Ignoring it just means that there's no counter-narrative hitting people, and it skews the perception of balance

I absolutely fucking hate it that it has to be like this, but there it is. Imagine being a lightning rod for all that weaponized ignorance and mental illness. It's an unpleasant, stinky task, but if somebody's gotta do it, I'm glad people of character and caliber like AOC are out there doing it.
