If you feel like you’re being crushed by the unbearable weight of the chaotic news cycle and all you want to do is curl into a little ball and fall into a four-year coma, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) wants you to know that it’s by design. On Tuesday, the New York lawmaker took to Instagram Live for a roughly 90-minute chat about the current state of the United States government, and how everyday people who disagree with President Donald Trump’s administration can fight back in “tangible” ways. “I want you all to understand that if you are watching the news right now and you are feeling overwhelmed by all of the constant headlines and developments and what is happening,” Ocasio-Cortez said at the beginning of her Instagram Live. “First of all, know that you are not alone. And second of all, know that that is exactly what this administration is trying to get you to feel.” She continued, “What authoritarian regimes try to do is that they often try to, what is known as ‘flood the zone.’”

Ocasio-Cortez defined “flood the zone” as when a government does “so much at once … that you feel overwhelmed and paralyzed.” “It’s important for you to understand that the paralysis and shock that you feel right now is the point,” she continued. “They are trying to induce a state of passivity among the general public.” Later on in her video, she emphasized that burying one’s head in the sand at this moment isn’t exactly the best tactic. “We need to try,” she said. “I don’t want to hear, ‘Oh, we can’t do that. That’s impossible.’ That’s called consenting in advance. So, when your mind says, ‘It’s all over, we might as well’ — no, no, no. … Do not be discouraged by temporary defeats. We keep going anyway. When we are relentless, they will fatigue. They can only hold this up for so long.”

AOC went on Instagram Live to talk about the “flood the zone” strategy designed to weaken resistance to authoritarian rule.

For real.. idk what the tiktok equivalent would be, but man do I hate Instagram. It's fucking dead. It doesn't matter what time of day, with how many or what hashtags you post. If you make carousels or reels or just post single pics or stories or whatever. There's ZERO engagement. It's impossible for new people to find your art, even when you post EVERY. GOD. DAMN. DAY. It barely even shows your stuff on the timelines of people you are and have been mutuals with for years. It's all ads and AI and it just keeps suggesting you pay so you can promote your content to a bigger audience. Fucking hate it. Hate Instagram. Ugh.

And it sadly doesn't help that Trump even admitted to cheating the election with Elon helping him get more votes. I hate this fucking country.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.
