Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is warning that the United States may be entering an era of 'fascism and authoritarianism' as the country prepares for President-elect Donald Trump to return to power.
The 35-year-old socialist-leaning New York congresswoman hopped on Instagram Wednesday to speak with her liberal followers about the election results where she painted an extremely bleak picture for the country's future.
The leading member of the House Democrats' progressive 'Squad' said the U.S. is entering a political period that will have consequences 'for the rest of our lives.'
'We find ourselves I believe in a time where there are lets say peers in history of massive movements of people that mobilize to protect one another in times of fascism and authoritarianism. And this is the era that we are poised to enter,' AOC said.
Her Instagram live posting came less than 24 hours after Trump had a crushing victory in the 2024 presidential election with what is likely to be a clean sweep of every battleground state which left Democrats reeling.
The congresswoman, who cruised to her own victory in New York, dressed in a t-shirt and little makeup appeared to be joining her followers from a kitchen.
She started by saying she hopes everyone is 'hanging in there' and acknowledged people were telling her they are upset and scared.
AOC spoke about what everyone experienced with the election before giving her grim take on what's ahead.
'Donald Trump has talked about turning the military on U.S. citizens that he deems his domestic political enemies. Authoritarians and people that he associates closely with and strongmen aboard in regimes like that, it's not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents,' the congresswoman said.
'This is the world that we very realistically may be entering,' she added.

To cheer her up, somebody needs to remind her that if the big cheat had not happened, Trump would be concluding his 2nd and final term right now.
The people of NY deserve what they vote for...
Hochul, AOC, Newscum now the loud voices leading the Democrats - really couldn’t ask for anything better.
That dim bulb commie could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.
She’s irrelevant.
Can you believe it took her two days to write and memorize that utter gibberish?
Socialist leaning = Communist
A new Sherrif in town, Hon.
Did she have to pay for her Tesla or was it a gift?

See You Next Tuesday, Sandy.
Gear up for 2026, Sandy. You are going down.

Ever notice how SOCIALISTS (Nationalist SOCIALIST and Communist SOCIALIST) scream and call their opposition “fascist?” Now why would anyone want to be labelled with a THIRD RATE Political party out of Italy in the 1930s.
It is because the SOCIALISTS recognize each other as BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER.
Goebbel’s own words...”Lenin is the greatest man, second only to Hitler, and that the difference between Communism and the Hitler faith is very slight.”-Joseph Goebbels

“Controversial problems [between Germany and Russia] did not, in my opinion, exist anywhere along the line from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea and to the Far East. In addition, despite all the divergencies in their views of life, there was one thing common to the ideology of Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union: opposition to the capitalist democracies in the West.”—Julius Schnurre, Nazi trade rep to Russia.
