Far-left Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said online Wednesday night that she felt like an "American revolutionary" - and was promptly mocked by conservatives.
Ocasio-Cortez posted the remark after she apparently visited "The Great Leap" at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History and tweeted out a photo that matches the text of a display featured at the museum:
The world the British colonists inherited was ruled by kings, hereditary aristocrats, and wealthy gentlemen. But in the year 1776, Americans decided to change that world. They would do without a king or aristocrats. They would create a new government based solely on "the people."
But who would really count as "the people," and how would it all work? Should wealthy and educated gentlemen still dominate the government? Should a new, representative form of government truly represent the interests and views of common men and women? How should those people participate to make their voices heard?
Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter: "Mood: American Revolutionary."
The representative-elect's attempt to identify herself with the American revolutionaries was too much for some of her critics, who responded online in hilarious fashion. ...
The best responses, IMHO, are below:
Rachael ~ "Whoa, She Guevara, settle down. You're no revolutionary. You're a dumb child with authoritarian pipe dreams. Real revolutionaries are those who fight for freedom, not collectivism and mob rule.
Donna Marie ~ "It would benefit us all greatly if 'the educated dominated the government' and not bubble-headed ex-bartenders."
Bailey Rogers ~ "Y'all talk a lot about how Trump is too dumb to be in office. The Founding Fathers advocated against 'almost' everything she stands for. This is an idiotic tweet."
Ben Shapiro ~ "Wait until you hear about their perspective on limited government and individual rights!"
Art Tavana ~ "Ocasio-Cortez is doing her phony Mr. Smith tour of the nation's capital for a generation of silly-putty revolutionaries. Just another lost cause."
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
