Please stay safe, AOC
Homan, when asked about Evers’ guidance outside the White House on Thursday, answered, “Wait ’til you see what’s coming.”
These absolute fucking ghouls. Homan needs to be put against the fucking wall.
What's more, Pam Bondi is probably the one orchestrating and advising on political prosecutions that are almost certainly implied by "what's coming."
But I really hope my other intuition is correct and they have not yet fully staffed the DOJ with fascist sycophants. I am hoping there are enough decent people that they have been and will derail the worst of it, at least in the short term.
I feel like the recession and threat of joblessness will sway a lot of those decent people to "just doing my job" their way into being okay with it.
Finally, a brave Amarican standing up
Homan is a Pakled.
I love her gumption, but I really fear she's underestimating her opposition. They've already shown they care nothing about the rule of law, so counting on that to "protect" you is a losing bet in the long term.
Well, she can either cower in fear and comply in advance, or fight to the limits of what she can do. They are coming for her either way.
I think she is what the Democrats should be. She is doing her job. TBH electing her president would restore a lot of the public image Trump lost the US.

i think this is not true… a large portion of what the US has in reputation was stability: trump as proved that the systems in place on the US can be bent and abused in ways nobody thought possible… the only way to fix that is systemic change
4 years of AOC won’t change that the same thing can happen again at the end of her term
I'm not saying it would restore all of it, or even most of it, but being a country that can also elect an AOC would restore hope that the US is not beyond redemption.
We need politicians to push back on the fascists. If they go after AOC too aggressively it will make her a martyr to the cause and give the rest of us someone to aspire to.
If the limp Democratic opposition continues to do nothing, and we will all feel abandoned to the Red-hats, it only gives trump more power.

Don't threaten them with a good time.
No.
She understands the risks, and she's willing to die and be a martyr if that's what's necessary.
y'all gonna have to give me a 'blunt free speech reminder' after I go non-verbal when I finish smoking that shit.
She should pull her shirt up to cover her head, hold her arms out like a cactus, and say “Are you threatening me?”
Edit: Since there seem to be many of you who are missing the reference.
I think people think you're trivializing her opposition, but honestly, derisive comedy is one of the only ways to truly undermine fascism. Fearing them may be wise after they are established, but it does only make them stronger.
Also, anyone not watching the new Beavis & Butthead series is missing out, it's really good.
I am the great Cornholio!
(I got it, even if goobers thought you were insinuating she she flash her chest.)
When I saw all the downvotes, I suddenly realized that Beavis and Butthead are "for old people" now.
I mean, inappropriate comments are ever-present when this politician has the spotlight, from the very beginning of her career. On first read I thought this was just another, and someone’s opinion re: AOC tells you a lot about them as a person. The mass downvotes on comments in this thread are a clue, for example. Some people have a curiously strong urge to put her in “her place.”

I with you OP. This is the right way and the right attitude.
