In the early 20th century, Americans lived in fear of the polio virus, which infected tens of thousands of Americans and paralyzed a future president.
The vaccine nearly eliminated the disease within a decade of its release. It would be crazy to undo that progress.

A lot of AOCs appeal is simply the contrast of wondering why she (rightfully) gets pissed off about stuff but hardly any other elected official in the party does
"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

I just don't understand this obsession these rednecks have with where people go to the toilet.
Nearly all of us would have grown up in households with gender neutral bathrooms. Unless your weirdo parents had separate gender bathrooms.
The only logical explanation is to induce fear. That's it.
