Apparently it was too on-the-nose even for the Republican caucus.
She's got her headlines and the rather explicit whistle towards the racists, mission accomplished. I just hope it hurts the GOP more overall to balance it out, it is the party of lunatics nowadays.
"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
Like, AOC would fit in just fine with the Liberal Party here in Canada. Who are decidedly centrist. I think she'd be a better fit than with the NDP, though it's borderline. And the NDP are pretty mid-left soc-dems at the most extreme anyway.
That anyone in the USA thinks AOC's views are in any way "extreme" just goes to show, like you say, how absolutely bananas radicalized those people actually are.
The GOP can't distance themselves from this. They not only paved the way, they added a map and road signs pointing the way to this.
"Law and Order", lots of places have had that, Russia, North Korea, Saddam's Iraq.
Laws can be made to enforce order of cruelty and brutality.
Equality and Justice, that is how you have peace and a society that benefits all.
Sounds like she took inspiration from Family Guy:
Just don't reply to me. Please. If you can help it.
There was this line from the first season of the Handmaid's Tale, something Waterford tells June about his motivations for overthrowing the US.
"We only wanted to make the world better. Better never means better for everyone. It always means worse for some."
And the thing is, "better" is relative. I'm pretty sure that you and Marjorie Green would wildly disagree what a better world looks like.
A lot of these people have really fucked up world views.
Does Marjorie Taylor Greene know what an Anglo-Saxon is/was? Can she state who Hangust and Horsa were? Are we resurrecting the Heptarcky?
On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

Hard pass for me. While I may be socially conservative, I think a little Anglo-Saxon and Germanic culture goes a long way. We don't need even more.
