Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was mocked this week after claiming that the United States was about to enter a time of “fascism” after President-elect Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris.
“We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives. We cannot give up,” the leftist lawmaker said in a video posted on social media.
“We now find ourselves in a time in history that has precedent and we find ourselves, I believe, in a time where there are, let’s say, peers in history of mass movements of people that mobilize to protect one another, in times of fascism and authoritarianism,” she said.
“And this is the era that we are poised to enter,” she claimed. “Donald Trump has talked about turning the military on US citizens that he deems his domestic political enemies, authoritarians, and people that he affiliates closely with and strong men abroad.”
She fretted that Trump may “jail political dissidents or legislative opponents” in his upcoming term.
“This is the world that we very realistically may be entering,” she claimed.

Media analyst Joe Concha responded to AOC’s rant: “AOC is one of the main reasons the Democratic Party is where it is right now. Take your cues from her or MSNBC or CNN and expect this result.”
Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon responded: “This is all they’ve got. Even after they lose because of it, they can’t help but double down.”

Ocasio-Cortez previously compared Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler when she falsely claimed that Trump had set up “concentration camps” for illegal aliens that had entered the U.S.
