Creating house for “lived expertise” is the kind of hokum heard on college campuses, however elected leaders are nonetheless gathering to indulge their very own egos on the taxpayer’s dime.

The story started on Monday when AOC claimed to have suffered a “close to demise” expertise whereas she was trapped within the Capitol throughout the pro-Trump riot. In a reside stream to her followers, she in contrast the trauma of the expertise to being sexually assaulted, and accused the police officer who got here to assist her of watching her with “anger and hostility,” to the purpose the place she feared demise.

AOC, it seems, was enjoying quick and free with the reality of her “lived expertise.” Her workplace was in a constructing two blocks from the Capitol itself. Rioters by no means entered the constructing, and an evacuation proceeded peacefully. However good luck to anyone who tried to inform her this, as skeptics quickly came upon. Referred to as out by conservative pundit Jack Posibiec, she shifted tack to take a position that “the tunnels” connecting her workplace with the Capitol weren’t secure, and that “Trump supporters” planted bombs close by (there may be little proof of this). 

This isn’t a truth verify in any respect. Your arrows aren’t correct. They lie about the place the mob stormed & place them additional away than it was.

You additionally fail to the convey *a number of* areas individuals had been attempting to storm. It wasn’t 1. You additionally failed to point out tunnels. Poor job throughout.

When Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina (who earlier wasn’t above milking the risk for her personal profit both) introduced that her workplace two doorways down from AOC’s was by no means “stormed,” the New York Congresswoman accused her of shaming “survivors” into silence. 

Because the story presently stands, Ocasio-Cortez is a “survivor” in the identical manner that the forged of ‘Survivor’ are.  Nonetheless, she managed to match her expertise on January 6 to that of a warfare veteran, prompting one other spherical of mockery.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could have been scared for her life. No one however her is aware of the way it felt to be in her footwear that day. But anybody making an attempt to disagree together with her on factual grounds is lacking the purpose.

By elevating one thing as nebulous as “lived expertise” to political discourse, AOC has managed to tug off one thing actually exceptional. Any opposition to her model of occasions isn’t debate any extra. It’s a private assault on a “survivor.” You’re together with her otherwise you’re with the “insurrectionists.” You consider her, otherwise you hate sexual assault victims. You’ll honor her “lived expertise,” otherwise you’ll facet with the “white-supremacist sympathizers” within the Republican celebration who enabled her trauma.

Let's take a second to evaluation. Rejecting that Jan 6 was a literal "coup try" or "rebellion" — and rejecting the following censorship/militarization — is now deemed tantamount to rejecting individualized "trauma," and due to this fact abusive. Actually wholesome, rational stuff

AOC’s theatrics aren’t efficiency for efficiency’s sake, nevertheless. In keeping with Thursday’s announcement, the Democrats talking on the remedy session gained’t simply share their “lived expertise.” They’ll additionally “name for accountability.”

What accountability means in observe is harder home terror legal guidelines, explicitly aimed toward Trump supporters and right-wingers. Within the phrases of AOC herself, who to her credit score has left the requires home repression to others in her celebration and intelligence company ghouls, accountability means a Nuremberg-like reckoning for anybody who labored for Donald Trump and the expulsion of anybody in Congress who disputed the outcomes of November’s election.

Conservatives hoping to defeat the likes of AOC with info and cause are as delusional as she is. The correct has been doing this for years and failing each time. With politics as emotionally-infused because it has been all through the Trump period, no one has ever modified their thoughts after watching some dorky Ben Shapiro movies, or come to some profound realization after tuning in to Dave Rubin’s lame speak present.

That’s as a result of the institution kowtows to this hysteria each time. The Biden administration and its allies in Congress will use her emotionally-laden testimony to usher within the repression they’ve already promised America. Supposedly impartial ‘fact-checkers’ will name you loopy for believing your individual mendacity eyes, and the mainstream media will name you a “terrorist” for hurting AOC’s emotions.

Consciously or not, AOC is main the US down a darkish path, with two doable outcomes. She’ll both overplay her hand and discredit the whole Democratic celebration together with herself, or she’ll achieve doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down till the proper is left with no different choice however to turn out to be all the pieces she claims it’s.
