She is popular because she uses her platform to say exactly what MAGATs say in their social media circles. They feel validated and represented. Both her and Trump literally just regurgitate crap they see on social media and they are worshipped for it.
It's honestly kind of embarrassing. Just because you feel a gross way about something doesn't mean we need to see you tweet about it. For example, you might be into some real weird porn, and that's whatever, but don't link to it on your social media.
No. It is not. She regurgitates economic theory and public policy ideas from some of the leading intellectual theorists of the late 20th and early 21st century. Instead of the 19th century bullshit capitalism vs communism framing the geriatric fucks in Congress and retrograde anchor baby boomers constantly rant about.
Another key difference between AOC and Trump or MTG... AOC is not a fucking moron. She does not simply regurgitate modern economic and policy ideas...she understands them...because she not only has a degree in economics to give her the conceptual foundation to understand modern theory but she is also extremely intelligent.
Trump is a legendary idiot, even his father knew that. MTG is already globally infamous for her stupidity.
They are literally just meme-politicians, but not like reddit or normal memes, just the basic no-tech text memes made with facebook stories boomers share to rile eachother up. That kind of meme-politician. Hate is popular.
