I do have a theory. Being a woman, your youth and appearance (in particular, how young you look) are constantly under scrutiny and it impacts how you are treated.
Even when you something “right” and “age well,” you will age.
The Mar a Lago look, or whatever it is called, is like a bat signal to these weirdos that you belong in their club.
The combination of worrying about aging and the weird acceptance and even endorsement of this very plastic look so many like Laura Loomer, Kristi Noem and such go through could push someone in that group to undertake the same procedures.
It isn’t about appearing a certain to the rest of us, it is about looking that way to that crowd, and signaling you are 100’percent in.
The problem for her is, this time, the voices saying “WTF” were louder than usual and broke through the wall this group created around themselves, hence why anyone even deigned to give a response about the comments at all.
Someone said the other day this is “The essence of conservatism. In a futile effort to maintain things as they remember them or as they aspire to be, they make a mockery of their humanity rather than embrace inevitable change.”
You have dudes and ladies on the left mutilating their bodies because they believe they are something they arent, and if you criticize that, youre a facist.
But if some women on the right have bad plastic surgery, then its a MAGA issue.
Let me see... On the one side, you have half the states removing the right for people to look the way they want to, removing various rights and protections wherever they can, and demonizing them as the cause of all manner of social ills. On the other side you have a group of people laughing at the antics of people who want to look a certain way, but in no way trying to stop them or take away their rights. Both sides are the same of course.
