What is she not doing about it that she should be?
From my perspective, she's one of the few politicians acting appropriately
This is the time you decide whether the Civil War was just about about keeping the country united to maintain its power or whether it was about ending slavery (which it didn't, but that's another point). It's clear that keeping the country together only helped maintain US power and influence internationally, because the assholes who rebelled to protect slavery have kept their agenda and are clearly in power now. It does not bode well when only the abuser is willing to stand up for themselves and their narcissism while the victim still thinks that if they are nice enough they will get anyone to see the error of their ways. Are democrats just willing to tolerate abuse? Is there nothing they would secede from, even a tyrant?
Right now, some GOP members are playing a charade of fighting the administration on side issues like Ukraine. Make no mistake, they are still complicit with a Trump admin, and midterms will be a charade as well.

It’s funny how conservatives say they like trump because he says what’s on his mind, and doesn’t hold back. But when AOC posts stuff like this, they freak out and call her mean
No no, they like Trump because he says what is on their mind.
That's what happens when you take a conservative at face value. The reality is they freak out because she's a woman and a "socialist" (at least in their minds). It has nothing to do with what they're actually saying. It's what they represent in the power hierarchy. A lot of conservatives can't handle being below a woman.
I say this a lot but the conservative worldview really boils down to "my group is good and yours is bad". That's it. Thus when a conservative does something, it's cool, because they're good. When someone else does the same thing, it's bad because they are bad.
You can't argue with this. It's like if you're making a math proof and someone tells you it's wrong because you're wearing a green shirt. The color of your shirt has nothing to do with this geometry. The hypocrisy has nothing to do with their value system.
I knew we were cooked when conservatives stopped being willing to talk policy and always default back to politicians.
what's happening now is what happens after years and years of "we need to acknowledge/respect their viewpoint" and "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" and other various "stop being mean to the nazis" shit
as evidenced by the reactions to couchfucker and taco etc, the only thing that does anything (however little) with bigoted fascist narcissists is shaming them with mockery and ridicule. too late now though. they will be murdering protesters soon. in the name of "protecting" them, or "freedom" or some other absolute bullshit
and “you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”
Liberals need to ask why the fuck their leaders are so keen on catching fascist flies, but so nakedly hostile to LGBTQ / Muslim / College Debtor / Migrant Laborer / M4A voters.

The law means nothing at this point
Yep, it's now pure power. Power dictates what happens and what doesn't.
Always has been.
True, but there was a layer of law below it. So there was at least some documented consistent process for which power was used for the most part. Now it's pretty much anything goes.
What is this in response to?
Trump gave a speech at Fort Bragg (renamed back to Bragg after a WWII paratrooper with the same last name as the original namesake, a confederate general). He complained about people flying flags for other countries. He also said that we have contempt for the flag, that anyone who burns one should go to jail for a year
Meanwhile flag code says that a flag which touches the ground should be burned and they proudly fly confederate and nazi flags
Flag code aside, people who deify the American flag over the rights and welfare of human beings should spend a year in jail.
Flags are just things. Burn ‘em, wave ‘em, tattoo them on your buttcheek. I don’t care. It’s not more important than the human beings being treated like garbage.
