Just to reiterate, Marxism is not "skip to the part where I don't pay for anything and fuck everyone else"

And Mike Johnson's sob story should be read in tandem w/@tressiemcphd.bsky.social's piece on how the right wing treats its talented women.

Some of the most visible Trump groupies are members of government: Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, Elise Stefanik, Kristi Noem and, of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene. These women brought a certain amount of chutzpah to Trump’s brand, adding their feminine touch to his masculine politics of disruption, grift and sexism so that it looked less like scamminess and more like populism. In exchange, they rode Trump’s ideological coattails to power. This kind of professional coverture — where women rely on powerful men for their own professional status — can be heady. It’s not hard to imagine the onetime “South Dakota Snow Queen” Noem struggling with professional respect or the G.E.D. holder Boebert having few career options. And for many of them, betting on Trump did pay off. They did not just win elections and gain political appointments. They also became stars. But history can tell you what happens when a king graces a woman with new powers: When the king tires of her, her reign is over. Editors’ Picks On a Volcanic Caribbean Isle, 37 Beaches and Endless Views Wines, Spirits and More to Bring to Any Holiday Gathering What Is Agentic A.I., and Would You Trust It to Book a Flight? Viewing Greene’s newfound political trajectory as bravery assumes that she had something to risk in standing up to Trump. But it is just as likely that, like millions of women before her, Greene’s status with the king had already been degraded. Trump once described Greene’s frequent phone calls with great affection. This month he described them as a nuisance and her as a lunatic. It’s a classic breakup drama.
