Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quotes Rorschach!
https://pjmedia.com/trending/aoc-quotes-watchmen-nerds-rejoice/
If you don't get the reference, AOC (or one of her unfortunate staffers) is quoting the 1985 graphic novel comic book Watchmen. In one memorable scene, a masked vigilante and paranoid right-wing lunatic named Walter Kovacs, AKA Rorschach, has been arrested and imprisoned after being framed for murder. One day a fellow prisoner tries to shiv Kovacs in the cafeteria, and... well, just watch this scene from the movie adaptation.
Now, I'm both a huge nerd and a paranoid right-wing lunatic, so I thought this was pretty funny. A self-described socialist like AOC quoting... Rorschach, the original MAGA-head! The comics character had all the negative attributes that AOC's fans believe about Trump voters. He hated liberals and communists and immigrants and gays. And oh my goodness, did he ever hate women. He was also obsessed with a fictional right-wing tabloid called the New Frontiersman, which ran racist, anti-Semitic political cartoons like this one, defending masked vigilantes running around beating people up because the cops weren't doing their jobs: [image]

To quote Alan Moore: “None of you understand. I'm not locked up in here with YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.” 🤣
