The level of discomfort i have isn’t because she’s a young Latin girl from the Bronx, and not just because of her batshit crazy political stances, but how widespread the positive feedback she’s received from the left and the TV appearances she made even before being an elected freshman congresswoman. Trevor Noah, Colbert, hell she made a speech for everyone to slobber over for sundance . She’s a complete joke and would be a disaster if more people start to fall in line with her ideals and she continues to rise through the ranks in D.C. The celebration for AOC and Omar are troubling to me because they have zero substance whatsoever. Yet they are celebrated because they are minority women and dammit it’s time for women to be heard. Fine Be heard, IDGAF, but have something worth hearing. Have substance. My disdain has nothing to do with gender, race or religion, although some of Omar’s past and recent comments should raise a few eyebrow and the fact that Omar’s district is one of the most highly recruited areas, if not the most, highly recruited area fo Islamic extremist in this country is alarming. People are so overwhelmingly blinded by their hate for Trump that they aren’t thinking about the consequences of what they have brought to Washington.
BTW, I’m a 36 yo white guy who is pretty socially liberal when it comes to a lot of things, so i don’t think i fit the narrative of sexist, homophobe who doesn’t think opportunity shouldn’t exist for everyone. I do, but for the right reasons. And this ain’t it.
