11. Their hatred of AOC

is an accurate measure of their pathology. It is the synergy of their hate for women, non-whites, and especially non-white women who are much more intelligent than them. The irony is that AOC is a strong advocate for a better life than them. As Beatle George sang in "Within You, Without You," "if they only knew." But hatred blinds people, and handcuffs logical thought.

Not adding fuel to the fire is an essential strategy. It in no way restricts our ability to bring about the creative tension that Dr. King spoke of. Rather, it means that we pick when and where we make that "good trouble." And if AOC were to get the restraining order, I am confident that MTG would violate it. Doing so might get her more donations from those with moral rabies. That's fine -- let her accumulate donations that would otherwise go to other republicans.
