I'd LOVE to see AOC as president, but I think this post is sopt on perfect. I think she could do some amazing good as Senate Minority, and eventually Majority Leader, and become president a bit later in life.

Gerald Ford was once addressing a classroom, and one of the kids asked him if a woman would ever be President, and he said that a woman would definitely be president someday, but the first woman president wouldnt be directly elected. He thought the first woman president would be a vice president, who gets promoted when the president dies. After that, a woman wouldn't have a problem getting elected. I thought that was a pretty insightful read on the weird bigotry of Americans.

Good. I'll never forgive that simpering, cowardly, weak, spineless bitch for stabbing Al Franken in the back. He should quit while has a chance to do it without looking too bad, but if he won't, she should run him out in embarrassing and humiliating fashion.

AOC got into Congress by beating the #4 Democratic Congressional leader in the primary, now she's poised to beat the top Senate Democrat in the primary. She's an actual giant killer. All other Democrats should take note - it's not her politics that people are responding to, it's her strength. We need people who aren't afraid to stand up to the Nazis, and she is fearless.

No, she'd just stay in her Congressional seat.

Right now, Americans have too much to lose. But when they start losing it, they'll get ferocious. Protests are increasing in number, in cities all over America, and are steadily increasing in size. If you live near a city, and want to protest, I guarantee there is one going on somewhere near you this weekend. By next summer, every city will be seeing simultaneous multiple giant protests, for multiple issues.

Go ahead, start deporting our children to 3rd world torture prisons for exercising their 1st Amendment rights, start drafting them for an incompetently managed war of economic opportunity, cancel elections which were the only thing offering hope for a return to normality, etc. and behavior will change fast.

If I find myself in a tent city, you can absolutely bet that I will be working closely with whatever resistance force is forming in the camp, and if there isn't a resistance force, I'll start forming one. A Hooverville style camp is the perfect place to gather a motivated militia of people who want revenge/ change.

It takes time for the damage to "Trickle Down" to the people and affect them, and it will affect MAGAturds as much as anyone else. At first, they'll try to blame it on Democrats of Biden, but they won't really believe it, and it wont stick. They will know who is really responsible, so when their children are starving, or dying in a war against Canada, or have been disappeared, they're going to get angry at the right people.

Never forget, MANY leaders have been assassinated by people they thought were on their side. Nobody gets angrier than someone who thinks they've been betrayed.

Its easy being an ally during the good times. Being an ally only counts if they stick around when the going gets tough. An ally stands and fights, they don't cut and run at the first sign of trouble.

I hate suckers and losers, too, that's why I avoid interacting with MAGA Nazis.

He always seemed like a cult leader disguised as a comic, using it to attract followers.
