Republicans are obsessed. Almost stalkerish in the manner in which they foam at the mouth over AOC. It’s extremely creepy how Republican men almost have fetishistic hatred for her. It’s almost borders on the line of sexual obsession.

Republican women seem attack her less because they understand the unstated threat of violence that lurks hand-in-hand with obsessive attention by a man on a woman. Still, GOP women fall in line behind the men.

Republicans’ behavior reminds me frat boys who are shot down by a woman and then say derogatory things about her to salve their bruised egos.

Let’s look at the facts:
-She a freshman Congressman
-She hold power of no committees in the House
-The Democrats have nominated a centrist as their POTUS candidate

When will the GOP learn to control themselves? When will they stop stoking the death threats against AOC? Truly disturbing.

Thus proving the point. AOC is a freshman Rep from NYC. That is the power she holds. Period.

She doesn't speak for the House or the Democrat Party. Period.

1. A woman
2. Of Latin heritage
3. Who speaks her mind

They are absolutelyup in arms because in their world, they are supposed to be able to shut her up with a single look. It's driving them crazy that she's sitting in the House of Representatives rather than waiting tables at Chili's.

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.

She strikes me as immature and needlessly dramatic, with some nutty ideas. I’m a democrat. She was elected by her district, not mine.

+1

+2
It's hard to believe she has a degree in economics given her statements and policy stances.
She's an idiot. Truly. She thinks she has more power than she probably has given the media's obsession with her following her election.
Having said that, given how so many Dems signed on to the GND after she promoted it - perhaps she does have some power.

And, Joe is no centrist, folks. He was at one time, but he has veered far left. Even the WaPo recognizes this.

And, one more thing - if you want to see an AOC obsession, check out The Hill's twitter feed. Now, THAT is obsession.
