"We are about to enter a political period that will have consequences for the rest of our lives. We cannot give up," the 35-year-old congresswoman from New York said. "We now find ourselves in a time in history that has precedent… where there are mass movements of people that mobilized to protect one another in times of fascism and authoritarianism. And this is the era that we are poised to enter."
She alleged Trump already talked about turning the military on U.S. citizens that he deems are his domestic political enemies.
"Authoritarians and people that he affiliates closely with and strong men abroad in regimes like that, it is not uncommon to jail political dissidents or legislative opponents," she further said.

Elsewhere in the video, she urged people to "unite the working class against the 'fascist' agenda."
"We have had an enormous setback in this election because the fascist won a lot of working-class support, which has happened before in history," she said.
A part of the live stream was also shared by X handle @EndWokeness. One of the followers commented: "Listen closely. She's calling for 'mass mobilization' against Republicans. That's a military term, being used by a member of Congress. @SecretService this sounds like a serious threat against Trump."
Another one reacted to the post, saying "Maybe we will enter an era when this young woman matures to adulthood" while another said AOC might be taking it the reverse way: "We are EXITING fascism & authoritarianism. Thank you for helping us to escape it with your retarded statements @AOC." (Related: Trump's impressive political comeback against all odds makes headlines around the world.)
Meanwhile, at least 200 anti-Trump rallyists gathered outside the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago to protest the historic win, about the same time AOC was "whining" on social media. Most of those protesting were women, who were concerned about their reproductive rights, trans rights and gun laws.
According to a report on ZeroHedge, the protests appear to have been highly organized and well-planned before the election, given the coordination among activists, they were holding signs. It further reported that the protest routes were likely pre-approved from Chicago City Hall.
Per the report, organizers were shouting into megaphones, "Trump is a fascist and racist," echoing hate speech spewed by the defunct tandem of Harris and her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz in the months leading up to Nov. 5.

Trump to be firm on Day 1
Meanwhile, Trump denied the allegations that he is an authoritarian and fascist. In fact, he said he wouldn't be a dictator "except for Day 1" as he's got a lot to do on that first day in the White House.
As early as now when the transition is already being processed, the 47th POTUS is clear on starting up the mass deportation of migrants, rolling back President Joe Biden's policies on education, reshaping the federal government by firing potentially thousands and pardoning people who were arrested for their role in the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
"I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill," he said.
When asked as to how many executive orders will be crafted in the first week, Trump's National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Sunday: "There will be tens of them. I can assure you of that."
Trump also declared that "within two seconds" of assuming office, he would fire Jack Smith, the special counsel who has been prosecuting two federal cases against him. Smith charged Trump last year with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
According to the Associated Press, Trump cannot pardon himself in his New York state conviction in a hush-money case, but he could seek to leverage his status as president-elect to expunge his felony conviction and stave off a potential prison sentence. The election interference case in Georgia, AP reported, will likely be the only criminal case left standing and put on hold until at least 2029, at the end of his presidential term.
Trump also reiterated that he is inclined to pardon the more than 1,500 people who have been charged with their involvement in the "J6 Capitol attack" almost four years ago.
Trump launched his general election campaign in March positioning the "peaceful siege" as a cornerstone of his bid to return to the White House. He called the rioters "unbelievable patriots." As president, Trump can pardon anyone convicted in federal court, District of Columbia Superior Court or in a military court-martial.
"I am inclined to pardon many of them," Trump said on his social media platform. "I can't say for every single one, because a couple of them, probably got out of control."
