Goddam we are already at "it wasn't real but if it was they deserved it"?

The working masses appear in all shapes and sizes. How would you feel if someone was ruthlessly attacking the appearance of someone who has a resemblance to yourself, say that if you were a balding male with a receding hairline and people that you agree with and generally get along cordially make fun of trumps sons for their receding hairlines and do nothing but attack them for physical traits that coincidentally align with your own physical traits. Would you not feel slighted? Wouldn't you wonder if those you are working with are judging your physical form in the same manner as they judge the enemy?

We must fight for the liberation of the working class, and to help join our ranks and feel welcome, we must cast aside our discrimination for the other. This means fighting against racism, misogyny, ageism, xenophobia, homophobia, trans-phobia, discrimination against the disabled, and to struggle against the chauvinist lies of the capitalist class.

    The fact you haven't addressed is that she chose to have that appearance, and she did it as a cultural signifier to the MAGA cult.

    Choosing to have Mar-a-Lago face is similar to choosing a Nazi tattoo. I harshly criticize the appearance of people with Nazi tattoos, and I think that same logic applies to Loomer's face.

    So any women who enjoys cosmetics and has elected to get self-affirming surgery should be shamed just because of a handful of people?

    No.

    There's a fundamental difference between enjoying cosmetics, self-affirming surgery, and Mar-a-Lago face.

    Would you judge a person who elected to get self-affirming surgery in an attempt to look like Hitler? I would, and I think Mar-a-Lago face is a similar concept.

    people getting cosmetic surgery out of fear of appearing unattractive

    people getting Nazi tattoos to prove their loyalty to the cause

    These are actually not that similar, even if it's "Mar-A-Lago" face for the MAGA crowd

    Just because the MAGA crowd is obsessed with appearances doesn't mitigate the fact that most of Western society is obsessed with appearance as well

    Look at Hollywood and it's rich history of grinding actors to paste only to cast them aside the second they start to show wrinkles

    People are getting Mar-a-Lago face to prove their loyalty to the cause. It's fundamentally different than Hollywood's body dysmorphia.

    Mar-a-Lago face is not standard Hollywood style procedures, it is designed specifically to stand out from those types of looks. It's a peacock effect. It's a cultural signifier. It's a Nazi tattoo.

    That's the thing about dog whistles, for most people it is just plastic surgery. For most people, 1488 is just a number and the golden sun is just a cool looking symbol.

    Hop in the sauce, pal. It's still warm, and it's delicious.

    and tattoo ink can be used to make something wholesome and cool or something vile

    it's not gender affirmation, it's not whatever the fuck is going on in occupied korea.

    if anything it's more similar to foot-binding than truly elective procedures like the bifurcated tongue fad

    What is the difference between the mar-a-lago face than people in their 50-60 trying to look younger?

    If the specifics of the mar-a-lago face is large lips/eyelashes what makes it different than I don't know the bimbo look?

    Only right wing republicans have this aesthetics or the majority of republicans have it but other people also have them?

    "Mar-a-Lago face" is a cultural and aesthetic term describing a highly polished, unapologetically "done" look. Unlike standard cosmetic surgery—which often aims for subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation—this style leans into excess and is frequently seen as a symbol of status, wealth, and conservative political alignment.

    Mar-a-Lago face is intentionally trying to set itself apart from the traditional cosmetic surgery of trying to look younger, it's a cultural signifier.

    I'm no expert, but I think the "bimbo" look includes beach blonde hair, an emphasis on breast surgery; less filler and different facial shape than Mar-a-Lago face.
