(14,173 posts)Posts on here how Dr. Jill is classy. That is one way to look at it, and its not wrong.
But its predictable that no Democrat would do that. And perhaps in this particular instance, the person involved, Jill Biden, probably shouldn't poke the nest like that.
But other Democrats, at other times, could have biten back hard. Take a page from the Republcan playbook, the ones that work. Like having them on the defensive more often. Think of what would happen if Jill wore that jacket. Immediately and for at least 2 or 3 days Fox News and the others would be screaming how mean Democrats are to the former FLOTUS.
Democrats are more afraid of that, than the fact that after the smoke that RW media makes clears, the only two things people will remember are the slogans on the two jackets, and who wore them. In the long run, Democrats win.

others reading our words will get educated from them and not make the same mistake.

(14,173 posts)Who here doubts that at least one White House staff member told Melania that the jacket she had chosen, with that slogan, would not make her look good...even if just politically, and not personally.
But she wore it anyways. Because she could. She didn't really give a fuck about those children. Donald made her to go to make the family look "compassionate" for the cameras. Fuck Christmas. Fuck the caged children. She wanted to give a finger to Donald, the media, the whole "stupid" role she had to waste her time with and was forced to play as FLOTUS, and the terrible inconvenience of being forced to have to travel to pretend to care about all the dirty poor brown kids.
And Melania was so arrogant she thought some large group of Americans sympathized with her and also thought that trip was an inconvenience and useless for her to make too.

(53,410 posts)The entire world was recoiling in disgust and rage and they sent her out there to make it look like they cared. She showed them and us!
She also used the excuse that they were guilty of their parents crime of invading the US with their caravans. She even said at one time that it was all their parents fault.

(32,633 posts)I don't believe Melania could have - or would have - ever worn it. So it's all the more meaningful.
Thank you Jill Biden!
