Somali grils are usually pretty homely but Ilhan's got it
Tbh I think 99% of the glowing news coverage in the media is purely due to her identity, she's like all the identity points at once, and is young a pretty and photogenic. AOC gets a similar celebrity treatment from fawning libs, they love that beautiful caramel skin and big ole titties and her being a millennial. I'm often confounded when I see the very same people denouncing Bernie or Corbyn as publish glowing love letters to AOC or Ilhan. Like AOC is on the face of it, more politically radical than Bernie Sanders. Yet Bernie is a brocialist behemoth who cost OUR QUEEN her deserved crown, while AOC could not be more lovely, oh the diverse face of future America finally having conquered racism. And look at how Corbyn was crucified over supposed antisemitism because he didn't spend his whole life enthusiastically deep throating Zionists like every other possible Anglo world leader in the past century. Ilhan has gotten some quiet mutterings but has been mostly shielded from this. The liberals of course protect and condescend to her, oh she's a stupid Somali, she doesn't understand what she's saying, I'm sure in her chest beats the heart of proud Zionist who would burn every Somali at the stake if it meant a Zionist settler could seize another farm that's so unfairly a Pally families private property, in the land God granted to the Ashkenzai Rabbinic Jewish emigres.
The libs wokies are so gross, they seek to make middle America the sin eaters of the white race in exchange for enthusiastic praise from the brownies. They want a society totally free of all racism, with perfect ideals, in which anyone who for a moment expresses the wrong ideals on this is cast into the fire, after all what righteous person could forgive such behavior. And they want to completely stop there. Once you start talking about actual material conditions to these people, or criticizing the American empire, of course, you get an askew glance. They are white PMC upper middle class after all, that's a threat to their material interests, that's no fun. No stop at the part where there's no racism and the brownies worship me.
Weirdly when discussing concepts derived from Marxist and socialist theory to the most backwards reactionary in Mississippi they seem to have a far better understanding. They like the way that the theory inherently values their own work, where they are taking what is theirs and standing up for themselves against the corporations. They understand Marxism better than a thousand university students with a trendy DSA membership card. In contrast to PMC succdem ideology where the wealthy are benefactors giving away their well deserved wealth out of pure generosity to pathetic and pitiable masses, who are surely oh so grateful for their undeserved benefaction. Liberalism and succdem ideology is the perfect narcissists ideology, these people wonder why rural America "votes against their interests", these people do not represent their interests of course and they know it. No matter how many times you elect a Democrat the plight of the worker isn't going to get any better. The Democrats will never do anything counter to their own material interests. So the rural Americans just elect those with reactionary ideals and make it a war on ideals and ignore the material. Why not after all.
They use the browns as their shield, and the rural whites as their sin eaters, and inspire resentment and race war between the two, sitting in their throne utterly insulated from all of it, feeling oh so noble and woke.
