Note: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez graduated Cum Laude from Boston University. 

[freelancer-stormscorpion]

Wasn’t she working as a bar tender before she got elected?

Folks on the right always seem very concerned that AOC was a bartender. They ignore her prestigious education and the fact that she graduated with distinction. They ignore that she has relevant degrees. And they ignore that she worked for the nonprofit National Hispanic Institute gaining relevant experience in activism.

I’ve also noticed that conservatives constantly complain about “elites.” They propped up “Joe Six Pack” because they felt too many lawmakers were out of touch and they wanted people who understood the common folk. Blue collar workers are the heart and soul of America, right? 

Did you know that nearly half of congress is filled with lawyers? And the rest are mostly businessmen. What do lawyers know about my life? What do lawyers know about struggling to pay bills? What do lawyers know about what it’s like to hold a low wage job? How are they supposed to represent me and my needs?

Do you know why AOC worked as a bartender? Her father died and her mother’s jobs as a house cleaner and bus driver were not enough to fight foreclosure. So Alexandria put her career ambitions on hold and got a job as a bartender to help her mom. Conservatives are all about “family values” right? AOC valued her family so much that she worked a grueling job out of love for her mom. 

And you want to trivialize that?  

AOC knows my struggle more than Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump. I have confidence that AOC will represent me and my family’s needs more so than any lawyer or businessman who is just looking to enrich themselves. 

Maybe we need a few more bartenders and a few less lawyers.

Republicans: “Work hard and get a better job, snowflake” AOC: *works hard and gets a better job* Republicans: “N-No, not like that”

It gets more and more wild:

Big Nose George was killed by mob violence, despite already being sentenced by the court to hang to death for murdering 2 lawmen

The physician who performed the autopsy decided for some ungodly reason to have Big Nose George’s skin made into a pair of shoes. what doctor does this??? 

the doctor later gets elected governor. Guess which shoes he wears to his inauguration ceremony?

not to be outdone, his 15 year old assistant, Lillian Heath, keeps the top part of George’s skull. She keeps it all her life & uses it as an ash tray, a pen holder, and a doorstop. She goes on to become the first doctor in the state. 

what the fuck was going on in the wyoming medical field

here’s a closeup of the shoes, which are now on display in the county museum

what the fuck wyoming
