Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the Trump is deliberately overwhelming the public with chaotic news to induce passivity.

Citing Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy and historian Michiko Kakutani’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, she argued that Trump uses the internet to spread disinformation, much like past dictators used film and radio.

Urging people to stay engaged, she emphasized that collective resistance can slow harmful policies and that small acts of opposition make a difference.

    All of my reps are MAGA except for one who had a stroke and visited Mar a Lago. I could call them every day for a year and they wouldn’t care, mainly because the other people calling them are diametrically opposed to me.

      Yeah, I had that for quite a while too. Still call them and tell them how shitty of a christian they and pointing out that the bible tells us to take care of the less fortunate. They love that.

        If they could feel shame they wouldn’t be Republicans. It’s spitting into the wind to try to reason with them. They don’t care what I think and have told me in no uncertain terms every time I’ve contacted them. So I stopped.

          Very true, it was just pushing on a rope. Nah, I get it, do what you got to do man.
