Conservatives boycott Girl Scouts over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Raw Story reported that Conservative columnist Jane Chastain called for a boycott of Girl Scouts because Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used to be a Girl Scout. She also complained that they've stopped promoting God and country and started teaching self-confidence (lol). 72% of female senators were once Girl Scouts, along with 60% of women in the 116th congress. What makes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a target is because she identifies as a Democratic socialist (despite the fact that her policies lean more towards social democracy) and conservatives are afraid of the word socialism. It's the boogie man that keeps them up at night.

Now here's something I have to say to any conservatives reading this that made it past the first paragraph: I'm actually with you on this. No, seriously, I definitely support boycotting Girl Scouts. This isn't a "BAZINGA!!". This will not be followed by "HA HA JUST FUCKING WITH YOU!!". I think your reasons for boycotting Girl Scouts are hilariously dumb, but there is a legit reason to boycott Girl Scouts. They're business partners with Raytheon, one of the biggest war profiteers in the US. They spend $4,590,000 lobbying to keep us at war with 8 or so countries. They're selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, who's using them to wipe Yemen off the map, so FUCK YEAH, let's boycott them.
