120 years ago, there were certainly low IQ, sloganeering politicians like AOC.
The big difference then was, such people didn’t have a massive government bureaucracy, and in particular - did not have the power of printed, fiat money, manipulated interest rates and the massive government debt it allows for 1000 different social-engineering schemes.
Right-and they did NOT have a 24/7 platform to spew groundless and laughable nonsense that the media would never challenge and would just broadcast AS IF factual.
“Everyone is entitled to his own opinion... but not to his own facts.”
And the complete backing of a propagandists media.
