You know, I never saw her as stupid. She does annoy me, but for other reasons. Like she hasn't made the transition from activist to member of the U.S. Congress. That I believe leads to her emotional appeals over facts. Her Green New Deal is evidence of that. She's pushing way too far way to fast, but she's young yet.
No, her socialism in and of itself never bothered me. But, and this is key, I do not trust my government. Not one bit. Not to keep me safe, not to keep me educated, not to keep me healthy, not to stop crime, nothing. I don't think it's tin foil hat malevolence as much as it is incompetence and bureaucratic inertia. I think given the choice between the right thing and the wrong thing, they'll do nothing for 30 years then find some other third thing. That is not who I would willingly cede more responsibility to than absolutely freaking necessary.
