re: #219 Blind Frog Belly White

One of my friends on FB is a “Trump is a pig but I like his policies”-type Republican. He posted something about AOC’s dismissive shutdown of Shapiro’s “Debate Me, Libtard!”, and when I said if Shapiro wanted to debate AOC, he should run as a candidate from her district, he said, “But don’t you think her ideas should be debated?”

I pointed out she’d be 1/435th of the House, its most junior member, and that her ideas would certainly be debated there.

But, you know, he couldn’t really let it go. Something about her youth, enthusiasm, charisma, and unashamed Progressivism really, REALLY bothers them.

Because she’s so young, there’s a possibility she could be in Congress for the next 40-50 years (or higher, depending on how she does and how popular she gets/stays, especially nationwide).

She is conservative Republicans’ worst nightmare writ large: she’s a very public reminder of the browning of America and that old white guys running the country are still on-track to become an endangered species..
