AOC in deep red country

More Perfect Union and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Jun 9, 2026

A high-profile progressive traveling in red states is an inviting target. Personally, I try to avoid red states whenever possible.

I may not be around to see it, but she’ll be president after she defeats Schumer in 28.

I hope to live long enough to see the orange monster dead or in jail, our ship of state beginning to make a u-turn to better governance and, now, AOC as Senator, perhaps leading to President.
