TRANSCRIPT:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “They’re like, and we need to — you know, they say discrimination or unfair incarceration of black men, and then they pause and the crowd cheers, and it’s like, in their mind, they’re like ‘you’re welcome’ for acknowledging it. And it’s like, okay, acknowledging racism is a really big step. It’s a really big step from where we were. But you’re right, it’s nowhere near enough and the solutions are so painful. Frankly, I find it — I find the solutions for white communities to be very painful because it’s very painful for a community to understand and have go through this — like, you can be — the idea that you can be poor and benefit from the color of your skin does not compute for a lot of people. And going through that realization is very painful or even just economically for people that were born with silver spoons. It’s very painful to admit that you had advantages and it’s just — “

GRIM: “Look what happened to Brett Kavanaugh when he was confronted. He melted down in front of the whole country.”

OCASIO-CORTEZ: “Oh my God — it literally is an identity meltdown, it’s a fundamental — “

I am convinced that she is a stalking horse, designed to allow the partisan media to characterize Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, et al, as “Centrist”

If she were really ideologically pure, she would seek hormone treatment for her cis-gender error.

The transies have co-opted the language used by intersex people, and they’ve done everything they can to make the American people confused about the difference between intersex and trans.

For example, XY chromosomes would normally make a person a man, but some people have a condition where they don’t make male hormones, so their bodies externally look like women and they’re often unaware that they’re intersex until puberty, when they fail to menstruate. These people are usually “Assigned Female At Birth” because they are born with bodies that look just like those of XX/female infants.

This and other similar conditions are super rare medical conditions and have nothing to do with people erroneously believing that they are members of the opposite sex.

“Cisgender privilege” means not being a crazy person who thinks that the taxpayers should pay for extensive surgeries and hormones.

[WIKI] “Cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning “on this side of”, which means the opposite of trans-, meaning “across from” or “on the other side of”.

It makes so much more sense now... (snark)

There are three kinds of transpeople:

1. Little gay boys. (Jazz Jennings)

2. Self-hating women. (Chaz Bono)

3. Grown men who are sex perverts. (Bruce Jenner)

Break it down like this and a lot of things become obvious.

I acknowledge my own privilege in being born in a family with parents who stayed married to each other, where my family had the stable jobs and stable income that come with hard work. I also acknowledge the privilege my wife and I passed on to our own kids by not having children until we were married, by working hard to earn a stable living, by valuing faith and education, and by passing on our work ethic and our sincere dedication to following God’s Word to our children.

I still need more education to become woke. Someone needs to explain to me what stops those who score lots of intersectional diversity points from making exactly the same life choices. It looks to me like “privilege” is a new word for responsibility, but with the absurd connotation that responsible choices happened by accident.

As AOC would say, if she read this (if she can read, that is):

“That’s like, and we need to — you know, we say, um, and it’s like, in the conservative mind, you’re like not even seeing why this is not the world’s easiest, you know, choice. And democrats are like, okay.”

She’s not only stupid, she’s insane. A bad combo.


She’s stupid and energetic—that’s the dangerous combo.

All Out Communist as a stalking horse for Kamaltoe and Lizzie the Fake Squaw does make sense ... but they’re just as nuts as she is. I’m pretty sure it won’t work.

Trump 2020!

Is she apologizing for being a Normo?

Sorry, Honey. You’re not.

I didn’t mean we have to accept it or speak it, but we do have to be able to understand the words they are using. If we don’t engage them, the younger ones will accept what they say while we older wiser ones will not even understand what is being said. jmo

She’s a stream of concatenated commie bumper-sticker disconnected micro-thoughts.

I plan to use that the next time I am confronted with a particularly useless issue paper.

Disgendered? Is that like what Lorena Bobbitt did to John Bobbitt?

Someone needs to explain to her that genetically she is Caucasian (aka white). “Hispanic” is not a racial group, but a linguistic identification, from one of the romance (aka Latin origin) Spanish.

Like , , O my Gawd - someone besides me gets it. Sandy from Westchester is a complete fraud. She’s as white as the day is long. Ok, she has brown eyes and brown hair - that doesn’t make her an oppressed minority.

Dear Sandy, as our German tour guide at the Vatican patiently explained to some PC twats like you many years ago who were from Spain - “my dears, get over yourselves, take pleasure in the fact that we are all Romans”

I see. You don’t even know what “cisgender” means. Yeah, that’s a problem. I’ve seen many excellent rejoinders on Twitter against this AOC twit regarding this comment.
