Hi Jess, do you still use tiktok? I remember seeing your posts around the time of the inauguration and thought they were great but now I can't find your content. What's your @? Thank you

these people make me into a social conservative but for social democratic values
Wexler thinks her account can get young women to “come out” of their MAGA closets because, ideally, in her they see themselves. “We all serve different purposes. I really believe culture is upstream of politics,” Wexler told me. “It’s okay to have your values. A lot of people feel this way; they’re just too shy to say anything.” All weekend, everyone in this set kept referring to themselves as “normal.” In their eyes, they are representative of the rest of the country — if not how they look, exactly, then how they talk. After all, the mainstream media had nearly declared a Harris victory after a comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally made racist jokes about Puerto Ricans, only for Trump to set a GOP record with Latino voters. Raquel Debono, when trying to explain why she likes to tell fat jokes, told me, “I’m normal, okay? Probably the most fucking normal person here.” Even her “lib” friends, she says, enjoy a not-so-PC joke every now and then, but only behind closed doors. “I want to be skinny!

Still, it was disconcerting how often a normal conversation with one of these so-called normal people could cannonball from politics and policy into, at the very least, a not-so-PC joke and, at worst, something hateful. When I first reached out to Wexler, for example, asking to talk about her weekend plans for the inauguration, she wrote back, “Let’s do it. Full transparency, I think ‘pronouns’ are ‘retarded.’” She asked me to tell my readers that. “Tomorrow, we’re going to have images of th…

No hyperbole. No LARP. The big tech oligarchy is paraded in plain sight. They will rig 2028 and beyond. The ripple effect will be on our doorstep soon, the worst people in UK politics flocked to the inauguration like flies to shit. We're not prepared for what's about to come.
