i was waiting for your read on all of this after i saw your note yesterday in the substack feed.

i was similarly thinking how strategic the styling and fashion must have been behind the scenes- with so many designers declining to offer or style the trumps and the vance families- but surprising (not fully shocking given their existing clientele) that Oscar De La Renta was the choice designer to wear- the immigrant Dominican American’s namesake and archival designs draping the oligarchs as they proclaim a new “golden age” that eliminates the dna of america: immigration and who is deemed “a real citizen”.

you stated so eloquently the reality that these women are wolves in sheep’s clothing, complicit in enacting fear mongering across the world and regressive, draconian public policy:

“These sartorial selections by Vance and the Trumps softens their cunning, the comparisons they intend to draw and which we relent are tactical, projecting the image not of co-conspirators but of a new era of femininity, or rather a return to a very old one, of one man and one woman united under God, of abortion and childlessness as sin, contemptuous of sin.”

Interesting read however I just can’t look at or read anything to do with any of them or this, even style and fashion which I love.

So glad my mother, who was from Mexico, is so longer alive and thus cannot know what is happening 💔🙏🏽
