“And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?” AOC added
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.
The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a “conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the” bill only to walk out with “signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.”
Because ⅔ of the country asked for it. The remaining third have recessed into their happy place and refuse to come out. There’s really no one left to riot.
Less than one third.
Don’t be mistaken, people who decided not to vote against Trump share the same level of blame. In some cases more, because all-the-way Trumpists are gone as human, and hardly reachable, but a lot of abstainers had the capacity to change, had the mental ability to do the right thing, but actively decided not to, and that’s a use of free will that shouldn’t be mistaken for anything else.
91 million people didn’t vote. 77 million voted for Trump. That’s roughly ⅔ of the country.
