George Santos Finds Inspiration in \u2064Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/h2>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-claims-to-have-reduced-national-debt-by-1-7-trillion-after-increasing-national-debt-by-4-trillion\/\" title=\"Biden says he cut national debt by .7T despite adding T.\">captivating interview<\/a> on CNN&#8217;s \u200dInside Politics with Manu Raju, Rep. George Santos (R-NY) opened\u200c up about his journey into politics and the \u200bunexpected source\u2064 of his inspiration &#8211; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).<\/p>\n<p>Santos acknowledged\u200b the skepticism surrounding\u2064 his\u200c relatively\u2064 short political career, admitting, &#8220;I was always somewhat disconnected \u200bfrom the GOP because \u200bI&#8217;ve only been doing politics for four years. I came out of nowhere.&#8221; \u2064However, he revealed that his decision to enter politics was\u200c fueled by the example set \u2062by Ocasio-Cortez.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I want to do this, AOC can do it.&#8217; AOC was my inspiration! Most people don&#8217;t know that,&#8221; Santos confessed. &#8220;You know, I felt like you needed to be a Kennedy, a\u2062 Bush, or a Clinton to be in politics. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is there, and I&#8217;m \u2063like, look \u2014 she&#8217;s a scrappy girl. She&#8217;s from where I&#8217;m from! \u2063I&#8217;m like, let&#8217;s do this. \u200dI think if she proved that everybody can do this. No matter right or left.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez, seizing the opportunity, used Santos&#8217;s past fabrications to call out Republican hypocrisy. After Republicans attempted to have Rep. \u2062Jamaal Bowman \u2063(D-NY) expelled\u200b for falsely pulling\u2063 a fire alarm, Ocasio-Cortez accused them of protecting someone who had lied to the \u200bAmerican people and to Congress.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They are protecting\u2063 someone who has lied to the American people, lied to the United States House of Representatives, lied to congressional investigators,&#8221; Ocasio-Cortez passionately expressed during an appearance on CNN&#8217;s State of the Union last\u2062 month.<\/p>\n<p>For more intriguing stories, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">The Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What is the \u2064significance of the \u200bterm &#8220;disillusionment&#8221; in the context of the poem, and \u2063how does it contribute \u200cto \u200cthe overall \u200dtheme of \u2063monotony and lack of excitement?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  The poem\u200c &#8220;Disillusionment of Ten O&#8217;Clock&#8221; by Wallace Stevens describes the \u200cmonotony and lack of imagination present in the lives of the \u200bpeople living in a neighborhood. The tenants in this neighborhood all wear white nightgowns and go to bed \u2063early, leading dull and uneventful lives.<\/p>\n<p>The poem begins with the speaker\u200c acknowledging that everyone in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/george-santos-calls-aoc-his-inspiration-to-get-into-politics\/\" title=\"George Santos credits AOC as his political inspiration.\">neighborhood wears white nightgowns<\/a>, which \u2063demonstrates their shared lack of creativity and individuality. The use \u2064of the word &#8220;white&#8221; emphasizes the plainness and conformity \u200bof their lives.<\/p>\n<p>The speaker\u200b then goes on to describe the &#8220;disillusionment&#8221; that\u200c comes at ten o&#8217;clock. This disillusionment refers to the realization that their lives lack\u2064 excitement, passion, \u200dand adventure. The speaker highlights this by contrasting the tenants with imaginative and vibrant things \u200clike sailors and Chinese silk.<\/p>\n<p>The people in the neighborhood are depicted\u200c as being trapped in a mundane routine of sleep and waking up at dawn without any dreams or desires. \u2063The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leaked-teacher-training-video-shows-how-cultish-critical-race-theory-is-being-pushed-on-virginia-teachers\/\" title=\"Leaked Teacher Training Video Shows How Cultish Critical Race Theory Is Being Pushed On Virginia Teachers\">speaker states<\/a> that they believe in the importance of having a \u200b&#8221;sheet&#8221;, or a record of their lives,\u2062 but without anything significant or interesting\u2063 to note, their sheets are empty and meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>In the final stanza, the speaker suggests that these tenants are unable to escape their dull existence because they lack imagination and the ability \u2063to dream. They have resigned \u2062themselves to an uninteresting and unfulfilling\u2064 way of\u2062 life.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, &#8220;Disillusionment of Ten O&#8217;Clock&#8221; is a critique of a society that values conformity and routine over imagination and individuality. It suggests \u200bthat a lack of creativity and passion leads to a life devoid of meaning and fulfillment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>he chose to enter politics, Santos credited Ocasio-Cortez as his motivation.
