There was a recent ad by a right-wing politician comparing AOC to the Khmer Rouge.

I mean if Republicans think the USA is going down that route, led by AOC and are unable to stop it, isnt deportation the humanitarian act? Make it so they dont have to live through it twice?

Yes, but what does Donald Trump deporting people who once fled the Khmer Rouge have to do with the accuracy of that ad?

It is simply pointing out the irony.

I don't think there is much irony, tbh. Is it saying that if the comparison is right, then the people being deported should be happy because they get to avoid Ocasio Cortez who is like the Khmer Rouge? It would be much more ironic if the ad said Donald Trump was like the Khmer Rouge, and meanwhile he is deporting people who once fled the real Khmer Rouge. Or if Ocasio Cortez was the one doing the deporting. But neither of those would happen.

The comparison is clearly not right at all. Comparing AOCs politics, which would be considered center-left in many Western countries, to a genocidal totalitarian regime that killed as many as 2 million people is completely asinine. So the fact that Heng says this while supporting Trump who is deporting Cambodians does actually produce quite a bit of irony here.

Damn the trolls really coming hard on this

Its totally normal for Republicans to use the Khmer Rogue as an attack on AOC! Theyre just deporting people who fled from the Khmer Rogue so they dont have to live under AOC!

Do you realize how fucking stupid you sound?


Try learning how to read critically, it can really be helpful sometimes.

I'm guessing the ad is saying Ocasio Cortez is communist and the Khmer Rouge is the worst case scenario of communism. It's right wing mudslinging.

If the ad is talking to Cambodian-Americans re: which party is better for them then I understand the irony, but otherwise I don't.

This same woman has run campaign ads for herself based around her family escaping the Khmer Rouge, so...kinda?
