Highest paid star usually must have the first name on the poster reading left to right

I have an oddball theory on AOC, if you guys don't mind. I've been thinking about this for a few weeks now but I don't got anyone to discuss it with in real life.

My basic idea is that she was running her primary with her unusual platforms, including abolish ice

2 week of June 2018 there is almost 0 immingation talk in all media

It is all about the North Korea summit and ongoing FBI stuff

3 week of June EVERYONE goes super hard immigration like it is an emergent crisis

Look at that

Compare to that

Before June 12, reason.com is result #3

The #2 before result has quotes from AOC in it when she is an unknown

So it's like nobody even knew she existed, but they were all running campaign ads for her oddball platform on primetime CNN for the 2 weeks before her primary

She got real lucky timing?

Well, it was a high ranking democrat she was running against

He had full support of his party and he never really campaigned or cared. I believe there were no debates and there was no national coverage of that race as if it was important

He got completely fucking rolled, of course

Look at that first result!

These were the weeks with the massive immigration crisis coverage and the magazine cover with the crying girl. There is no "AOC surges in popularity and is a real condender" headline

The phrase "Abolish ICE" won the primary

I mean, that's a really important thing to consider somewhere like Orange County, CA

But this is democrat on democrat crime

And the guy with the establishment connections that could actually potentially fund some vote harvesting is the guy who lost

I totally agree. My hot take here is the idea that without the hot media attention on immigration, we would have never heard of her

The "real" story is likely that it was a publicity stunt/hoax and the 2 guys he staged it with were his less sucessful actor friends

It is looking more likely that it is as time goes on

There's a pretty direct effort to not accurately census people in the US

We don't want to know how many illegals we have!

Joe Rogan mentioned that Genghis Khan thing on a recent episode

1000s of years from now, we could say the same thing about Hitler or Stalin or someone more modern

All those great wars within dynasty-era China probably did a lot of good as well

Could you imagine the amount of plastic being released into the ocean today if China didn't decide to destory 1/8th of the world's population 4-5 times during its history?
