AOC is a pretty bright young lady. A daughter of a middle class architect from the Bronx NY, she came in second in the
microbiology category of the
Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2007 with a research project on the effect of
antioxidants on the lifespan of the
nematode. In show of appreciation for her efforts, the
MIT Lincoln Laboratory named a small
asteroid after her: Ocasio-Cortez graduated
cum laude from Boston University in 2011 with degrees in International Relations and Economics.”
So - Why do Republicans hate her so much? Is it because she's Puerto Rican? Because she's smart? Because of her political views? Because of a combination of these? I don't understand....
AOC isn't a corporate lap dog, so all Republicans hate her, as do all the trump Nazis.
Her strong advocacy for average Americans and her deep concern for the homeless and Americans living in poverty make every right-wing nut believe she is a communist, prepared to turn the U.S. into the USSR. That, of course, is the typical stupidity of the GOP's right-wing nut voting base, after five decades of brainwashing. The same brainwashing the a$$hole trump exploited to turn the GOP's simple-minded right-wing nuts into his mindless trump Nazis.
No one in Congress is fighting harder than AOC to protect the working class, but the trump Nazis are simply too stupid to understand this. Centrists are, as usual, clueless as to what is occurring in government, so their opinions of AOC are changing week to week.
But, the worst of all, the many establishment Democrats in Congress also hate AOC for her boat-rocking. AOC's "rabblerousing" exposes their collaboration with the congressional Republicans that, in turn shows their constituents back home how the Democrats they've sent to Congress, to protect their interests, are instead, screwing them over. Nancy Pelosi and Diane Feinstein are two shining examples.
The American people need more young go-getters like AOC in government, at all levels. The old SOBs we have now have fvcked things up thoroughly, and stolen control of the government from the people and given it to the greedy. The trump Nazis are worried the non-whites, the poor, the homeless, and all of their other well known scapegoats are stealing "their" country from them. In fact, it was their orange-tinted messiah and his wealthy cronies that have been "stealing" from them, and doing it in plain sight. But, the trump Nazis are too blinded by their hatred of the well known scapegoats the Republican Party has provided them to see reality. And, given the trump Nazis incurable stupidity, nothing is going to change.
