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.

Che’ette Guevara. She’s an idiot that fell off a garbage truck and landed in America.
Heeee—Hawwww.
Whatever Chompers.
Hey, I already voted for Trump, she doesn't have to keep selling him to me.
AOC go park your EV at Whole Foods.
Try to keep it between the lines.
Trying to out word salad kamalalala perhaps?
She’s long past her sell by date.
Just keep on polishing those rocks you glittering jewel of colossal ignorance. (one of my favorite Rushisms)
Boy, talk about loving the sound of your own voice, she must record every word she utters so she can listen to it ad infinitum
Trump won the popular vote. Doesn’t AOC believe in “our democracy”? Maybe she’s a closet “election denier”!
Every night feels like Christmas Eve…I can’t wait to get up and see what Santa Trump has left me LOL
Such great comments….love you guys
Maybe we’ll get and investigation of the AOC ,LOL
In the photo at the linked article she looks like a South American drug kingpin who hasn’t slept in three days while he’s on a cocaine binge.
That there are people who vote for this ditz tells us something about how stupid a substantial portion of the electorate is.
Barmaid of the House speaketh.
Here’s what probably happened:
Word went out and they’re trying different narratives to see what trends. They’re all over the map.
But the fact is that the puppet masters have divorced themselves from their peons for the time being and this is evidence.
My prior gut on all this persists. I smell a massive trap. The prior Bee article about ‘4D chess’ was indeed ironic.
Public education and our MSM have been failing us for decades.
An uneducated or ill educated public is the intentional result.
