Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the Trump is deliberately overwhelming the public with chaotic news to induce passivity.

Citing Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy and historian Michiko Kakutani’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, she argued that Trump uses the internet to spread disinformation, much like past dictators used film and radio.

Urging people to stay engaged, she emphasized that collective resistance can slow harmful policies and that small acts of opposition make a difference.

    Do you guys ever sit there and kinda feel numb?

    You know eventually things may escalate and things feel like if that happens, it’ll start a very bloody and horrific result. And when that happens a lot of things will drastically change.

    A beginning of horror - Just because humans do always what they do in history - especially leaders.

    They’ve known for so long what they could have done to make things better. But they choose not to everyday. Why do a lot of them go bad? Why does this always happen? Are we all doomed to repeat a cycle until the Earth dies?

    Just a cycle of greedy humans making others suffer.
