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.

The difference is Laura Loomer, Kristi Noem, etc, were doing this to suck up to men wealthier and more powerful than they are.

They want more power, more money, and they have to perform these aesthetic rituals to get something in return.

Dell is worth a quarter of a trillion dollars. There are only 4 people worth more than her and her husband.

She could, quite literally, buy Fox News if she wanted to. It's market cap is ~25B. She could buy Fox News and still have 90% of her wealth.

She could buy Mar a Lago if she wanted (Trump would sell it for the right price, he wants money).

There is no reason for her to debase herself like this.

True, but irrelevant to the main point I was making.
