41. Women have agency and free will.
Wed Aug 30, 2017, 02:04 AM
Aug 2017

While we as Democrats (as supporters of women's rights) shouldn't judge her on her looks or choice of dress, she should be judged on her overall actions and character - as an opportunist who married/stands by a fascist, and/or is a fascist herself.

Playing the role of the idealized white wife shouldn't absolve her of criticism, especially when 'rebel' first ladies like Hillary and Michelle were brutalized by the right and the media.
