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.

    in my opinion they’re terrible and their strategy is terrible, they are movement vampires that choke out the grassroots… they assimilate young people by speaking to issues they never seem to address. they have shown time and again they will say anything to remain in their do-nothing stop-gap positions…

      If you are talking about the two primary political parties in the US, I completely agree.
