I've often wondered why conservatives don't play fire with fire. I guess they feel they have a reputation to protect. They may need to loosen their grip and grow a pair because the left isn't playing around but they are playing for keeps.

Don't underestimate people's ability to recognize extremism. She plays well in narrow segments but not widely. Have you ever noticed how Bernie receives high regards from the left but his ideas are either mitigated or dismissed? Bernie and AOC work in the 'aspirational' realm.

For now, but I think the point was young voters are being brainwashed into their ideology.  It's really a numbers game at this point.  At this rate, "someone" like AOC is bound to be in serious power sometime in the next 20 years. The problem is, by the time these young people grow up and understand the true ways of the world, they are replaced by more young, dumb voters. 

Since accurate history is slowly not being taught these days, we are bound to eventually repeat the bad parts of it.
