I knew a teacher who would have English students read Trump speeches in class just to see if they could find complete sentences.

In posts like this, I'll always point people towards "How the liberal media helped fascism win" by Behind the Bastards podcast. It's a fantastic 2 part episode that explains exactly what's happening again today in the 2020s.
Yeah. The article is unfair as it holds AOC to a set of standards much, much higher than any politician in the last 20 years.
I mean she is a woman, and they have to be perfect.
They are threatened by her.
Let them feel threatened. They should. She's unbought and unbossed.
Especially because this is a touchy policy issue on which the US is deliberately vague. The US intentionally avoids answering questions on the topic of military intervention in Taiwan to keep China guessing as to what its response would be to an attack. No one would've been able to give a satisfying answer.
It was a striking moment from a self-assured legislator who is normally nimble at answering impromptu questions from reporters on Capitol Hill, and conservative critics seized on the stumble online.
Literally the next line in the article. But let’s just shit on mainstream media! Surely there’s a conspiracy here and they are lying to us!!!1
Edit: or should we got with the first sentence of the following paragraph?
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez was quicker to respond to questions about other foreign policy matters
Or 2 paragraphs later, the silly lamestream media attacks the left again!
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez sounded strongest when drawing a direct contrast with Mr. Trump’s vision of the world.
Is this an incredible article? Not really. Is it crazy biased? Also not really
