Aoc Gets Philosophical At Sxsw: Like, You Know, Like, Whatever, You Know?

New York’s freshman congressman, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has, like, a lot to say, lol.

Over the course of a wide-ranging 80-minute interview at South by Southwest on Saturday, the 29-year-old left-wing lightning rod let loose a litany of “likes,” “you knows,” and “whatevers.”

In between calling America “garbage,” capitalism “irredeemable,” and President Reagan racist, AOC said “like” no fewer than 71 times, “You know” at least 34 times, and “whatever” five times.

She also said “ummm” too many times for us to count. The popular progressive personality also has a penchant for peppering her prose with, “I think” and “I guess.”

Speaking of her strategy of not trying to convince critics “of anything,” AOC advised: “Stop trying to win people over, stop trying to enter a conversation thinking that you’re going to, like, ‘aha’ them into changing their minds. And so, I think, that, you know, we’ve kind of lost the art of conversation. So when I enter a conversation with someone I actually try to learn more about where they’re coming from, like I try — I actually use it as an experience to — like, let’s say, I’m talking to someone who’s saying something really racist and they don’t even realize that they’re saying something really racist, I — I asked some questions because I’m interested, I’m fascinated by that. How does that work, you know?”

Fascinating, sure, but she was hardly finished: “But you have to — we have to learn to, like, really disarm ourselves in these conversations first of all, because we approach them with so much hostility and, like, they get mad and we get mad and all of these things and — and we have — so, part of it is, like, emotional work. And — and the second part of it is intention, like, what are you trying to get out of this conversation?”

This, we regret to inform you, is but a small sampling. There was so, so much more. Which is why we compiled everything into one short supercut featured above.

Please, like, enjoy, or whatever.

The world would be like, so much better if we just, I mean, did something about capitalism, you know?. I mean, it’s like, say you have this dollar, and I want it. So why should I have to give me something for it? It’s like racist or something, whatever.

When she is off script from her puppet masters, she is unintelligible. It reminds me of Zer0 in his off the cuff moments: ‘Ah! Ah! The—ah—time, is you know, the-ah time to go, go, ah, to, to Congressssss. You know?’

When OAC gets going, of the cuff, she jumps from one idea to the other right in the middle of the sentence. When she gets hung up explaining something, she goes into the “you know?” mode with “you knows” between sentence fragments. When someone can’t complete a sentence, she convinces you that she does not know what she is talking about. I am about ready to call her Zero too—zero brains for anything.

Someone needs to do a parody song about AOC based on Frank Zappa’s Valley Girl.

“Stop trying to win people over, stop trying to enter a conversation thinking that you’re going to, like, ‘aha’ them into changing their minds.”

In other words, don’t bother to justify your opinions rationally.

I urge my fellow patriots to go to DCPatriot.com and find the video on the real power/people behind AOC. It is an excellent bit of reporting/intel on who she really is (a puppet) and who the people are that are behind her....and what their real agenda is.

It is a bit unsettling and I have to tell you, while we on the right side of things may be tempted to just sit back and let the dems go after each other’s throats in this new power struggle, I keep seeing parallels to what happened in the early days of the rise of the Nazi party. You might feel the comparison is a bit over the top....until you learn about the sentiments of her chief staffer and the guy he idolizes (always wears a T shirt with this guys face on it for a reason). It is good intel and time well spent. AOC may be a stooge, but she is part of a very dangerous group....you need to know about this....

The people in America today that do not understand or believe in the coming storm and tragedy that will befall millions of American-Jew Democrats, are the Democrat American-Jews, themselves. It’s really hard to believe that “Never Again” & “History Does Repeat Itself” are both true, repeated observations.

American-Jews have voluntarily chosen to ignore the hand writing on the wall that clearly defines the hate of American Jews and Israel that is alive & well in the current Democrat Party.

As these Jews dance happily along, literally, without a care in the world, fatal danger lies in wait from two sides of American rank & file citizens.

One fatal danger, comes from the Democrat Party Progressives, Socialists & Communists, etc. and, the other comes from millions of average, Americans who will not be in their corner when danger strikes at their hearts & lives.

Why? Because the average Joe & Jane America will say, “Well if these American-Jews want to sit on their hands, and stand by their Democrat Party, who hates them...that is their problem. They should never support or vote for any Progressive, Socialist, Communist, Democrat again...period...end of story.

Sadly, the American-Jews have quickly forgotten history, which has not been kind to them, their families, their children, their futures, their lives.

Like him or not, POTUS, Donald J. Trump is a champion of American-Jewry and the great state of Israel. Too bad American Jews have nary a clue. They will, in the coming future, pay a dear price for their ignorance of the real world. Go figure!!!

I always cheered when Howie Carr wrote verbatim what Teddy Kennedy said. It took two lines for The Swimmer’s eh, ahh, umm, etc., mmms to say clearly, “I’ll have a Scotch, two Schiltz and three broads.”

It’s not over the top at all.

The Democrat Party IS The American Nazi Party.

Literally.

If the GOP is smart, they will run on that explicitly.

The Democrats won’t condemn anti-Semitism.
The Democrats will allow you to own a business, but they want the government to control your business.
The Democrats support killing living children. They do not think infanticide is morally wrong.
The Democrats don’t care about individuals, they value groups.
The Democrats clearly value some groups over other groups.
The Democrats use government as a tool to harass and destroy their enemies.

The GOP is running against the Nazis, and the GOP should say so.

"Stop trying to win people over..."

Yes, just silence them. Destroy their lives if they refuse to shut up.
