Few politicians have received as much attention before they’re even sworn into office than Congrewoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). Democrats seem to love her and Republicans seem to… love her. It’s not that they love her for the same reasons Democrats do. They love her because she’s their current favored target for ridicule and insults.
But there are some on the right who are paying attention for another reason. She’s a real threat. Beyond the blunders and untenable ideas, there’s a charm to her that has some on the right concerned about what she can do to inspire the far-left base while shifting the whole party away from the center.
Here are the three reasons she’s getting so much attention from conservatives.
She’s a walking blunder outlet
It’s one thing to find leaked footage or undercover recordings of a politician saying the wrong things. It’s another thing altogether with Ocasio-Cortez. Nobody needs to dig up embarrassing moments for her. She’s the one who posts them regularly to her social media accounts.
From her already-infamous “you just pay for it” response on how to handle the $32 trillion price tag on her Medicare-for-All proposal to a video she posted where she “corrects” her statement about the three chambers of Congress actually being the three chambers of government (White House, Senate, and House of Representatives), Ocasio-Cortez isn’t like your average politician. She’s not standing in a studio or in the den of her summer home reading from a teleprompter. She grabs her smartphone and speaks into it whatever comes to mind.
Then, she posts it to social media, errors intact.
It isn’t just her videos. Even her written social media posts are riddled with blunders. When a Republican is having a bad day and wants a good laugh, all he or she has to do is check out her Twitter or Instagram to find something worthy of a chuckle.
Further to the left than Bernie
Many of us thought we’d seen the ultimate representative of pure leftist socialism when Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) ran for President. He, too, has a Medicare-for-All plan. He speaks about socialism like it’s an old, faithful friend that never let anyone down. His ideas on taxation are so far in left field that many wealthy people would do what celebrities lied about doing when President Trump was elected. If Bernie ever got his tax plan passed, anyone making more than $150,000 per year would have to strongly consider leaving the country.
Ocasio-Cortez makes Bernie look like a centrist.
She wants to end ALL fossil fuel usage in American within a decade. Before she’s 40-years-old, she wants an America that’s essential free of carbon emissions. Her aforementioned Medicare-for-All plan would require more than doubling taxes. Add in her free college for all proposal and everything else she wants the government to give away and we’d be stuck with zero income for anyone. We’d all be working for the government because private business would be unsustainable.
We’d be in Communist America.
As upset as Bernie, Hillary, Nancy, and Chuck make us with their policies, Ocasio-Cortez makes them seem Reaganesque.
Likability makes her a real threat
Here’s the problem and it’s the reason that many conservatives are attacking her without a smile on their faces. As hard as it may be for rational, thoughtful Americans to imagine, her message is actually resonating. She is charming to her rapidly expanding base, most of whom see absolutely nothing wrong with her proposals. They believe in her.
They believe in Democratic-Socialism, as she puts it.
The media likes to paint Beto O’Rourke as the reincarnation of Robert Kennedy, but their inability to see past gender (ironic, I know) has blinded them to the reality that Ocasio-Cortez is Kennedy’s true charismatic successor even if her ideology is radically different. The only thing keeping her from being pushed to a presidential run is her age. With a three Congressional terms or a Senator win mixed in, she’ll be of presidential age and at the top of many progressives’ lists soon enough.
That’s assuming she’s not exposed early on as a dreamer without a clue.
Her crazy ideas, endearing blunders, and limitless charisma make her a progressive powerhouse in the making. Lest we forget, far-leftists have abandoned reality with their ideologies. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is their perfect leader.
