      I’m quite watchful of using the word Nazi to mean “person whose politics I find abhorrent and upon whom I’ve declared open season for any kind of treatment including violent death.”

      Because ever since the whole “punch a nazi” thing started the word has drifted that way.

      But even I have to admit that she meets the description. She’s the one who sent masked thugs into liberal cities to drag Hispanic people out of their homes, imprison, torture, deport or kill them. Yeah. This isn’t some celebrity who said an anti-trans thing. The whole ICE shebang, alligator Alcatraz, Renee Good shot in the face. All that shit was her.

      There’s never been a season of state sponsored terror in modern America like the one she pulled. On the poor people of Minneapolis worst of all. Antifa revolt in fucking Minnesota was not on my bingo card but she said “that’s a bingo!” to it.

        Dang, since you have to stay married to people even if they “turn” into a nazi I concede.

        Quit being mean to the nazi’s husband guys, he has no choice in the matter.

          I mean does it sound like they’re getting along? Lol

          As a trans person, if I woke up to the sudden 180 realization that my life of hatred was based on internalized transmisogyny and the woman I married was a big part of why, I’d probably do something pretty similar! It’s fairly jarring even without that context

          I suspect Crystal will level out into a reasonable divorcee in a year or so, but who knows? The Alchemy of the Self is a tumultuous process, and the public eye can’t be helpful

      I highly doubt Kristi Noem was hardcore MAGA before the orange utan offered her the job in exchange for blind obedience. But she certainly was the immoral politician willing to do anything for power. Just like Rubio: they’re all turncoats first and foremost.

      Whether you think Bryon Noem demonstrates a character flaw and moral turpitude by marrying a power-hungry woman, and whether he should be punished for it, is up to you.

        You might want to take thirty seconds to research that before you say it again. She was a hardcore right wing politician before Trump ever ran for office.
