The always eloquent AOC is spot on and knows the enemy. Republicans discovered years ago that their only motivating message they have is fear porn. Whether it was fake Weapons Of Mass Destruction, or attacking all the wrong counties for 9/11, or immigrant demonization, or claiming the gays are coming for your childred, or branding every policy that doesn’t put more money in the hands of the wealthy as a slide to socialism, the GOP lives breathes and procreates fear. Nothing else.
“The Republican Party’s brand is fear. And they have to constantly churn out what they want people to be afraid of—to be afraid of socialists, to be afraid of immigrants, to be afraid of women. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.
And that is the large corporations that are engaged in profiteering and jacking up your prices for no good reason. It’s going to be this administration that is engaged in record levels of swindling, theft, tariffs, and attacks on your housing.
And so this is kind of their new thing of the day. But I think that people are feared out. I think everyone’s nerves are shot from constantly being taught and told what country, person, or community to be afraid of. And they just want a solution. They want their groceries to be more affordable. They want to figure out how we’re going to get health care. They want our housing to get under control.
And I think that we’re ready for an affirmative vision, and we’re ready for an affirmative agenda.”
