Auditioning for the Part of Trump's Worst Adversary
By Rajan Laad
Shakespeare famously wrote, ‘All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; And one man in his time plays many parts’ in his celebrated play As You Like It.
The bard meant this as a metaphor for how people amend their manners based on their company. Little did Shakespeare know that his words would literally come true and elected officials would successfully deceive voters by becoming full-time performers.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is among the first to accomplish this. Someone in the Democrat party noticed her 'talents' and handed her a script, which she has followed till this day. She hasn't accomplished much during her tenure in Congress. But in this age, records and ability are irrelevant; it's the image, which in her case is carefully cultivated, that matters.
Sandy O's popularity emanated from social media where she virtue-signals, falsifies, and occasionally displays self-deprecating humor. There are copious theatrics before the camera. She mustered tears to convey pain while visiting the U.S.-Mexico border and pretended to be handcuffed during a protest. The goal is to project an image of a compassionate liberal with a heart of gold.
