The real derangement syndrome, AOCDS

[fskimospy]

In fact, that's exactly how some conservatives on this board frame it. Essentially blaming democrats and liberal media for legitimizing trump by focusing on him. Starbuck even lays the blame on Hilarys campaign for Trumps win.

The one absolute, surefire way to know that conservatives know they are doing something wrong is that they will blame liberals for making it happen.

It would be nice if the mainstream media did a whole focus series on every freshman Congress critter (Democrat and Republican) NOT bearing the initials ‘AOC’.

Example: Meet Anthony Gonzales, freshman Republican Congressman from Ohio 16!

Despite his appearance, he is technically a “person of color” as his dad is Cuban American. You may remember him from the same Ohio State wide receiver squad that featured Santonio Holmes, Teddy Ginn Jr and Roy Hall. After stints with the Colts and Patriots, he got his MBA from Stanford. He is currently co-sponsoring the redundant Born Alive anti post-birth abortion bill...and I say redundant because a) post-birth abortions don’t exist, and b) Congress already passed a law in 2002 that requires doctors to save lives of any viable baby that survives abortion.

The media and Clinton campaign did legitimize Trump. The media, both left and right leaning, because it drove clicks. Clinton, because she wanted to face the perceived weakest candidate. The media and Clinton campaign got the exact title fight they wanted. Woops.

That does not absolve the GOP for nominating Trump or voters for choosing him.

Or laugh and move on, if they make it this required reading in all schools then get concerned.

I'm not concerned at all. I just find it funny to say the least.

I'm glad the Democrats have found new leadership.

Yeah, it's on the Democrats for republicans voting for him. Those mean Democrats, practically pulled the lever for them. Lol, woops indeed. Republicans have certainly proven that they'll vote for a vile individual because winning.

Hitler would have won if he gave them judges and tax cuts

The IRS collected 3.3 Trillion from all sources in 2016. Tell us how AOC's 93 Trillion over 10 years will be paid for.

Just stop Amazon a bunch of more times and that $93T will magically appear just like the $3B did for New York. Maybe she could slice off some of her campaign funds like she did for her boyfriend.

You do realize the 93T is a bullshit number right? The boyfriend bit looks like its destined to become one of those bullshit items that will become truth to people such as yourself through constant repetition.

Wonder why "how do we pay for it" is never asked when giving tax cuts for the rich for failed trickle down?

His grandfather fled Cuba after the revolution, which is what you did if you had spent your life giving the now-empowered peasants really good reasons to want to kill you.

I'm finding her quite exciting and willing to take on big projects. We can quibble about the dollar amounts of the New Green Deal but lets avoid that since it is only and outline or set of goals.
She does need to gain more proficiency but I can't imagine that taking too long. Sadly it will be 11 years before she can be a Presidential Candidate.

Sure it is, liberal tears will pay for it.

Conservatives now stalking her in public. Lots of "creepy" behavior by them

I'd be happy to volunteer as a dedicated bodyguard.

It's based on the premise that people will vote GOP anyway because reasons. You know- their traditional fear based wedge issue branding.

Hey, I'm versatile.

I have never seen this in all of my years following politics.

Because those always pay for themselves thanks to the Laugher (intentional misspelling) curve.

Geraldo Rivera Goes Off Script: Defends Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“Maybe this generation is waking up the way mine did,” he said. “Maybe we fell asleep and now we’ve passed the baton in our dreams to this next feisty generation. Let them make their mistakes, but let them try to do something.” ​

Hey, this man still knows goodness even if he has been a fool for a conman. Good for him for standing up against the Fox News BS.

I’ll give Geraldo credit, he’s not a particularly good news person but he tries. He’s a friend of Trump but isn’t afraid to say Trump is wrong on a bunch of immigration stuff. Geraldo is an interesting guy.

 

[cytg111]

Yup

I can see why they are afraid of her... Fox in particular is running rabid over her.

 

[trenchfoot]

Ah yes, the 'ol "Hey, we finally found somebody to take the heat off of Trump and McConnell........again! Pass out the pitchforks and tiki torches! Take to the streets and tune into FOX and Limbaugh! Man the facebook and twitter pages! Spread the FUD! Spread the FUUUUUUUDDD!"

And it’s important to note that it’s not just her as a person that is driving the fascination and hysteria, it’s what she represents. The everything should be free progressive movement amongst millennials and the direction it would take this country.

Yes, your final sentence was hysteria.
