Alysa Liu Is a Spunky, Gen Z National Treasure and a Force of American Athleticism

Following American figure skater Alysa Liu’s gold medal win at the Olympics, many have called her patriotic story of enduring Chinese communist intimidation to represent Team USA and trounce the competition nothing short of inspiring. Democrats on X, however, are telling Republicans that it’s not their victory lap to take, as Liu is likely a typical woke Gen Z girl.

In response to a video of Liu putting her hand over her heart for the national anthem that included the caption, “In a world full of Colin Kaepernicks, be an Alysa Liu,” a progressive user replied: “Do you people not know she’s woke.”
