Becoming a martyr increased the value bigly.

I bet her kids are going to be really messed up.

(93,900 posts)to try to get attention. To keep his ignorant followers attention he had to do the red meat. He couldn't do a regular debate or discussion of his views.
The Grifting was a huge part of this as it is with many other right wingers on social media.
So she needs to keep the money coming in and figuring out how to do it. It will be easy for the next few months as I'm sure they will buy whatever shit they sell and if she decides to do appearances they will pay for it. It's in the long run when things might change.
I think if she met a wealthy left leaning type that could provide same or more wealth and lifestyle she would easily take it.
In the end it's about the grifting.

(17,749 posts)I mean, women are supposed to be submissive. Give birth to babies and stay home to take care of those kids. That's what makes women "happy", right? (Sarcasm, to a degree, of course).
Does she take her children to work with her? What will she be doing with them while she continues Charlie's work? Who will clean her bathroom and do her laundry?
Inquiring minds want to know. Because that is what he preached.

(17,749 posts)Charlie expected every OTHER wife and mother to do it. To make them happy!!! So wouldn't he want his wife to be happy?

(10,407 posts)contestants and winners who I didn't think were overly attractive. More importantly, Kirk's wife has an extremely ugly personality and set of values and beliefs (in my opinion). I would never call such a person beautiful.
