    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) faced a handful of enraged constituents during a Friday night town hall in Queens.

    Some New Yorkers in attendance took issue with the congresswoman's soft stance on illegal immigration, raising the debt ceiling, and her support of seemingly endless U.S. funding for Ukraine. One man wearing a shirt with a Cuban flag on it and holding an American flag in his hand got up and walked toward the stage, shouting "American citizens before migrants!"

    "Where are you on the migrant issue? You're absent!" the man shouted as he was escorted out of the hall by security. Before being forced out of the room as most of the crowd booed him, the man got five more words in: "You're a piece of s***!"

    The second-term socialist Democrat laughed off the incident, but she received more pushback as the night went on.

    While discussing the ongoing debt-ceiling negotiations between the White House and Republican leadership, Ocasio-Cortez said, "We should eliminate the debt limit in the United States," a remark met by a mixture of cheers and boos. One man in the audience expressed his frustration with the congresswoman's comment by pointing out that she supports the U.S. sending billions of dollars to Ukraine.

    "$100 billion for Ukraine that you voted for!" he said. The man was met with shouts from someone else in the crowd who told him it wasn't his turn to speak.

    Another person at the town hall held signs that read: "America First: Vetted & Legal Migrants Only" and "Stop Funding Ukraine." Others displayed signs saying, "AOC Stop Crying" and "AOC An Obvious Criminal."

    Ocasio-Cortez has faced angry people who have questioned her support of funding Ukraine in the past. In October, two people attending her town hall confronted her and accused her of supporting nuclear war.

    "Why are you playing with the lives of American citizens?" he pressed. "You're playing with our lives!"

    "You voted to mobilize and send money to Ukrainian Nazis," Jose Vega yelled. "You're a coward!"

Considering the current overwhelming obstacles inflicting stress upon America's working class: rampant inflation; energy insecurity; supply chain turmoil; banking failures; foreign policy disasters; government corruption; (DEI) Diversity Equity Inclusion narrative, with WOKE extremes practiced; Climate Change ideology; intractable crime wave in Leftist cities; wide open border by executive design; a permanently discredited Legacy Media; failed or failing education industry, just to name a few of the many: Who should Americans blame?

  Donald J. Trump

  Joseph R. Biden

  Leftist controlled Congress for the last 4 years.

  Bloated, incompetent bureaucracy weaponized and poorly managed

  The electorate, US, for putting these fools in elected office that utterly fail

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
