The only thing people love more than democratic representation is authoritarianism against the other team.https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1071115755041800192 …

A subpoena, which she can’t even issue as an individual, is authoritarian?
This is a statement about the supporters, not the politician. Most supporters have no idea how subpoenas work. Cheering on a politician for suggesting a subpoena because the politician didn’t like what the person had to say = cheering on authoritarianism.pic.twitter.com/MSoIE8mmjS

Also, yes - the tweet has an authoritarian, but not autocratic, subtext.

While the behavior you describe is certainly prelavent these days, it takes a pretty little-L liberal interpretation of that tweet to read it that way

I mean this sincerely - what is the other way to read the tweet? It seems like a pretty clear statement: it is unwise to troll someone who has subpoena power over you.pic.twitter.com/SUocdK9CV2
