AOC has a message for the GOP: America wants an affirmative message, not fear porn

[IDIOCRACY]

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.”

I stopped reading at weapons of mass destruction.

Wow, AOC and Gator are so smart though.

Reality. Trump is an accused and adjudicated sex offender with accusations of assaulting a 13 year old girl existing.

Anyone can accuse anyone else of anything, you know that. I mean, heck, I could go on here and make all kinds of jokes about Quid Pro Joe assaulting his teenaged daughter if all I need is an accusation.

AOC doesnt eat cornflakes.

I know, she's too busy trying to put together the puzzle!

I remember Reagan being called the 'happy warrior.'

A shining city on the hill and all that...

There were many who opposed giving $3B to to Amazon to come in and open an anti-union company location without any transparency in the deal. Most states have pulled back on relocation tax breaks or eliminating these programs due to high budget costs, shifting economic priorities, and most importantly negative returns from the deals.

They are pulling them back because they don’t need them, that is why billionaires and corporations are leaving high tax states and moving to lower taxed states. That is why high tax states are losing businesses, they are chasing big companies out. Billions in tax revenue have moved from states like California, New York and Washington and moving to Florida and Texas.

Socialists can't figure out how wealth is developed.

Socialists can't figure out how wealth is developed.

They look at a wealthy country like the US and salivate over redistributing it all, not even dreaming that it would evaporate in two or three generations. It happens every time, Socialists always take over an already functioning society, but never start one and bring it to success, ever.

You have to be clinically insane to listen to anything AOC says

No. She didnt approve of $3B corporate welfare to bring in the jobs. That is 250,000 man years of taxes or 25,000 people working for 10 years to pay off. That was the issue as I recall.

If I remember correctly it was simply a lowering of the tax rate for a period of time. Which I would agree shouldn’t happen at all, for anyone. But it does. But she’s too dumb to realize that and pissed away a lot of jobs. And really they weren’t going to miss that tax revenue and would be collecting more by now.

Basically, she made the taxpayers pay for something the government was going to do, and the taxpayers didn't even get the jobs.
