All your meme are belong to AOC
Memes are the new vernacular of political culture and we dismiss them at our own peril. Liberals learned this the hard way late in the presidential campaign, when they began realizing how deftly the alt-right was able to use viral jokes, hashtags, and images as a propaganda tool, often to bolster white supremacist ideology. The phenomenon […]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wants the super-rich to pay a heavier share of taxes.
The newly elected Congresswoman’s proposal that any earnings higher than $10 million carry a 70 percent tax rate has been widely popular. That’s true even among voters who might be more inclined to put on a MAGA hat; a recent Hill-HarrisX poll showed that some 45 percent of GOP voters agree.
On Friday night, Ocasio-Cortez greeted the news of her plan’s popularity with a play on the deepest of deep cut memes.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just shared her expert Twitter skills with fellow Democrats, which means every Republican in Washington who has a Twitter account should be shaking.
The freshman member of Congress has mastered the art of social media by consistently delivering swift takedowns to GOP members in less than 280 characters. And on Thursday morning she gave Senate Democrats a Twitter briefing alongside Connecticut Rep. Jim Himes.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn’t afraid to speak her mind, even when it comes to sharing her thoughts on the president.
In an interview with Anderson Cooper on CBS’s 60 Minutes, which aired Sunday, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez confidently answered that she believes Donald Trump is a racist.
“I think he’s a symptom of a problem,” Ocasio-Cortez told Cooper. “The president certainly didn’t invent racism but he’s certainly given a voice to it, and expanded it, and created a platform for those things.”

Have you heard the news? Congress is FUN now!
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman to ever be sworn in, is dancing, smiling, making videos, and throwing shade at the GOP. It’s a freakin’ party.
On Thursday, a video of her college self recreating the Breakfast Club dance was surfaced by right-wing critics but their attempt to disgrace her backfired bigtime. She’s received heaps of praise, and on Friday Ocasio-Cortez decided to brush off her haters by recording a video of herself dancing into her new office.
I hear the GOP thinks women dancing are scandalous.
Wait till they find out Congresswomen dance too! 💃🏽
Have a great weekend everyone 🙂 pic.twitter.com/9y6ALOw4F6

As you’ve probably heard by now, a ~scandalous~ video of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recreating the iconic dance from The Breakfast Club on a rooftop surfaced on Thursday*gasp*
The video from 2010, in which she dances to Phoenix’s “Lisztomania,” began making the rounds on Thursday — the same day she was sworn into congress. Much to the dismay of right-wing critics who were appalled to see someone having fun, many people online were enamored by the footage. Instead of damaging her reputation, it only made Ocasio-Cortez seem cooler. Read more…
