AOC Laughs Off the ‘Woke 1’ Era. The Damage Was No Joke.

Peak woke revealed a totalitarian mindset in America that raged out of control for a few years, until unpopularity, a little courage from the minority who stood against it, and the election of President Donald Trump in 2024 turned the tide against it.

But leftists—especially ones running for office—are determined to rewrite history (they’re used to doing that) to gaslight the American people into believing that its excesses were merely rhetoric and that they are totally more reasonable now.

A prime example of that is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who appeared on ABC News’s “This Week” on Sunday to talk about, among other things, the rise of socialists in American politics.

If it wasn’t clear already, Ocasio-Cortez seems to be setting the table for a presidential run in 2028 or beyond. On that White House question, she chose to remain predictably noncommittal, saying, “I haven’t ruled out the possibility.”

So, unfortunately, we are likely to hear a lot more from her in the coming years, especially considering the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Ocasio-Cortez was asked about socialist politicians, like Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong, who’ve endorsed things like defunding the police, among other crackpot ideas that were widely popular among Democrats just a few years ago.
