She scares the hell out of them!

It’s truly amusing how you tards keep thinking people are afraid of her. Get a clue, dumbass. The Republicans talk about her all the time because she’s a fucking idiot who provides them with endless fodder. The fact that someone like her is even able to get elected really shows how far our society has fallen. It also says very little about the intelligence of people like you who keep defending her

Very funny.

So, the party of Sarah Palin, Louie Gomert, Marsha Blackburn, Roy Moore, Christine O'Donnell, Steve King, and Donald Trump grouses about a young Latina, and how her election demonstrates "our society has fallen". That's so rich in irony, it should be unmistakable to anyone. But no, no, no, Trumpletons still can't wrap their minds around it.

Conservative men are concerned with the fact that they can not please their women; period.

I lived in Dallas for years & I know some wheel heeled folk there; even old blue blood money families which are very conservative.

Most of these guys can not keep their women 'happy'

That is what they are concerned about.

That is what happens when you allow money to be your master; everything else becomes blah & then you lose your pickle.

As opposed to one of many Progressive areas like Hollywood which flaunts its "values".

She scares the hell out of them!

You are using the wrong comparisons for Cortez. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro and Che are closer to the truth.

That’s why they post fake nudes of her on Daily Caller? Because they’re mocking her intelligence?

Tell me more, bro.

They post fake nudes because they find the laughter such pictures invoke entertaining.

Who says "conservatives" posted the fake nudes?

Why, Democrats of course.

Why?

Because males are like that, and always have been.

This is a news site (supposedly), not a bunch of horny 15 year olds.

You are incapable of making an argument. You’re kind of a dumbass.

All normal males are horny 15 year olds. I already won.

Conservative Men Are Obsessed With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Science Tells Us Why.


Conservatives respond to fear more strongly than liberals do, says one neuroscientist who studies political anxiety.

Conservatives’ bizarre, escalating obsession with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) reached a new level this week when The Daily Caller published fake revenge porn of the new congresswoman.

“Here’s The Photo Some People Described As A Nude Selfie Of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,” the Caller’s original headline read, before it was changed and the site posted a “we regret the error” message on Twitter. For the record, the photo is not of Ocasio-Cortez, despite what “some people” have said.

Since Ocasio-Cortez, a 29-year-old working-class democratic socialist, unexpectedly toppled powerful white male incumbent Joe Crowley in a June primary, she’s become an object of fixation among Republicans, especially Republican men. Conservative writer Ed Scarry posted a photo of her backside on Twitter, questioning whether her black suit was befitting of a “girl who struggles.” Right-wing media discovered that she ― like a lot of people named “Alexander,” “Alexandra” or some variant thereof ― went by the nickname “Sandy” in high school. A self-proclaimed “proud Christian Dad” on Twitter circulated a video of her dancing in a T-shirt in college as if it would be a career-damaging revelation. A Republican strategist referred to her as “the little girl” on Fox News, which runs segments about her constantly.

The obvious explanation is that men have literally never seen a woman in her 20s in the halls of Congress before. She’s attractive, telegenic and good at social media. She dances outside her Cannon House office. Conservative men are confused at being drawn to this bright rising star in the Democratic Party while loathing everything she stands for.

But that doesn’t fully explain the fervor with which conservatives hang on her every word, waiting for her to slip, and dig through her past for any feeble sign that she isn’t who she says she is. There’s an existential, panicked tinge to the behavior here ― what you might call “AOC Derangement Syndrome.” Indeed, some experts say conservative men are obsessed with Ocasio-Cortez because they’re threatened by her.

Conservatives tend to respond to fear more strongly than liberals do, according to Bobby Azarian, a neuroscientist whose expertise in anxiety has led him to examine political behaviors. His research has found that the brains of conservative people are likely to display the same attention biases as the brains of people with anxiety.
“The one main cognitive difference is that conservatives are more sensitive to threat,” he said. “Their fears are sometimes exaggerated. I think they fear her.”

Ocasio-Cortez’s power is a direct threat to conservatives because her very existence in Congress as a young, Latina, working-class woman threatens to upend the social order that has kept white men in the ruling class for centuries. (Eighty-eight percent of House Republicans are white men, most are over the age of 50, and the party’s voters are majority white and male.) On top of that, she is using her position and platform to directly challenge that order ― to attempt to get money out of politics, raise taxes on the super-rich and level the playing field.

