(61,785 posts)I despise her and as an old white woman myself, it's not because of any of that. I would prefer to admire her, but I can't, because of her words and actions.

But basically saying she's being performative by working a keyboard and mouse is the weakest of things to after her for and basically leans into the other categories I mentioned.
If someone has worthwhile things to be criticized about, you don't have to find things like this or other red-handle type complaints.

(61,785 posts)I wouldn't attack her for her appearance, for example, but since she has a long history of being performative - invariably in service to the GOP - I think it's fair to ask what she's doing today.
You have a point, though.
