    Default Why are Republicans so afraid of Alexandria?

    What the reaction to Ocasio-Cortez makes undeniable is that if and when women gain enough power to start behaving, in a political sphere, as men have for so long, they will be viewed with fright and discomfort.

    But there was something downright electrifying about seeing how uncomfortable it made so many people to even imagine a young politician testing out her power in this way — the giddy, exhilarating thrill of watching those sparks fly.

    Why is everyone afraid of a girl?

    Why conservatives love to hate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
    A democratic socialist most Republicans have never heard has become ubiquitous in conservative media.
    admit it you pussies you're scared of a girl
    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is young, new to politics, and far to the left. And to many on the right, she is something else — a target.

    Conservative media loves her
    Ocasio-Cortez has become ubiquitous in conservative media, a perfect character to represent a changing Democratic Party that is going hard on expanding the social safety net — in the conservative media’s view, too hard.

    Though most Republicans have never heard of her, National Review, Breitbart, the American Conservative, and other right-leaning outlets have all written extensively on Ocasio-Cortez. National Review’s Charles C.W. Cooke wrote that he was doing so “because she’s being hyped as the Next Big Thing. Because she’s now within the Vanguard of the Extra Serious Committee for Democratic Socialism in America. Because she’s making videos with Bernie, and being toasted on the Sunday shows.”

    Don't be silly, this has nothing to do with her gender, it's about her ideology, and her ignorance. And who's afraid? I say let her speak.

    Because she does not recognize the old unspoken rules and norms. She speaks the truth to power and they do not like it.

    See, this is where you guys always screw up. You assume we are "afraid" of these people because we write and talk about them. News flash: They are entertaining! They are also reassuring, because if this is the future of your party you guys are headed for the dumpster of history! If you could, please replace all your dinosaurs with people like AOC, we'll make sure we help to get their message out there!

    They aren't afraid of her. She is acting like a girl-child, however. She is the democratic version of Trump without the power. She is a joke. It is amusing to watch her....everybody seeing the fall coming but her is kind of tragic, but spellbinding at the same time.

    She has been in office for 10 days. I think even PP can figure out that there is no way she could be presidential material. if he were being honest. But he cannot be honest. He is merely outrageous and crazy.

    I don't think it has much to do with gender. There are a lot of incels in the Right, but for the rest of the Conservatives, they just fear her because they know she can win elections.
