Why do Republicans fetishize AOC?

She is a very effective communicator. Say whatever else you will - she's extremely good at saying what she thinks, in a compelling and understandable way. Do I want to live in her America? I mean, better hers than Trump's - but no, I am a boring middle-aged moderate. I want to live in Biden's America. But I think she is good at what she does.

Anyway it's funny seeing Trump lovers obsess about her. I think they've got posters of her on their bedroom ceilings.

This. They are simultaneously obsessed, jealous, and rejected. This results in rage and vengefulness. When they insult her she makes fools out of them and roasts them, rinse, repeat.

Democrats are not obsessed with Trump. Democrats want to restore what is left of our country before Trump totally and irrevocably destroys it.

“Democrats are not obsessed with Trump”???? Oh my. Thanks for my giggle of the week.

It's virtually impossible to be indifferent to a sitting President.

We're not talking "indifferent." Democrats are certifiably obsessed with all things Trump. Every word, every gesture, every.single.thing. It's bizarre and somewhat disconcerting, to say the least. And impossible to deny.

Ewww and ewww. Once again, Democrats are illustrating just how much they sit around thinking about AOC and projecting their lust/obsession onto Republicans. It would be amusing if it wasn't so creepy.

Most of the fear these days is from the left.

This x 100. The left is the most fearful group of people I have ever encountered.

Dp- Sweetie, why don’t you head over to Fox News. She’s the first story five days a week. We don’t have to make it up, it is what it is. The crazier, and more incompetent Trump behaves, the more they run AOC stories.

Is this about Brian Kilmeade posting that fake tweet from her? Conservative media really does slobber all over her.

Well, AOC was flabbergasted at one of her meetings when a woman loudly advocated killing babies to improve the environment. I like AOC because she’s a nutter but it was fun watching her squirm through the woman’s diatribe.

Get used to it. Whether it is AOC or someone else, the Republicans will target the Left. If Trump is gone soon, there will no longer be the air cover for all the unpopular Lefty ideas and talking points - defund the police, white privilege etc..

Lefty ideas:
Defund the police - translation, reduce the burden on actual police by shifting certain calls to other professionals, and shift corresponding monies accordingly.
White Privilege - the idea that there is ingrained racism in our society that needs to be eliminated before our country can truly realize its potential for all of humankind

Ya, those are really out there.

Yes, actually. The fact that you don’t think so illustrates how out of touch you are.

Not really...

If Trump is booted from office, I'm sure most of the center/left won't care about Dear Leader other than to look back in horror and try to clean up the mess. After enough time has passed, he'll be mostly used as a punchline.

And you think AOC is somehow any different? For now, she’s a useful idiot. She makes us laugh with her moronic ideas and claims. If she were to disappear tomorrow, she’d be forgotten in a matter of days.

What’s beyond hilarious is the OP and others sitting here smugly claiming Republicans “fetishize” a silly, remarkably dumb person. You seem to just not get it. She’s *already* the punchline. Carry on, armchair psychologist warriors! I haven’t been this entertained in quite awhile!

You are equating a POTUS with a 1st term Rep in the House. That's pretty stupid.

Another example of the Republicans' obsession:

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/508259-ocaasio-cortez-accosted-by-gop-lawmaker-over-remarks-that-kind-of

In a brief but heated exchange, which was overheard by a reporter, Yoho told Ocasio-Cortez she was "disgusting" for recently suggesting that poverty and unemployment are driving a spike in crime in New York City during the coronavirus pandemic.

"You are out of your freaking mind," Yoho told her.

Ocasio-Cortez shot back, telling Yoho he was being "rude."

The two then parted ways. Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), began descending toward the House office buildings. A few steps down, Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular.

"F****** bitch," he said.

Well doesn't that put a nice cap on this discussion.

Could it be that AOC is crazy and incompetent? Just a thought.

He was *alleged* to have said that. This is the statement from his office:

Yoho's communications director told CNN in a statement that the congressman "had a brief member to member conversation on the steps of the Capitol. As you know, these conversations happen frequently when the House is in session."
"He did not call Rep. Ocasio-Cortez what has been reported in the Hill or any name for that matter. It sounds better for the Hill newspaper and gets more media attention to say he called her a name - which he did not do. It is unfortunate that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is using this exchange to gain personal attention," the spokesman said.

I watched the clip and she was not flabbergasted. I feel like she was more concerned as she thought the woman had some type of mental illness. That lady was a troll btw.

From that same article

“ Yoho's office denies that he made the comment, telling CNN in a statement that he "made a brief comment to himself as he walked away summarizing what he believes her policies to be: bullshit."

We are at the “He was misheard/what he meant to say” evolution of this story.
