The Left’s Othering of SLOTUS Usha Vance was little more than the usual dehumanizing rhetoric and boilerplate ad hominem ubiquitously flung at any conservative woman who dares lift her head in public. But the announcement of her pregnancy has completely unhinged the haters.
Just like every Republican President since Eisenhower has been declared “the next Hitler”, no Republican First Lady has been worthy of accolades from Our Liberal Betters™. There was “Plastic Pat” Nixon, Nancy Reagan was savaged regularly about everything such as a privately funded china set for the White House to choosing a mastectomy, rather than a lumpectomy after her breast cancer diagnosis. Yes, really. Barbara Bush was the butt of bullying remarks on her appearance, and the haters of Laura Bush slammed her as a Stepford wife or called her a “murderer” because of a fatal car accident she was involved with when she was 17. Betty Ford avoided a lot of the sneers and savagery usually reserved for conservative wives because, well, she wasn’t a conservative. Betty was a pretty much an outspoken progressive.
And compare/contrast the treatment of Michelle Obama vs Melania Trump.
Pravda media and the illiberal Democrats are fixated on J.D. Vance as the Republican candidate in 2028 so the pivot after Trump’s second inauguration was to start attacking J.D. Vance as “even worse than Trump” and Usha has come into the Left’s crosshairs. It goes beyond the meanspiritedness of Jen Psaki’s junior high mean girl act about Usha being scared of her husband and in need of “rescuing”. Now we are in full-blown pregnancy conspiracy theories to Usha being Hitler-adjacent because she *is* preggers.
