Era of resistance defines new generation of House Democrats

Ready or not, change is coming to the House Democrats.

Across the country, a new generation is making its way to Washington. It's not just that some of the Democrats, like 28-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are young and progressive. They are. Or that many are women entering politics who want to fight President Donald Trump. They do. Or even that some of them live in Trump country.

They also come to politics steeped in an era of resistance and revolt, like the tea party Republicans who rose against President Barack Obama and the so-called Watergate babies elected after President Richard Nixon.

[snip] Ocasio-Cortez, who says being a Democratic socialist is "a part of what I am, it's not all of what I am" — declined to say whether she would support Pelosi as House leader, calling any decision now "premature."

They are not elected yet. We will see whether their radicalism backfires as is their violence.

Maybe we should take up a collection to buy Ocasio-Cortez additional TV airtime. She’ll drive more voters to the MAGA party than anything else.

“Era of resistance defines new generation of House Democrats”

well, they DO have to get elected first ...

and no doubt some will, so we can look forward to raucous uncivil behavior in the House that will make fabulous fodder for more TV ads as to why these haters should never be let back into majority power ...

A new generation which was weaned on the activist hate America rant of the Boomers of the summer of ‘68. Those Boomers grew up and went into academy and media and taught the skulls full of mush their own version of religious intolorance: Leftist politics. How sharp like a serpents tooth the dismissal will feel to the sclerotics who knew enough, all these years, to soften the commie edge. Their offspring internalized their teachers true rage and hate....AND HERE THEY COME!!!!

What’s going to define them is that they are resisting a booming economy, bringing manufacturing back, cracking down on human trafficking, and a whole lot of other policies that most Americans support.

Here they come to boot the sclerotics and OPENLY fight for the end the sclerotics painstakingly hid their fight for, for all this time. Frankensteins monster is in the process of angrily back-handing him to the floor.
