I may not agree with her politics, but from what I can tell, AOC is intelligent, articulate, more than willing to inform herself about an issue before voting on or having a hearing about it, and most importantly, she appears to genuinely wish to represent her constituents to the best of her ability. I would happily clear and re-populate both parties with candidates sharing those traits. MTG, on the other hand, is and always has been an internet troll, and not even a high-quality troll - merely a ball of ignorance and bigotry that comes a dime a dozen in any competitive online game lobby or forum.

They’re both ignorant and represent similarly low information districts.

A few examples of AOC’s reasons for proper comparison to MGT. Personally, to these I would add acts of drama like the emotional breakdown at the border, modeling the expensive ‘Tax the rich’ dress, etc. Google can bring many more examples. AOC is not more intelligent than MGT. They are two sides of the same coin. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/1857375/three-gaffes-in-one-week-aoc-cant-stop-exposing-her-own-ignorance/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/1857375/three-gaf... https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/07/politics/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-facts https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/07/politics/alexandria-ocasio-co... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/10/30/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-mocked-over-poster-for-arab-voters/ https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/10/30/alexandri...

  What is the AOC equivalent of MGT believing that California wildfires were started by Jewish space lasers to clear land for high speed rail?

    Probably not so imaginative as that, but there’s a whole YouTube channel devoted to AOC’s stupidity. Favorites might include the one where she fails in trying to identify the three branches of government, or the one where she says congressional reps are inaugurated and sign bills. Those don’t have the amusing color of MGTs idiotic statement, but they are every bit as stupid and maybe even more shocking, given her job.
