“The paralysis and shock that you feel right now is the point,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) said before calling out the tactic.

Summary

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned that the Trump is deliberately overwhelming the public with chaotic news to induce passivity.

Citing Steve Bannon’s “flood the zone” strategy and historian Michiko Kakutani’s comparison of Trump to Mussolini and Hitler, she argued that Trump uses the internet to spread disinformation, much like past dictators used film and radio.

Urging people to stay engaged, she emphasized that collective resistance can slow harmful policies and that small acts of opposition make a difference.

    I spent his first 4 years hyper tuned in and stressing, and I called 0 Senators, wrote 0 letters, made 0 impact. THAT is the wrong call.

    Either stop paying attention or take the time to actually contribute to the political process. Call your local political party and ask what you can do.
