AOC's Hilarious Six-Word Response About Trump And Musk's Breakup Is Going Mega Viral

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

We're on day two post-breakup.

At this point, we need to remember the "good times." Six months is quite the accomplishment, and honestly, waaay longer than we all thought it would last.

One person who had some thoughts about it was AOC.

Here six-word response about it is going viral:

1. Am I the only person finding the comment more than a bit sexist, and

being rather surprised at AOC?

[BaronChocula]

4. I had to scratch my head a bit

wondering if it's okay since a woman said it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. It's a meme that applies to all genders

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-girls-are-fighting

The Girls Are Fighting is a catchphrase used to joke about people falling out with each other publicly. The phrase was popularized by a 2019 video of American singer Azealia Banks commenting on the feud between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B in which she says, "Whaaat? What is the tea, the girls are fighting! Nooo… the girls are fighting, why?!" The Instagram Live became a notable reaction video in subsequent years, while the phrase "the girls are fighting" came to be used to joke about former friends having public disagreements.

[niyad]

6. I have no idea who those people are.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. okay they're easy to find on google

[niyad]

11. Is there a reason I should bother?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. only if you want more context on the meme to help you better understand AOC's use of it

No biggie if you don’t, though. There’s some info in the link I provided. HTH

[niyad]

14. Just because something is in common parlance within a portion of the

population, does not automatically mean it is therefore not sexist, regardless of who originated it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

27. It's very true! Also, increasingly, with the rise of queer/Black/otherwise marginalized voices being expanded into

the mainstream, it's possible to find that catchphrases, metaphors, memes and tropes that on their surface seem to apply to one gender or another actually are not being used in a sexist way. "The girls are fighting" has its origins in drag culture. OTOH, it's true that some find drag sexist, so.

[NH Ethylene]

38. I agree. It's quite sexist.

It makes me think of a football coach calling the boys 'pussies.'

Because being a girl is the worst insult.

[pattyloutwo]

25. 😂

[Celerity]

16. Nicki Minaj & Cardi B are two of the most famous females on the planet. The 'I have no idea who those people are' reply

is not the mic drop you think it is.

[niyad]

17. It was not intended as a mic drop, but was a simple statement of fact.

There are many people, however well-known to others, with whom I am not familiar, unlike Ralph in the (very) old joke. Not a value judgment, merely a statement of fact.

[SocialDemocrat61]

19. You don't know who Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are?

[niyad]

20. That was what I wrote.

[SocialDemocrat61]

23. What about Beyonc and Taylor Swift?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

28. They are kinda like The Andrews Sisters. Only they're not dead.

[Incanus]

30. LOL!

[synni]

29. That's nothing to admit publicly, let alone be proud of

[SocialDemocrat61]

32. I know

The problem is that some of are fellow DU members are trapped in a 24/7 news bubble and never stick their heads out of it.

[krkaufman]

42. OK ?

nt

[Cha]

8. No... it is surprising. That's all I'm going

to say. wouldn't want anyone to get the idea.. I was "solding".. it's an Opinion.

We're allowed to have them.

[efhmc]

13. Was my first thought. Should have been "those two infantile narcissists".

Sorry babies.

[thought crime]

2. AOC is the Best!

[BlueTsunami2018]

3. Instead of grabbing popcorn and watching two Nazis fight....

I’m seeing a bunch of people leaping to scold her for using those words.

It doesn’t mean that she hates women or she’s deriding them or whatever. It’s a fucking meme that’s been around for years and made popular by RuPaul’s drag race.

It’s why people hate a certain segment of the left. They’re so fucking uptight about everything. Chill people.

[niyad]

7. just. . wow. . .

[Cha]

9. Umm.. Please take your own advice. TY nt.

[writerJT]

33. Never fails. There's always at least one.

[NH Ethylene]

39. I can enjoy the fight immensely,

While still frowning a bit at AOC's use of a cute meme statement that denigrates women.

[BannonsLiver]

46. 100 percent. It's at the heart of why we lose.

