Am I surprised…NOPE, but am I fucking pissed off as all Hell, you betcha!
This moment—of the second gentleman and his daughter, 25, side-hugging while greeting well-wishers at the Democratic National Convention—was all over conservative social media on Monday and Tuesday. Lots of people criticized Ella’s clothes and tattoos: “This family is competing with Biden for the title of trashiest family to occupy the White House,” said the right-wing troll Laura Loomer. (Per WWD, Ella was wearing Helmut Lang.) Some compared Ella unfavorably to Donald Trump’s children, who tend to dress, well, conservatively, and lean on traditional gender signifiers. Some went ahead and declared that Doug Emhoff is probably committing incest. (SLATE)
I KNOW INTROSPECTION IS NOT A QUALITY THAT CAN BE FOUND IN CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS/MAGA/CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST EVANGELICAL FASCISTS. I UNDERSTAND THAT HYPOCRICY IS THEIR FORM OF OXYGEN. BUT TO REMAIN QUIET ABOUT THEIR LUNACY IS RIDICULOUS.
Ella dresses as an individual human adult, choosing her own fashion; she likes tattoos; she is who she is and is proud of being Ella Imhoff. Hurrah Ella, because in a true democracy, not riddles by theocracy, or misogyny, or homophobia, you are you, and you be yourself.
Whoever the fuck this ring-wing troll is, Laura Loomer, GURL, you have some self-respect issues yourself, and it seems you are stuck with your own gender identity bull shit. Laura, find a life of your own. And once again, the MAGA MINIONS are doing their Trump-like projections, trying to accuse others of the very AWFUL and PITIFUL MACHINATIONS that Trump and his own family do each and every day.
Trashiest family in the White House, imagine ketchup on the walls, orange dye on the marble floors, Big Macs strewn on the rugs, and most likely toilets stuffed with Presidential papers. Well-dressed NEPO kids, Eric steals donations from his own charity, Junior, and his white powdery stuff, which is lost in space eyes, and of course, Ivanka, a princess with many copywrites in China.
And they have the audacity to hint at incest. TRUMP BRAGGED TO REPORTERS THAT IF IVANKA WERE NOT HIS DAUGHTER, HE WOULD DATE. AND ALL OF THOSE PHOTOS OF IVANKA SITTING ON HIS LAP AND THOSE LIP-TO-LIP KISSES.
