    I still have to lol about how the stupid qons tried to use her dancing in university as some kind of BAD thing.

    Back when Denver Post still had a comment section and they’d allow gifs, and if the topic was AOC, I’d post her dancing. A few of the local wingnuts would try to get me banned/my posts removed over it, esp. if one of the qanon mods was on-duty…

    She’s the best. Why the buzzkills in the unhinged right tried to paint a beautiful intelligent rep like AOC dancing during college as a bad thing is anyone’s guess, but that sure as fuck blew up in their faces…

      So let me get this straight: somehow just dancing is somehow worse than drinking beers in fraternities and raping?

        She’s a woman with a will of her own, that’s enough for anyone on the Right to hate her.

        What I really can’t stand though is when they try to pretend she’s dumb. I mean when we on the Left call Trump a moron, we can actually point to things he did and said. When they try to paint AOC as an airhead, they mostly just repurpose old blonde jokes to be about AOC, there’s never anything she actually did or said that they bring up.

        Ever notice that?

        God I’m glad I don’t use facebook anymore

        She’s a woman and a POC to boot, so…it’s rather self-evident that anything she does is going to be worse.

        I think even for the most idiotic of maga, they realized that trying to trash her for dancing was not really getting much traction. Especially among cishet men with eyes? Just sayin’. XD

        I think the same thing for trashing her for things like being working class - they were trying that on for a while and that seems to backfire, too. Same goes for some big mic drop attempt they try when they call her “Sandy” in some kind of qnut point about how she had a nickname during high school and/or university? ZOMG! /clutches pearls You are saying she went by the name of Sandy, danced, and worked as a bartender? QED, then, I guess. 🤣

      Because she’s leading moral and dignified Christian men into sin!
