So many are gullible.
There are times when something is true, and is explained so well that it "rings of truth"...and this is one of them.
When I read this, I had no idea:
"...Lest you think I exaggerate, question: Do you know how Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) entered politics?
She was chosen by “progressive” PAC the Justice Democrats, from about 10,000 applicants, through what was, essentially, an audition-like process.
Yes, really...."
There is something rather frightening about this. (Not to mention the fact that AOC has only been around in Congress since 2018...it seems far, Far longer than that.)
I have always viewed the modern Democrat party as evil...not just "evil", but...Evil. Not kidding. I did not always view them that way, I used to view them, a long time ago, as Americans with a different point of view. That isn't the case with the current Democrat party. I do not (and have not for many years) view them as "Fellow American Citizens". I view them as hostile agents who view this Nation, the Constitution, and the American culture as something to be "fundamentally changed" and destroyed.
So, when I see this rank, Machiavellian approach to power by the Left as foundationally repulsive, and in their own manipulative and deceitful way, I could visualize them discussing it baldly as follows:
"Let's try this: we cannot win on ideas since Americans don't desire things like higher taxes, more intrusive government, and less freedom, so let's just bypass all that by having this attractive, loquacious person run for office. They cannot construct a cogent thought of their own, but they don't need to. They just need to sound like they can, and be classically handsome or beautiful in appearance in order to appeal to the shallow people who we need to cast votes for one of our candidates."
There is this direct and unabashed appeal to the shallowness (that is, to a degree, part of human nature in all people) by the Left that I find wholly repugnant.
