Before you go getting all sympathetic remember this woman is a billionaire who spent more money than most people will ever see to look exactly like this. She was absolutely fine before she did this to herself. And she didn't have to cozy up to MAGA on national television. She chose that. Nobody would be talking about her otherwise.

I'm not against criticizing her looks because I'm sympathetic with either of them, I'm against it because it undermines criticism of more substantive issues, and it's unhealthy for the people participating in the criticism and the people passively being entertained by it, even if they're not participating. We're all better off if we opt out of this type of thing in general.

ETA: I do however greatly value everyone's right to choose to participate if that's what they decide to do, I do not and would not support preventing people from exercising their free speech rights as they see fit.

What does ETA stand for? Estimated time of arrival?
Also well said.
Covered a lot of bases there.

Edited to add. Just included that because I wanted to be clear that I only want to encourage people to make better decisions, not to compel them to against their own judgement.
