    Inappropriate assessment. I fear for everyone’s safety. Constitutional freedoms and the rule of law protected everyone. Removing them is a double edged sword that puts everyone at risk.

      This is as stupid as saying “all lives matter” after seeing a BLM sign.

      Obviously everyone’s safety is at risk right now, and in the near future. The og comment wasn’t saying “screw everyone else, save her!” They were simply wishing for the safety of one of the most outspoken, and therefore vulnerable people actually making a difference in this situation.

          You’re not wrong, but the person responding to you us correct. Both things can be true, but attempting to divert the message waters it down. We’re all in danger and have a fascist MAGA problem. However, AOC is 100% in more danger than the average person in the US. There is no reality where I would be in more danger than AOC is unless in some other reality we swapped places.

          She is openly and vocally speaking out with a position of power and influence.

      Inappropriate assessment

      Good point… I was under the impression that I was only allowed to fear for one person’s safety at a time 🙄
