GOPUSA
— Ocasio-Cortez blames uptick in death threats on ‘right-wing media,’ feels safest at home in Bronx (DIERSEN: Are you a Trump supporter? How safe do you feel? In theory, Trump supporters should feel safer in precincts, in municipalities, in townships/wards, in counties, and in states the more voted that Trump got than Clinton got in 2016. In my precinct, a) Trump got only 137 votes in the 2016 general election while Clinton got 211 and b) Trump got only 21 votes in the 2016 Republican primary while Kasich got 93. Further, another indicator is how strongly those who represent you in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in your state support Trump.)
