I like Sam Spade for now, but Beet should get the next one for sure:

Prior to Trump's presidential run, Paris Hilton was way more well known than Ivanka. Her way of coming into the spotlight was also very different--while Ivanka was lifted up by her dad's career, Hilton had to deal with the nonconsensual release of a tape of her having sex. So not only did she build a successful and well known brand, but she built it despite being known for something society still considers shameful, in that any explicit publicity around it can be damaging. Hilton definitely should be respected as a skilled businesswoman, along with the Kardashians.

Basically Mugabe was going to give his wife Grace power and the boys club in the army said no. The tragic irony for the wife is that the very same mortality of her sponsor that would have given her power is also the reason she has lost power. It’s like what happened to Jiang Qing in 1976. This is why feminists advocate independence for women, even though it’s easier just to snag a man.

People here do not understand why the right is fighting the culture wars so hard right now. And it's not "the religious right" or even "conservatives" at times. It is anybody who thinks this gender/sexuality/race stuff has gone way too far. And you don't have to be religious or even conservative to think that.

Liberals, particularly postmodernists, have been very successful at implanting their CRT/identity politics-type ideology in nearly every institution in American life. In academia, in entertainment, in corporations. They've done it because they want to create a permanent Democratic/liberal majority in the future, and they know teaching people these concepts at a young age (whether it is by 5 or 25) will get them locked in easier for life. These are not dumb people.

This is why Republicans are now doing this. They feel they are overwhelmed by leftist insanity in every major institution. Now, the Republican Party takes a stance that 5-8 years olds shouldn't be taught about sexual or gender material, that biological males shouldn't compete in professional sports against biological women, and that children can't consent to life-changing surgeries, and THAT is now equivalent with opposing gay marriage in 2004? Actually, seems more like liberals are so used to getting everything they want that when the right finally pushes back a little it's the end of the world.

2022 is going to the biggest "F U" in American history in that if Republicans run on this stuff, Dems will finally take an official L on culture even though the most likely outcome in the institutions is they'll just push this stuff even harder. It's going to take years, decades, to really dislodge this garbage, and it's certainly not going to come from just electing Republicans.
