They hurt my feelings :( must file defamation lawsuit.

Just kidding, but here in the US you have harassment which is usually a criminal matter and then libel/slander. You can pretty much say whatever you want about a public figure like a politician ad long as it isn't threats, unless your AOC cause she thinks saying she has bad hair is a threat. One of the things a lot of people think from being naive is that if people are saying it online and not getting sued then it must me true, which is how some conspiracies spread.
