AOC tells followers to 'lock in' as Trump administration tries to 'flood the zone'
Fox News ^ | 2/07/25 | Alexander Hall

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., released a blistering 92-minute video condemning the Trump administration and advising followers on how to resist it.

Ocasio-Cortez did a livestream on Tuesday where she lamented the Trump administration’s numerous initiatives, telling her followers, "The first order of business is to self-regulate. What authoritarian regimes try to do is that they often try to, what is known as ‘flood the zone,’ do so much at once or try to do so much at once that it gets carried in the news, that you are that you feel overwhelmed and paralyzed."

She added further in her video broadcast, "It's important for you to understand that the paralysis and shock that you feel right now is the point. They are trying to induce a state of passivity among the general public."

Ocasio-Cortez advised her followers to "divide and conquer" in the same way that she says Trump allies are.

"The same way that I'm telling you all to kind of divide and conquer, they are also dividing and conquer - they're acting very strategically and they are each playing their own role right?" She said. "So the way that they're playing their own role we can each be playing our own role, all right?"

I don’t even know what she means Lock in with the zone flood, bitches. And yaks like a rapper. I don’t speak jive, sweetie. She should use colorful bartending terms— “Trump be splashin’ the vermouth.” Or whatever. She’s no Ben Franklin.

Divide and conquer?

That’s a tactic when your enemy is in dire straights or on the run or losing, no?

I think our side is pretty united..VERY united in being for the same big things and against the INSANE things.

She’s a buffoon.

That party is a disaster.

Good.

What is America’s dumbest bartender babbling about now?
It’s almost as hard to read her words, as it is to listen to her. Notice, I said “almost”.

We know. Hillary "I get domestic!" Clinton 1993. Barack Obama 2009. Anthony Fauci 2020. We've seen it all - and which political party it comes from.

92 minutes?

What message takes 92 minutes of video to get across?

“ Do these commies sit around and wait for instructions? ”

I believe they do. They are a herd, a hive mind. They must be told how they should feel about certain issues. They simply do not think for themselves.

So they’re advocating for insurrection, eh?

And just how long do these people think they can stay locked in?

She feels better when her mouth is running.

“Flood the zone” was what the left has been doing this last 4 years.

She is referring to an obscure Trannieball play where the inner line holds hands and sings the Queer Anthem

OK, thanks for that. So its a dog whistle then for a certain small segment of the population to unify, or sing, or dance or whatever. ;)

Note to AOC:

You are propped up by electoral cheating, Soros, and an exquisitely dumb electorate in your district.

All three factors are dissolving quickly.

Your district may flip to GOP before I go to room temperature.

May it be!
