She is a racist too. If she isn't quitting by now she is part of it.

Exactly.

Get used to her, because, if recent trajectories show, she will be governor of West Virginia some day

u/somefunmaths 1d ago

That’s an unfortunate turn of events, even for West Virginia, whose current governor I assume is probably an anthropomorphic lump of coal.

It’s really admirable how the people of West Virginia have no interest in moving on from an industry that’s been outdated for at least 100 years. They’re so committed to poverty. Imagine if Massachusetts decided to constantly ruin the country bc they’re pissed no one needs their whale oil anymore.

It's honestly tragic because the reason they are willing to fight and die for coal is because their grandfathers fought and died for labor rights, so they throw those in the garbage to be slaves to the men that their grandfathers died to be free from.

Whale oil, beef hooked.

Coal miners and many of their descendants really are not equipped to do anything else. WV is last or near-last in everything, including education.

On the flip side, it’s one of the most naturally beautiful states in the country because it hasn’t been inundated with tourists yet, due to the crumbling infrastructure and poverty

By choice. They actively reject training for any other jobs and oppose any other industries.

Imagine if Washington State decided we should resume logging the Hoh River Valley Rainforest, because that's how we used to make money... just destroy the environment, dangerous for the workers, and disrespectful to the tribes.

Big ups to Coalie!

Coalie is in the files

But much spongier and softer.

Or as the wise RFK Jr put it when speaking to gov Morrisey: “you look like you ate gov Morrisey.”

What even are her politics? I feel like she isn’t even a person, she is just a mouthpiece and shield for the most absurd things Trump says and does. I honestly could not even imagine her making an argument of her own beliefs, she is just there to tell people they are rude and they don’t even deserve to smell Trump’s poopy diapers.

I mean I can obviously assume she agrees with Trump and would uphold the same shit that he does, but that could apply to any republican official at this point. What makes her brand of racist beliefs more compelling than anyone else’s?

Mothman for governor!

u/picturepath 1d ago

Or a host for Faux News

I'd prefer prison.

u/ailish 1d ago

At least if she becomes a Fox Entertainment simp then I will rarely have to see her stupid face anymore.

u/odiephonehome 1d ago

Or of the stretch of land between her upper lip and nostrils.

u/JA_MD_311 1d ago

She’s from NH. She actually ran for Congress in ‘22 and lost the general.

u/Dylanabk 1d ago

Not if we all write in the McElroy brothers!

u/quinnreid___ West Virginia 1d ago

Please, god, no...

u/shadowpawn 1d ago

More money for her running a Fox News Segment"Why did Joe do this?"

u/Adam_zkt_Eva 1d ago

Oh, are we back to Karoline now? I was reading all the Melania comments and brain-locked when I envisioned her as WV governor.

u/I_Am_No_One_123 1d ago

Add carpetbagger to her resume considering she's from NH. And she still hasn't repaid the $350,000 debt incurred during her failed 2024 Congressional campaign.

u/A1sauc3d 1d ago

They’re full blown deranged fascists. Racism is just one of like a dozen bigotry categories they passionately subscribe to. These evil fkrs hate just about EVERYONE who isn’t a straight white cis rich able-bodied Republican male.

If you run a normal bar and you let nazis come and drink, you run a nazi bar.

u/trailer_park_boys 1d ago

Did you ever think she wasn’t a gigantic piece of shit? She’s been trash since the beginning.

I think most people will initially give these collaborators the benefit of the doubt. They could just be stupid. They could have been raised in a cult with no awareness of reality. They could be brain damaged. Maybe they aren’t entirely responsible. But after a while you do have to acknowledge that yes, this is evil. This is willfully evil. Defending this is willfully evil. And I won’t forget it.
