"There are many different types of intelligence. The trick is compartmentalizing them, and acknowledging that someone can be a rare genius in some things and just normal, or even stupid, in others. You're right that AOC and Trump have very similar talent stacks when it comes to social media. I also think both are very skilled in the Slightly Off Attention Grab, where you say something that feels wrong in order to draw attention to your point — in other words, I think AOC wanted people to misquote her as saying the world will end in 12 years, because it spreads her message and makes both her base and centrists see hoaxes in the opposing media. A lot of politicians seem to be trying this, but they don't really understand it — they think it's just appealing to the extreme fringe of the base, which does earn opposing media coverage, when the technique is really about weaving the illusion of appealing to that fringe while embedding a message for moderates on the other side. And yes, AOC, I get that pointing to costs for prevention isn't a good argument against impending calamity. Fair point. But I also don't believe the calamity is anywhen close to 12, or 20, years away. The point I'm getting at is both have excellent persuasion skills. Doesn't make them God's, just means they can change minds if given a platform. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" Also over-calcualtion, or perhaps lack of understanding, on how percieved ideas will be taken. I would say the Amazon HQ situation in NY is a good example. I think AOC was under then impressive that big, bad Amazon wouldnt have liberal support in NY. Turns out people wanted jobs, liberals use Amazon(shock), and outrage wasnt outrage, it was more meh. So when Amazon unexpectedly pulled out, AOC(and others) were left holding the bag, in less than optimal optics. Don't even get me started in the FAQ section of the Green New Deal....

" Congress already rejected that argument. Trump tried to convince them that they were just funding the Secure Fence Act of 2006. There was even leftover money in the fund (off the top of my head it seems like it was a little over 1.3 billion left). He gave Congress the out that you are suggesting. They could have granted funding and told their voters - they were only funding what was already approved. Since Congress rejected that and said it was still Trump's Wall, I can't buy into your theory. The truly sad part is that Trump was giving the democrats a potential win. They could say they stood for border security that was already approved, and not building Trump's wall. I have friends who have been shot at in the desert area that the most recent wall section will protect. I hope we don't get to the point where every voter needs to experience a personal threat from an illegal before they realize security is important. Think of the wall as Gun Control for Cartels from south of the border.

" AOC: It's terrifying! (what is it? A garbage disposal) AOC:"I don’t know what it’s for, or what its purpose is. Like, food scraps? Like, is this environmentally sound?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwpHqKdIMVM PoE Origins - Piety's story http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2081910

" Exactly. She knows what it is. So why do this? Attention? Seeking criticism from the right. Trying to de-sensitize us? Or maybe as innocent as a shitty sense of humor. She makes cringey and awkward statements all the time. Honestly like a puzzle scattered on the floor I have zero desire to figure out, but still wonder outloud "what the fuck is all over my floor" "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

" Yeah Trump fans totally made up the cartel like wtf Fun fact, Chihuahua, which borders on New Mexico and Texas, has an almost 4x homicide rate compared to the very worst state in the US (Louisiana).
