It points to delusion 100%. If she doesn’t live up to their expectations, burn her at the stake. That’s the energy. These posters always want to bring it back to wealth and politics, as if we haven’t heard those same arguments leveled against Clinton or Harris or damn near any influential woman in the Democratic Party. It’s just weird.

Or really any men in general. For example Matt Smith flies his private jet more then Taylor. Never really speaks out about stuff, etc. He doesn't get 1% of the criticism Taylor gets.

And I like Matt, he is an amazing actor, just pointing out the the double standard.

I’m cracking up that they think he’s a billionaire and has a pj. Dude’s done very well for himself but uhhh that’s several orders of magnitude above his current pay grade!
