Conservative Men Are Obsessed With Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Science Tells Us Why.

[Zorro]

Conservatives’ bizarre, escalating obsession with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) reached a new level this week when The Daily Caller published fake revenge porn of the new congresswoman.

“Here’s The Photo Some People Described As A Nude Selfie Of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,” the Caller’s original headline read, before it was changed and the site posted a “we regret the error” message on Twitter. For the record, the photo is not of Ocasio-Cortez, despite what “some people” have said.

Since Ocasio-Cortez, a 29-year-old working-class democratic socialist, unexpectedly toppled powerful white male incumbent Joe Crowley in a June primary, she’s become an object of fixation among Republicans, especially Republican men. Conservative writer Ed Scarry posted a photo of her backside on Twitter, questioning whether her black suit was befitting of a “girl who struggles.” Right-wing media discovered that she ― like a lot of people named “Alexander,” “Alexandra” or some variant thereof ― went by the nickname “Sandy” in high school. A self-proclaimed “proud Christian Dad” on Twitter circulated a video of her dancing in a T-shirt in college as if it would be a career-damaging revelation. A Republican strategist referred to her as “the little girl” on Fox News, which runs segments about her constantly.

The obvious explanation is that men have literally never seen a woman in her 20s in the halls of Congress before. She’s attractive, telegenic and good at social media. She dances outside her Cannon House office. Conservative men are confused at being drawn to this bright rising star in the Democratic Party while loathing everything she stands for.

2. 2018 was the year of women and minorities.

Republicans of all stripes have no idea how to deal with either one no matter who they are. This is reminding them in color, that they are losing control of their white male privilege.

3. every day 24/7 AOC is headlines on talk radio. They spend at least 20 minutes on her

everyday just like they did with Sanders. Today they spent about 5 minutes on Sanders associating AOC being friend of Sanders.
A little like DU at times!

5. "The men doth protest too much, methinks"

Are they secretly hot for her and can't admit it or are they closet incels?

6. Not either /or; they are both.

7. You are correct.

8. A woman they'd want that won't give them "respect".
