.
I am the great Cornholio!
(I got it, even if goobers thought you were insinuating she she flash her chest.)
When I saw all the downvotes, I suddenly realized that Beavis and Butthead are "for old people" now.

I with you OP. This is the right way and the right attitude.
