Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is encouraging her supporters to prepare a resistance against President-elect Donald J. Trump after he retook the White House in the 2024 election. In a video posted to social media after the November 5 election, Ocasio-Cortez claims Trump and his allies are an authoritarian threat and alludes to the armed resistance movements against Europe's fascist governments prior to and during World War II. She believes that we are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives and that we cannot give up.
Ocasio-Cortez is encouraging violent left-wing groups like Antifa and others to arm themselves and form militias, mirroring the actions of the French Resistance and Italian anti-fascist groups who were justified in violently opposing the German and Italian fascist regimes. Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, have compared Trump and his supporters to fascists and Nazis over the course of the 2024 campaign.
Prior to and during Donald Trump's first term in office from 2017 to 2021, Democrats like Ocasio-Cortez would often make dramatic and unfounded accusations against the Republican president, claiming he was trying to become a dictator or would jail political enemies. However, these actions never occurred or were even considered. Ocasio-Cortez's recent comments could be considered to cross a dangerous political line by endorsing potentially violent actions against the legitimately elected government.
