Actually, there is a point there (just not the one that K wants to make). The response to these people shows that AOC and Crocket have cracked (or at least started to crack) the code on how to talk to people.
This is what the right wing gets correct - they communicate on a level that people can hear. They speak 'straightforwardly' and say the things that resonate well. The addition threat with AOC is that she has some policy ideas that will actually help people and she seems to genuinely care about the end result being positive and helpful. That's a mix that will sell and drag the middle / disaffected votes away from the cruel ineffective policies of the right. THey are trying to vilify her before she can get traction, because if she gets traction people will realize what a sham they have been following on the right.
You hit the nail on the head. And as the crowds get bigger and the right starts to hemorrhage supporters she would be wise to up her protection game. Big powerful people will see her as a major threat and act with unrestrained malice.

Agree. Tapper on CNN last night spent most of the interview of Booker talking and asking about breaking Thurmondâs record. Whoosh!

She is positioning herself to lead the Democratic party?
Do tell.

There is another one rapidly positioning herself to lead the party. Ms Jazzy Crockett who just made a name for herself calling your governor "Hot Wheels" in a rant immediately endearing herself to Abbot detractors. She's going to go far.

Another woman... and a woman of color! A double librul radical! AOC and this woman are targeted for right wing criticism, not Bernie Sanders, Tim Waltz or Chuck Schumer.
Predictable and pathetic MAGA misogyny.
"It's gotta be a gal and the more melanin the better! Woo hoo, yay! Lookit how badass we Maga boys are! We use EMOJI's while discussing attack plans!"

OMG! She gave someone a demeaning nickname? Cue the Danny Thomas spit-take!
Not that one, o respectable dignified one.

Not a big fan of her myself. I wish she'd never say the words "Trangender" again - because Musky Magas maintain that as the Democratic message. However, the fact that the Republican party is pouncing on this ONE democratic individual is another singling out of 'THIS PERSON REPRESENTS ALL DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS' meme. Histronics and fear of Women catapults this knee jerk adolescent boy response.

Most other countries get this. Most places have a sense of community and helping others so that there is some safety. I've told this story but it bears repeating: I asked a friend in Mexico why we don't see homeless people there. His response was "If you're hungry, a Mexican will give you a burrito. Do you really let people live on the streets?". The world envies our success, but they wouldn't make the trades we have made to get there. If we were honest, we wouldn't need to either. If we were moral, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
While in Japan I asked "Why don't I see any homeless?" and the answer was "We make sure everyone has a job."
Now that might be superficial and wrong, but we did see a lot of old men in uniforms walking around construction sites after hours, probably just ekeing out a living doing something not too demanding but still necessary.
I think a lack of empathy is part of the equation, but some of it is fear that someone else is taking their stuff and that's why they're struggling. Someone is taking their money, food, jobs, women, education, future... "And how come, if I just sit here and complain, none of it is coming to my doorstep?"
A fundamental tenant of the new republican identity (well recent, not really new), is that they have no empathy. They can't fathom something being a problem until it affects them directly. So I say let this happen. If enough of them suffer some negative consequence they may adjust their attitudes. Sure everyone else will suffer along side them, but I don't see another way to get things to change. Too many people have become to insulated from the ways of the real world. We'll never touch the billionaire class directly, but if enough of the proles feel some of the pain, they will demand different policies.