Her heart is in the right place, but she definitely talks too much which means sometimes she says something dumb. Of course, Trump says moronic things on a daily basis and republicans either pretend otherwise or they are too stupid to know what a moron sounds like.

Her heart isn't in the right place. She's a proponent of organized plunder and of forcing people to conform to her arbitrary whims. She's a thug.

A thug? That is so stupid lol. Whenever republicans decide to target a democrat, they go all in with how terrible of people they are regardless of whether or not it makes any sense. You people are so goddamn emotional. Yes, Patti, you are allowed to hate her, but if you’re just going to frame her as some criminal sociopath just because she is a far left democrat, you come across like a child and no one will take you seriously.

That is the funnest OP I have read. Speaking as a conservative male, yes, I am a bit obsessed with her. I also hope she becomes a powerful member of the Democratic Party. Why, you may ask. Because she speaks her mind and her mind is ...well....it is not much of a mind. She’s not an intellect, more of a derelict. I hope she is a fair representation of the next generation of liberals.

Well, too bad for her and you for not realizing that socialism has always been apart of the framework of the country. What varies from nation to nation is the extent of socialist policy affecting the population.

Marxism is never hot.

What specific policy idea of hers is Marxist? If you think it is the 70% tax rate, then not only is that not Marxist but I would have to break it to you that in the 50’s the tax rate was at 90% and that was a time big economic growth. Why is that? Because if the wealthy have a high tax rate, it incentives them to invest in labor and expansion in order to make money. Nowadays, their EFFECTIVE tax rate is so low that investing in labor is a low priority. Their wealth has been steadily rising for decades. They make money by simply saving money at this point. For the sake of profit, they keep their wages down to the legal minimium. That’s capitalism.

Not sure. But if she was not marxist, you lefties would not love her so much.

 

[WillPower]

And of course, she's a liar. She voted for Pelosi for Speaker after saying she wouldn't. She proposed Congress not be paid while the shutdown is going on. And then she got her check and deposited it. Not a single conservative said anything about her cantina whore dancing on that dork video despite her claims they did. She didn't get on any of the committees she wanted because the party elders have already seen and heard enough out of her.....flash in the pan....in 3 or 4 years she'll be dropping trou in Playboy.

[Clementine]

i had to laugh when he says conservatives respond to fear more strongly than liberals do....apparently the guy has never did a study in California...

That's why conservatives run to the safe spaces.. Oh, wait........

It should scare anyone when our country is being sold out to radical Marxists/socialists/communists. The only people okay with that are the tyrants or their blind followers.

Cortez is a fully-indoctrinated useful idiot. And more idiots helped get her into office. She hates it when the right concerns themselves with facts since she wants to go by feelings. Socialism makes her and her ilk feel good and they get upset when someone points out the fact that socialism never has and never will work. How mean to inject the truth and send the snowflakes scurrying to their safe spaces.

The leftists are the ones having a complete meltdown and bawling like babies because they didn't get their way. I don't think they are handling anything very well. The leaders, like Hillary, just get meaner by the day and they are incapable of any civility at this point.

When such mean-spirited and ignorant people actually have supporters and are importing more uneducated people through our porous borders, there is only something wrong with people who aren't scared for the future of this country.

Merkel wants one world government and open borders. Hillary said the same thing before the election. I guess all the libs who used to believe in freedom and less government control over our lives have now given up on that and joined the radicals.

The only thing science tells us is that some love their lives and will automatically defend it. What someone needs to study is why some are so willing to push their will on others. Some have this complex that leads them to believe they are better than others and qualified to run their lives.

Some claim liberals are more educated, but that does not equal intelligence. Common sense can't be taught and, sadly, history is not taught. An education is merely someone teaching you something but it doesn't mean that what you are taught is real. Professors are teaching the virtues of socialism without teaching the truth about it. So, yes, people like Cortez have been "educated" but have zero common sense and very little intelligence. She, like many others, can spout talking points all day but can't explain how things actually work. It's all about feelings.
