Oh, no, the rightwingnuts are outraged because there’s a video of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez … dancing.
Shudder.

But is she wearing a tan suit?
You should have heard the House Republicans groan and boo when AOC voted for Pelosi today. They were sure she would vote for Karl Marx.
Heard that in real time. Keeping it classy as ever, Republicans.
The replies are hilarious.
And Ally Sheedy gave her blessing over it.
Here is a link to the full video on YouTube - uploaded in September 2010 by the BU student who produced the video mashup of the Brat Pack movie dance scenes.
I love that the original Tweet called it a high school video of AOC - he never read the YouTube description.
I guess congresswomen aren’t allowed to dance in college - or something like that…
Turns out Qanon is the Joh Lithgow character from Footloose.
She and Beto ought to get together and revive their high school performing personae.
I wish I’d been half as confident, attractive, or cool in college as Ocasio-Cortez is in that video. I have absolutely no idea how that video was supposed to be derogatory. What, like we’re opposed to enthusiastic and happy young people dancing? I guess she’ll lose the support of the Southern Baptists now, but otherwise?
Lemme just check the demographics of her district for Southern Baptists…
Oh my, 68! That may spell trouble for her. Wait. Wait. Oh, that’s 68, not 68%. Well okay then.
They just found that? I saw that months ago!
AOC, dancing in a tan suit? Reddit would break. Even the Trump worshippers want her.
And the mic drops on them:
I’m seriously beginning to wonder if AOC isn’t some sort of 4D chess move by…
…Nancy Pelosi.
Think about it. AOC’s election has:
- Removed a potential (albeit unlikely) threat to Pelosi’s Speakership in Crowley.
- She makes the GOP go ape-shit just by existing. She makes a scene, the GOP stares in disbelief and NP gets some shit done while they’re distracted.
2a. She has the side benefit that the GOP’s slams against her look sexist, racist, and ageist. This gives the Dems an in with the younger crowd generally and independents in particular. - (This is the high-wire act) AOC gives the Dems progressive cred and as long as she is seen to be taken even semi-seriously, the progressives will stay more or less in the fold. The balance is that they can’t ignore her completely or the Bernie Bro effect kicks in and the progressives revolt and thus guarantee 4 more years of Trump and the GOP’s continued control of the country - which at this point might be the last election the progressives get to vote in.
That is beautiful.

I just heard the most perfect stupid response to the shutdown from a Trump fan in an interview on MSNBC. So perfect, I had to back it up and write it down:
“If this did not affect my household directly, I would tell him to stand tall because something needs to be done. But since it does affect me and my wife, we are government employees, if this continues we will not have a paycheck. But I definitely understand where Trump is coming from.”
So yeah, if it didn’t hurt you, you would cheer for it hurting other people. You evil, stupid fuckwit.
That had me screaming expletives at the TV.
