Yesterday, some people got super upset that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reminded everyone that Ronald Reagan was a super racist asshole and once again attempted to attack her intelligence only to be sent packing by a woman of color who knows what the fuck she's talking about.
Ok great, now talk about Reagan and:— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 11, 2019
- Iran-Contra +
- The gutting of our mental health system +
- The explosion of homelessness under his watch +
- The crack epidemic
Maybe instead of insinuating I’ve never read a book, be open to the idea that we’ve read different ones. https://t.co/aP96oCCBwm
- HIV/AIDS crisis and demonization of LGBT+ community— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) March 11, 2019
- Union-busting
- Ending the Fairness Doctrine, which launched the polarized media environment we’re suffering from today
Why are we not supposed to talk about these things?
Some dude named Ryan tried to pull the same thing:
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggests former President Ronald Reagan was a racist and claims he "pitted white working-class Americans against brown and black working-class Americans to screw over all working-class Americans" pic.twitter.com/oxM2QPRgrB— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) March 9, 2019
But my favorite part is not people responding directly to Ryan, but the people responding to the incredibly boring ableist, racist, and misogynistic (not to mention embarrassing) "memes" about AOC by actually being funny.

I never get tired of right-wingers trying to be funny, failing miserably, and then getting dunked on by people who are way funnier than them.
