I love her gumption, but I really fear she’s underestimating her opposition. They’ve already shown they care nothing about the rule of law, so counting on that to “protect” you is a losing bet in the long term.

No.

She understands the risks, and she’s willing to die and be a martyr if that’s what’s necessary.

We shouldn’t be talking like this regardless. Don’t normalize any ideas they might have. If you make what’s next expected, they’re more likely to do it and more likely to get away with it.

I think the point is to expect blood to be spilled, and to prepare for when that happens. That means giving AOC bodyguards, access to a friendly National Guard, food testers, ect. Trump will try to kill her, we should use all measures to safeguard AOC’s life. Acknowledging the reality of her possible death is the first step to preventing that.

Acknowledging the reality

Doesn’t need to be done on public social media.
