One reason only. She has the ear of 75 million millennials. That is power. That's why older Democrats are afraid of her. We all should be afraid of her, especially because she has very stupid ideas about what this country needs, including Socialism and this Totalitarian vision of a Green New Deal. AOC is 29 years old. Remember that Castro was only 27 when he began his revolutionary attacks against Batista in Cuba. He was only 33 when he overthrew Batista and took power. Young people are FAR more dangerous than older people simply because young people have revolutionary tendencies and the energy to ensure their thoughts turn to action. I've said this before: the revolutionary energy of youth must be tempered by the wisdom of age, if we are to avoid catastrophe. In this country, youth is rampaging across the land with their inability to accept diverging opinions, their need for safe spaces, their political correctness, and their seething rage at everything. The older people have gone quiet and decided they don't need to intervene. This is a mistake. Socialism and revolution is a mistake. We think revolution is great in this country, because we have a long tradition of extolling its virtues due to our historical overthrow of the British rule in the US. However, back then we were fighting for freedom FROM tyranny and freedom from taxation without representation. Today's Millenials and Democrats are fighting FOR tyranny, FOR Socialism, FOR Totalitarianism, FOR a destruction of freedom of the people. They want MORE government, MORE taxes, MORE free shit for themselves, MORE censorship of diverging opinions, MORE legalized drugs, MORE oversight and intervention into people's lives, LESS choice for the people. Therefore, we must make sure no revolution occurs. Because if it does, then the end result will look a lot like Cuba and Venezuela does today. The only difference is that you will have a grinning AOC as the tyrant du jour to leave you in the cold sweats of your waking nightmare as everything you built in a lifetime is taken away from you to give to her friends.
