AOC going after Rubio?  That'll win some people over.  *****rollingeyes*****
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The irony is delicious. AOC, who loves to lecture everyone on history and “stolen land,” apparently doesn’t know basic facts about the Americas. Spain did, in fact, introduce horses to Mexico (and the rest of the Americas) in the 16th century.

The vaquero (cowboy) tradition — the foundation of American cowboy culture — originated from Spanish horsemanship, cattle ranching techniques, and language that spread from Mexico northward. Terms like “lariat,” “rodeo,” “chaps,” and “buckaroo” all come from Spanish roots.
