    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…

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

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

        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. 🤣

        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

      I don’t get it neither, let’s turn it the other way: why would anyone want to vote for someone/something that doesn’t show basic human emotions and doesn’t have fun?

        I still laugh to myself when I think of them legitimately hoping they had the bombshell of the century when the “mic drop” of her dancing from college days was released.

        I think most people just saw that and thought it was completely normal and it just highlighted how fucking weird and awful people like Tucker were. I think many normies saw it and thought that the qnuts were just sending this to everyone and effectively saying - “holy shit, do you see how HAWT this woman is?” - because whatever message they were attempting by sending this to everyone and trying to make it go viral for some other reason was probably lost on all but the most uptight puritans in the xtian Taliban.

        I think normal Americans probably thought something along the lines of - wow, she’s incredibly articulate, delivers a message really well, is obviously well-versed in issues that matter to her constituency, AND is also incredibly attractive, knows how to dance and obviously was having fun making this video? What’s the problem these weirdo qnuts have with that?

        BTW, we need to go back to a concerted campaign of calling conservatives and Republicans WEIRD. Because they fucking are.

          I was going to point out how most of them embrace donnie, who never seems to legitimately laugh at something normal. He does that weird grimace and thumbs-up for photo ops. He does that weird grimace after telling “jokes” that are all about punching down on someone or some group.

          Well, TBF, I guess he does do that weird double-dick jerkoff dance that he does to his favorite gay anthem. Maybe he’s really trying to tell the world something there? All that talk about being hawt for his own daughter was some kind of weird compensation?

          I disagree. He doesn’t love money. He covets the respect and power that he believes money brings with it and if forever angry that even with the presidency he can’t get the true respect he believes he is entitled to.

            Yea that too but I feel like if someone told him “you would be the most respected person in the world and very powerful if you agree to live an economically average life (think Merkel but more modest even)”, I don’t think he would agree. Maybe because he thinks if he has money he can anyway buy the others but still money is not just a tool for him he is hooked on the luxuries it brings too.
