Putting aside all politics, Trump was (ironically) elected as an "outsider." He was elected by mostly white working class people who feel that the world is treating them unfairly but also, famously, to "DRAIN THE SWAMP."
AOC was elected by a very similar constituency, its just that many of them view GOVERNMENT and uber-wealthy people like Trump as part of the problem. In any event, she also was elected to DRAIN THE SWAMP
If you do nothing else, read this article by Lynn Parramore. To be fair, most of the Trumpettes will consider her a "lib," but just pay attention to the data and ignore the title (lol).
Here's a quick bit in the article on the swamp, as described by Parramore:
"Georgia State University professor Alan Ziobrowski led one of the first systematic studies of how politicians perform as stock market investors back in 2004. Poring over thousands of transactions during the boom years 1993 to 1998, his team found something shocking: Over and over, U.S. senators demonstrated uncanny timing on when to buy and sell their stocks. In fact, they regularly beat the market by breathtaking margins — that is to say, enjoyed returns exceeding the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 index."
During the period reviewed, high-flying Wall Street financiers only beat the market by five percentage points. By some miracle, however, Ziobrowski found that senators managed to outperform it by a whopping 12 percentage points annually. Not even Warren Buffett pulls that off. Ordinary folks had quite a different outcome over those same years: They underperformed the market by 1.4 percentage points."
Parramore brings the stuff forward in time to the current day. Definitely worth the read
Although you Trumpettes will hate this, it looks like AOC is the one ACTUALLY threatening to drain the swamp
