Voters Who Backed Both Trump and AOC Share Their Bizarre Stories

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to Instagram to get a better understanding of perhaps the most confusing electoral coalition: the AOC-Trump voter. On Sunday night, the progressive congresswoman opened her story comments to her followers, asking: “People who support both Trump & me OR voted Trump/Dem, tell us why.”

The seemingly endless responses touched on the war in Gaza, status quo dissatisfaction, and general vibes. But they all boiled down to one common denominator: class struggle.

“It’s real simple … Trump and you care about the working class,” one comment said. “I feel like you are both outsiders compared to the rest of DC, and less ‘establishment,’” said another. “The responses you got make me want to barf,” said one more.

Others mentioned the genocide in Gaza, the economy, or the general need for “change.”
