It explains AOC perfectly. AOC went for a ride in a hot air balloon. After an hour she suddenly realised she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, \u201cExcuse me, can you help me? I promised some supporters I would meet with them an hour ago, but I don\u2019t know where I am.\u201d The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, \u201cYou\u2019re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level.. Alexandria rolled her eyes and said, \u201cYou must be a republican. \u201cI am,\u201d replied the man. \u201cHow did you know?\u201d \u201cWell,\u201d answered AOC, \u201ceverything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I\u2019m still lost. Frankly, you\u2019ve not been much help to me.\u201d The man smiled and responded, \u201cYou must be our silly little girl AOC, the leftie Politician.\u201d \u201cI am,\u201d replied AOC. \u201cHow did you know?\u201d \u201cWell,\u201d said the man, \u201cyou don\u2019t know where you are \u2014 or where you are going. You\u2019ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made lots of promises you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You\u2019re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it\u2019s my fault!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sharing a comment I found on a post.
