Summary
Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk’s influence on Trump during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, accusing Musk and other tech leaders of being “welfare queens” reliant on government subsidies while seeking control over national defense.
Loomer also alleged Musk held secret meetings with Iranian and Chinese officials, raising national security concerns.
Her remarks align with growing criticism from MAGA loyalists, including Bannon, who warn of Musk’s outsized role during Trump’s transition.
It does reflect on her despicability, and she is also despicable all on her own. She’s not a good human.
Really? That she, a woman, may have had sex with someone?
She’s despicable for a hundred reasons. Using the tired old trope of “loose woman” is not one of them.
Finish the rest of the statement, “to exert influence” and you can see why people have a problem with it.
Because she’s a woman. If she were a man they’d call it “exerting dominance” and clap.
Wait, do you think nobody has ever said anything about Elon sucking Trumps dick or vice versa?
Of course. But there is a significant difference. Unfortunately, this being the interwebs all nuance is gonna get lost and I doubt very much this point will come across adequately. I’ll try anyway.
When saying such things you are not saying either party is a horrible human because they are sucking dick but because they are being subservient and/or self-serving. You are not actually referencing the sexuality of the situation as negative in itself. Whereas people here literally are saying Looner is bad because she had an affair.
IOW: women being sexual is inherently bad. Men being sexual is never inherently bad.
Nobody is saying that though, she’s bad because she’s a propagandist and white nationalist. Sucking dick is probably the most relatable thing about her.
That is exactly what they are saying. And how do we know? Because that’s what gets mentioned first and most often. That’s the thing that is used to frame the rest as bad. That’s the thing that is to validate every other point.
It’s the exact same thing that has been used to invalidate women’s accomplishments for approximately forever. Oh, she’s not first and foremost a scientist… she’s “hot”. She only got where she is because she slept her way to the top. In this case they are saying that Looner only had influence because she slept with Trump. Not because she’s a capable and clever lunatic on her own. Nope.
Sexuality is never a good thing in women but it’s always a good thing in men.
I think that’s becoming an increasingly old fashioned way of thinking. Men who are adulterous or sleep with “too many” women are just as often seen as incapable of commitment or serious relationships today. For example the “jokes” about Leonardo DiCaprios inability to date anyone over 26 as he ages are tinged with an implication it’s a mental health issue and will prevent him from experiencing real connections.
edit: in hindsight of course an element of the comments on Loomer are sexist, it’s ridiculous to say they’re not. That said she’s a cunt that can fuck right off. Have a good day though sorry for any misunderstanding.
