Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged countering the Trump administration’s policies by resisting at every turn, arguing that its incompetence makes it vulnerable.

Her remarks followed chaos caused by a rescinded executive order that temporarily shut down Medicaid portals nationwide.

She encouraged activists to take offline action, citing ongoing mobilization efforts.

Her strategy focuses on making governance difficult for Trump, calling his administration “dangerous and cruel” but also “shockingly dim.”

      “Walking away” isn’t a thing in this case. You are not entitled to choose not to fulfill your obligations as a citizen.

      Even if you want to emigrate, that’s not your choice: you have to convince some other country to let you in. Until that happens, you’re fucking stuck here and you have to suck it up, buttercup, and deal with it!

      Just a bunch of cowards who don’t want to recognize the impotence of their unwillingness to get involved directly.
