I'm amazed that we're still treating Melania's complicity and fashion choices as an open question after that "I really don't care" jacket, except that white womanhood allows for near endless innocence.
An underdiscussed aspect of the "I really don't care" incident is the fact that there is literally no appropriate occasion for anyone associated with government to wear a garment with that slogan.

OK, I have the speech up. I am going to go in order, with many digressions along the way. This is the sort of on-the-fly essay writing I do on here sometimes, so I may get things wrong. If I write it up, I'll correct.
Linked the wrong speech, so I'm trying again.

Pssst, German Jews were also normal Germans before their fellow citizens turned on them and maybe we could stand to think about that a little more.

Hi. History nerd here. 👋🏻 I’m seeing some creepy takes on adults having sex with teens as historically normal, and that’s only kinda true.
I have a fun lecture I’ve done a few times on eighteenth-century British marriage.

The fuzzy definition of "working class" is gaining a lot of mileage lately.
Referring to Trump's base as "working class" serves his agenda FYI