[Incanus]

15. Even if this wasn't a meme (it is) her response could be seen as turning a phrase around to use on sexist men.

If AOC had used that phrase about women then it could possibly be construed as sexist BUT she used it to describe two very sexist men who deserve to be mocked by women as often as possible. AOC used her platform to make fun of the two most powerful misogynists in the world and the internet is here for it.

[NH Ethylene]

40. I assumed that was her aim.

And that's why the impish smile.

Still . . . I dislike a woman of prominence uttering words that perpetuate negative images of women.

[Incanus]

41. It was brilliant.

The catchphrase AOC used is not specific to one gender and has been around for years, it's part of pop culture and her use of it in this context was dead on. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

[wackadoo wabbit]

18. How about including it in the OP, so I don't have to click on an outside link to see it? ... n/t

[sl8]

21. "The girls are fighting, aren't they?", but the way she delivers it is significant.

As the article points out, she's imitating Azealia Banks' commentary about an altercation between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B.

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-girls-are-fighting

On September 8th, 2018, Azealia Banks hosted an Instagram Live reacting to Nicki Minaj and Cardi B engaging in a public altercation at New York Fashion Week, using a bunny filter to record herself saying, "Whaaat? What is the tea, the girls are fighting! Nooo… the girls are fighting, why?!"

31. AOC's so quick, she makes clapping back seem effortless.

By the time people realize what happened she's already moved on, that's just one of the reasons she's a rock star.

[wackadoo wabbit]

47. Thank you so much! ... n/t

[MorbidButterflyTat]

22. IT'S A JOKE!!

I saw her say this yesterday, it was off the cuff JOKE.

Not everything is offensive.

[SocialDemocrat61]

24. There are some

who will feign offense at anything AOC says or does.

[krkaufman]

44. It doesn't have to be feigned.

They can perceive actual offense. But maybe they could also go read ‘Fahrenheit 451’; a quest to purge all commentary that could be perceived as offensive by anyone doesn’t end at a happy destination. Even more so when the intent and context of the original statement is ignored or supplanted.

[Rebl2]

26. Yes AOC

the DIVAS are having a cat fight 👏

[70sEraVet]

34. It injures the pride of two narcissists who imagine themselves to be ...

the epitome of manliness. That's good enough for me.

[NBachers]

35. Tiffany and Debbie Gibson finally have it out in Mega Python vs Gatoroid

[Emile]

36. I wonder what Jasmine Crockett would say too

if asked the same question. LOL 😆

[PCIntern]

37. In response to the question, whether this is sexist or not,

May I please interject that I have spent the last 25 years hearing women tell me that Generals of the Army and Admirals of the Navy with their weapons of war are “boys with toys”, that there’s “too much testosterone” for humankind’s own good, that men “are the problem”, that if men had to endure mammograms or childbirth yada yada yada.

Does anyone here think that these are sexist expressions, that men “deserve” these appellations because of their past history? Do I ever see this question asked? Of course, not… We take them as how there are intended and move on to have civilized discussions.

We all know exactly what the congresswoman meant when she said that with a smile and it is a very common takedown of males, and I have spent a career listening to black women describe their husbands, boyfriends, family members who are male as “girls“ in one context or another. I personally think it’s a riot and when people make fun of men, I think it’s a riot.Of course, there are those who would watch a film like The Birdcage and take offense. Really. Come on…

The tragically-deceased comedian Richard Lewis early in his career had a very funny shtick. To paraphrase it went like this: ok ok ok, somewhere there’s an Asian guy who doesn’t have a camera strap on his neck, and ok ok ok, somewhere there’s a Jewish guy who likes to pick up the check for the whole table, and somewhere….etc. it was FUNNY. AOC is funny.

As was stated in another film: Lighten up, Francis.

[milestogo]

43. I love her, but I don't think its hilarious.

It plays into the whole "catfight" narrative.

[BannonsLiver]

45. The comments about her being sexist are basically the essence of "why we lose."

SMH
