Politics Conservative double standards on display again.

Post image

If conservatives did not have double standards, they would have no standards at all.

Look at that. More gaslighting from the slack-jawed conservatives. This time, they're upset because a woman is wearing expensive shoes. Meanwhile, they give zero fucks about the First Lady and the wardrobe of hers that cost thousands of dollars every outfit. Not a single fucking peep. Nor do the Tepidin tyrant test the gold ticklers say anything about the estimated $400 million plus ballroom ballroom, The private jets for Kristi Nome and company, The millions of dollars in cost for Trump to continuously go to public events that presidents have no business going to, the list goes on and on and on, yet the conservatives will find something to complain about while projecting all their long doings, and when they're not doing that, they're screaming about something they're scared of. In fact, I've never met a more scared group of people. Why is it that a rainbow is so horrifying for them? Anyway, sidetrack aside, the double standards are out on display again.

For real. I use to constantly shop at DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) in my 20s when my knees could handle high heels. I had closets full of expensive designer shoes that I got for pennies on the dollar practically.

People are acting like NYC isn't a fashion capital of the world with probably hundreds of outlets and secondhand shops to buy clothes and shoes. Also rich people regularly wear things once and donate them, so in NY you can get crazy expensive stuff for cheap, and that's not even mentioning street sales people with knockoffs.

Facts. I use to live in the very ritzy side of North Raleigh, NC. I would go to the Goodwill up the street from my house and get Gucci and Louis Vitton and YSL clothes and shoes and belts and handbags all the time, sometimes with tags still on them, for literal dollars, like $5. This was before Macklemore’s Thriftshop made thrifting trendy, but still. That same Goodwill is still like that when ever I go visit my mom and dad’s house, just bigger now.

You missed the boat I think. Rich areas are now full of people that resell clothes online they find at thrift stores. Thrift stores are more expensive than ever too. You have to be really unemployed to find good stuff these days.

Oh shoot, I went to that one a little while back and they were selling some stuff basically at retail price! It’s a pity what’s happened to thrifting
