If they lock up a member of Congress, dems will fold faster than a house of cards.
They have no teeth except when there's a person with mildly center left policies or a middle eastern country that's not giving them unlimited access to their oil
We already had a problem, the democrats could've figured this out when they started arresting students and teachers during the Biden admin. They were too busy navel gazing and tut-tutting to understand the A to B. You're correct, they will absolutely fold, they stand for literally nothing.
Her and Sanders didn't even have the courage or wherewithal to head down to El Salvador to back up Garcia, had to leave it to some no-name centrist Senator
Fair weather ass pretenders
AOCIA showing she only cares to do photo ops and social media stunts, not enough to actually do ANYTHING else
"Oh I know, I'll vote 'present' on this measure that everyone with a soul is against"
"Garcia who??? I have to arm Israel sweety" 
Maybe she knew she wouldn't get a 
photo op
lmao, the fuck is she going to do? write a strongly worded letter? make a frowny face at them?
Cry outside their jail cell in front of cameras while wearing all white and high heels
"The Democratic party is working tirelessly to get our colleagues released from prison"
This is the most important election of our lives. If you stand with the #Resistance, donate $5 to the Democrat Resistance Fund today.
It's clearly petition* time!
*The ghoulish art of giving people a false sense of agency by asking them to sign one.
She'll make a really sarcastic TikTok and then do a goofy GenZ dance
Nice to know she and the rest of Congress draws the line right before themselves. "Representatives", my ass.
That's actually kind of interesting. Will the Dems call their followers to violence if their own lives are on the line? The capitol riot may have traumatized enough of them
They'll flee to Ottawa, form a government in exile, and wonder why they aren't getting NED money
Please, trump could lock the doors to the House of Representatives and start shooting dems one by one and these useless fucking ghouls would be voting for him to shoot other dems before them
Baath Party Congress of 2025
that's exactly what person who doesn't want to do resistance nonsense would say 
I can excuse rounding up average citizens but if they touch politicians we're going to have a problem.
dems take the house, AOC becomes speaker
aoc kills trump and vance, then pardons herself as president
Fam, if you've found a door to ~~Narnia~~ the timeline chuds imagine we live in, tag us in
I remember how badly January 6th scared her out of a legitimate concern that they would kill her. She also became even more complicit with the Dems after that. Chances are she would fold as well.
People love to insist she was grown in a CIA lab to be a bartender or whatever, but I think AOC’s behavioral evolution is pretty much what you’d expect from a normie DSA lib who’s spent every waking hour for most of the last decade in an isolated bubble composed entirely of the worst people alive. The more time people spend in the imperial congress, the more they can’t help but start to see other congresspeople as their only peers and normal people as a vague abstract mass that can only be understood through op-eds, poll divination, and campaign strategists.
She's right. Congress would have a problem.
Just thinking back to how Rashida Talib was treated when she was trying to bring attention to the Palestinian genocide and how none of her peers backed her up.
But now that Trump is president its a good time to stand up for peers since bad things only happen when there's a dang Cheeto in the White House.
I won't do anything about anyone else, but if you come for me, I might try to stop you.
Yes, you... a member of the Democratic Party... will have a problem when the Republican Party starts locking up members of the Democratic Party. You will be in jail, prison, or disappeared to places unknown.
glad to hear we don't yet have a problem
The majority of Dems in Congress would vote to allow the president to kill other Dems in Congress as long as they weren't one of them. lol. What? Trump could strangle her on live TV and nothing. Nothing at all, would happen. The US is cooked.
I am sure the trump admin is shaking in its boots
What are you going to do? Impeach him like you all did before? Hexs comitting genocide same as 
. You had years of 
and 
to unfuck the PATRIOT ACT which all this shit is a derivative of but just made it worse. Your party made Trump as a STRATEGY.
I hope Trump does a Saddam-style purge on the entire Congress
What's she going to do? Write a strongly worded letter?
Keyboard warrior princess Alexandria
Crying from the other side of the fence
We had our chance to give Ilhan Omar a Gundam.
She didn't blow that chance. We did.
Awwww what are these politicians gonna do? Fillibuster on a meeting? File a complaint? Yell on social media? Oh wait they are already doing that one.
Call me when they do something actually useful.
"We are going to have a problem" should mean guillotines. The tried and true means of getting rid of tyranny.

To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
