Is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a Fringe Whackjob

by Tom Rhodes, 2/15/2019

Is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a fringe Whackjob, or is she just bringing the Democrat party out of the closet?

Clearly the Democrat party has abandoned liberalism for authoritarian principles. They clearly recognize that they cannot reach their Utopian dreams if they continue to embrace liberal principles. The Democrats are now an authoritarian socialist party. There is no way that the Democrat party can claim to be liberal.

Liberals used to be defined as people who believed in Liberalism, which is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.

Classical liberalism, a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, where the governments purpose is to insure and protect individual rights and civil liberties of all equally, guaranteeing the rule of law, and equality under the law.

Economic liberalism, the ideological belief in organizing the economy on individualist lines, such that the greatest possible number of economic decisions are made by private individuals and not by collective institutions.

The Democrats have and are rejecting the will of the people, they commonly refer to the masses as “flyover country,” deplorables, etc. The current Democrat positions:

Reject Religious Liberty

Legalize Infanticide

End the Second Amendment and Your Right to Self Defense

End Free Speech through “hate speech” laws

Anti-Semitism

End Due Process

Different rules for Elite than Masses

Green New Deal(GND)

Force Home Reconstruction

Outlaw 99% of Private Vehicles

Eliminate Nuclear Energy

Ban Affordable Energy

End most Air Travel

Forced Government Healthcare

Nationalize Banks

End right to spend money on speech

Replace Republic of USA with Democracy

Abolish Electoral College

Establish Federal Control of heat, electricity, phone, internet, and public transportation

Ban Meat

Provide Income to those Unwilling to Work
The GND is supposedly about Climate Change, but most of the proposed ideas in the GND have nothing to to do with Climate Change, the proposal is instead an authoritarian wish list to end the Constitution.

None of the current policies and objectives of the Democrat party are liberal. They are even openly racist calling for segregation on our college campuses. I cannot find anywhere Democrats want to protect or increase individual liberty, economic freedom, or civil rights. Clearly today’s Democrats want to eliminate the Bill of Rights. Other than the Third Amendment all of the Bill of Rights is getting in the way of how the Democrats want the power to control all aspects of how all Americans life. They are openly calling to end our Constitutional Republic and replace it with some oligarchy not bound by any of the restrictions that, We The People, placed on them. Democrats clearly chafe at the idea that the mere masses, don’t accept their superiority, and that the will of the people should be ignored because the ruling elites know best how everybody should live. The Democrats are clearly Authoritarian.

Ocasio-Cortez Occasional-Cortex is not a fringe fruitcake of the Democrat party, she and all those who support the GND, are the reality of what the Democrats believe. It is not liberal, or conservative, but leftist authoritarianism. Occasional-Cortex in a recent interview came out and said that to enact the GND there would necessarily be some totalitarian actions by government.

Psychology Today lists What You Can Expect From an Authoritarian. Clearly the actions and attitude of today’s Democrat party reject liberalism and embrace all the top 10 traits of Authoritarians:

Hatred.

Punishment and Cruelty.

Violence, Aggression, and Assaultive Behavior.

Threats and Scare Tactics.

Quixotic, Unclear Rules.

Paranoia and Enemies’ Lists.

Truth Held as Enemy.

Shaming Efforts, Derision, and Ridicule.

Rigidity and Obsession with Control.

Intrusiveness.
