The bimbofication* of Kristi Noem is a perfect metaphor for what Donald Trump, the Bimbo in Chief, has done to the Republican Party (and to electoral politics in general) over the past decade.
I will not be surprised if the cracks about Noem's appearance are moderated (and they probably should be), but the fact that Republican women are obviously vying for Trump's attention in this way deserves serious discussion. "When fascism comes to America," maybe it's less likely to be draped in a flag and carrying a cross than it is to involve lip fillers and plunging decolletage.
This isn't even without recent precedent; Putin's shirtless cheesecake shots were among the warning signs about his regime.

There is danger in allowing the United States executive branch to continue towards complete bimbofication. Allowing the United States executive to become nothing more than a figurehead concerned with itself is causing the United States democracy to decay.
Don't know if I'd go the purely sexist route of calling it that, but Trump surely has lowered the level of dialog and standards overall.
