Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the Trump is deliberately overwhelming the public with chaotic news to induce passivity.

Citing Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy and historian Michiko Kakutani’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, she argued that Trump uses the internet to spread disinformation, much like past dictators used film and radio.

Urging people to stay engaged, she emphasized that collective resistance can slow harmful policies and that small acts of opposition make a difference.

        Biden shat the bed so hard people were willing to endure fascism to punish him and his allies.

        But that’s exactly what the Republicans wanted. Any voter who got to that point has effectively fallen for their propaganda and still believes it was their own well thought out decision.
