Just checked out a RW site (so y'all don't have to) and the comments on her call for impeachment include "she should be lobotomized" "she ought to be put in a mental asylum," and, one I favor because of its implicit ignorance "has she even read the American constitution?" -- with an odd emphasis on "American" -- as if the RW has a secret "American" constitution that permits the lobotomizing and institutionalizing of non-Republicans. Ya see? All very cogent, thoughtful and well informed responses! The poor things are panicking so publicly it's almost painful to see.
Republican legislators have already issued warnings to stay away from this intelligent woman with the fiery wit, with the idiot from KY -- who invited her to speak to coal miners in his district even though his district has no coal mines - prompting another fascist-manquee gopper to warn that "we must avoid debating this issue [of coal vs the green new deal] with her and, instead, debate only people we can handle." (Find me a dumb democrat to debate!)
The view among Republicans -- especially gratis AOC -- is "Dems be smart, we be not-smart. Dems know stuff and stuff ain't on our side."
If only we could depend on the intelligence of the electorate to vote its self-interests, the GOP would be such a teeny-tiny party that even the Flat Earthers would have more gravitas and followers, and the Dems would rule the land.
(Admittedly, the Dems' ruling would come with its own set of caveats, but the vote wouldn't be restricted, immigrants wouldn't be caged, the climate would stand a chance of repair, and the opioid crisis would be solved not by jailing addicts but, rather, the billionaires (like the Sackler family) who have gotten fat and rich by creating those addicts.)
