      This right here. They don’t care about hypocrisy.

      Hypocrisy is them expressing their power over us. They are showing us that they can do whatever the fuck they want and that we can’t. They revel in hypocrisy.

      People need to fucking get it through their thick skulls that calling them out on their hypocrisy only makes them stronger because it helps show that they can get away with it and we can’t. Their hypocrisy is the wrong thing to focus on because it brings their execution of their power into stark relief.

      We have to make them look small, not continue to show the world that they keep getting away with it.

      Honestly with how stupid the world is right now, this might actually make some of the more gullible idiots change their minds. Because they probably have a one track mind of “china = bad”

      • But even if it does, so what? A few of the idiots are temporarily pulled away from Trump, he’s still in power and before long they’ll go back. Meanwhile scoring a petty dunk like this on them that they then ignore anyway just emboldens the rest of the followers because of how cool it is that Trump and Co are just ignoring it, and they get to insist that all us snowflakes are triggered again because who cares about reality when you can just make it all up? It didn’t accomplish anything last time and it will accomplish less this time

    Who fucking cares?

    I’m so sick of this performative bullshit. None of these Nazi fucks care if you call out their dress or their stupid group chats, or actually anything. They don’t care, because they’re currently kidnapping dissidents and sending them to a death camp where we CANNOT VERIFY IF THEY ARE STILL ALIVE.

    Anyone who is more mad about a stupid dress than ICE being turned into masked Gestapo can frankly get fucked. The priorities in America are completely fucking backwards, it’s like you’re hoping if you just embarass the fascists enough, they’ll leave. Newsflash, they have no shame, they want to kill you.

    Leavitt, said to have been speaking at a recent White House briefing, was identified in a red dress with black lace trimmings that reportedly came from UK brand Self-Portrait, designed by Malaysian Chinese fashion designer Han Chong and manufactured in China.

    The claim first appeared in a tweet by Zhang Zhisheng, China’s consul-general in Denpasar, Indonesia - and backlash that followed was swift.

      Seinfeld was probably panicking because he thought Norm was going to bring up the time he “dated” a 16 year old girl when he was 35.

    To be fair, the dress was recognized by a Chinese factory employee. That means the design was probably stolen from somewhere and made for cheap in China. Could have been made somewhere else, but probably not.

    As much as I get the idea behind this, she bought that dress pre-tariff. We cannot, and should not, expect that people only wear their clothing once. Yes, obviously she should be seeking out clothing made in the USA, by US designers and with US materials. But that sourcing does take time. And in the meantime, in our crud-flooded world, we all need clothes.

      Don’t disparage Miss Piggy like that! She has a few blindspots, but she’s generally an honest, intelligent pig. And she would never be a mouthpiece for a fascist administration!

        Hey hey - can we please not hassle Bullshit Barbie’s puffy fatness and focus on the fact that she’s the literal evil mouthpiece of a literal fascist and a rapist who is working to destroy the country as fast as possible?

        Just because she was hired for her looks and just because the “MAGA look” is an identifiable set of horrifying plastic surgeries and toxic beauty products and just becuse she’s doing more damage to her own people and country than 90% of people in the administration doesn’t mean we have to call her fat and puffy-faced. I mean, c’mon. She’s also unattractive on the inside.
