    I love her gumption, but I really fear she’s underestimating her opposition. They’ve already shown they care nothing about the rule of law, so counting on that to “protect” you is a losing bet in the long term.

      No.

      She understands the risks, and she’s willing to die and be a martyr if that’s what’s necessary.

        We shouldn’t be talking like this regardless. Don’t normalize any ideas they might have. If you make what’s next expected, they’re more likely to do it and more likely to get away with it.

          You didn’t read the article. Paraphrasing but:

      I think she’s doing what’s right and good, and there’s not a lot of that going around right now. I stand for and with her. Bring it if they want to mess with her.

      I’m sure AOC knows what she is up against, and she still chooses to speak out because she is brave and these things need to be said.

      It’s terrible, but what we need is the final layer of the mask to come of ASAP. Right now the US population is a slowly-boiling frog, and to get regular people to act we may need the heat to get turned up to 11.

      I love how difficult it is to determine which party is her opposition.
