I admit to being absolutely delighted to read that Rep. Elise Stefanik (Republican of New York) has ended her bid for Governor of New York and in fact, will drop out of Congress altogether.
After being considered a “reasonable” Republican, she went full MAGA—kissing the deranged orange baboon’s ass at every turn.
He rewarded her by jilting her—over and over and over again.
Read all about it here.
Of the many, many things I didn’t like about her, I think it was her celebration of the Dobbs decision that irked me most.
Why do “conservative” women fall into the trap of thinking they will be rewarded by the patriarchy for actively working to undermine their own rights?
Poor Elise.

She had potential, but she got lost in the hype and turned too far to the right. I’m not sure what she was thinking, but you’re right in your closing comment, and it reminds me of The Handmaid’s Tale.

So true Edward. Elise definitely gave powerful “commander’s wife” vibes but alas, Gilead is run by and for men, so she was destined for humiliation.

Yes, she did. It’s unbelievable that there are some who want the U.S. to be Gilead.
