'Feeling uncomfortable now?' In light of Capitol violence, people are revisiting AOC's take on 'the whole point of protesting'

Given the violence unfolding at the U.S. Capitol today, people are revisiting this December 2020 tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable… that’s the point.

Well, we’d say people are uncomfortable today. Some of them even physically so.

Preach, sister!

So, can we expect a tweet from AOC paying tribute to the protesters making people uncomfortable today?
