Being more willing to do a thing if you think you can get away with it is common to all people according to gold standard studies on the subject. No one really admits this to themselves though --people are utterly terrible judges of what they are capable of, see the milgram experiment and others like it.

Milgram isn't actually as solid as people think nowadays. There's been a ton of reappraisal of it in the 40 years since it was first performed. A number of methodological issues with how the original was performed have been identified - Gina Perry's done a lot of research into some of the issues, including some participants that were actually informed it was a hoax - and upon re-examination there's been questions by later researchers on if the conclusions the original study came to were even actually supported by the data that was collected.

And this is leaving aside the demographics issue. For the most part, all replications of Milgram have been performed in populations of largely-European descent. There's only been one replication performed outside that population, Shanab and Yahya (1978) at the University of Jordan in Amman, and that replication came back with entirely different results. This suggests that if anything, it's likely to be a cultural effect more than a human universal.

I mean, it wasn't an out and out near-fraud the way Stanford Prison Experiment was, but Milgram doesn't have near the reliability folks give it credit for.

It's a thing other places too. Not everyone has plumbing designed to handle American-sized shits and paper. I remember hearing about this for the Sochi Olympics too, the plumbing can't handle the paper.

It's just another dogwhistle for racists, basically.

So? She’s a liar and a phony. Big deal, she’s a democrat. Not exactly breaking news. She won because she’s hispanic, more specifically because she’s NOT white. Where she grew up, where she went to college or how much money her family has means nothing to the people in that district. She’s a latina. Enough.

“...But Democrats of the socialist stripe have always propounded the myth that the woikin’ class just adores socialism as the antidote to the awfulness of America and all its opportunity. It’s a line that has never panned out election-wise, and now Ocasio shows that she was shooting for it. Actually, it’s the Westchesterites, unafraid of anything bad happening from socialism, and completely clueless with the experience of being left powerless by the state, who think socialism is just dandy...”
Bears repeating.

People like her never think they will suffer like everyone else under a socialist yoke. They all think they will be in the ruling class, the Party, that will get to go to special stores and have special privileges, a dacha in the woods or on a beach.

How I despise those people.

I agree. It is wishful thinking. She will be elected in the general election.

She has the right race. She has the right genitalia. She has reasonably attractive female appearance. She is willing to offer anything to anyone to get elected by people who are ready and willing to be lied to and accept the lies as truth. (They are called leftists)

And she will.
