Why do they all have the same procedure?

For a cult that is so transphobic, these figures sure all want to look like Pete Burns.

these are people who say you can't have gender affirming care and you must give birth to your rapist's baby because you should accept whatever god gave you. meanwhile they're like "fuck this face you gave me, god, i can't make money with this I'll have some doctors fix your shit for me"

"You should be happy with gods graces, unless you are republican and need to make yourself look like a toy some child melted with a magnifying glass to appease your one true orange god"
Oh, that's because the rules aren't for them, they're for people they don't care about, like the poors.

Kimberly was genuinely beautiful before the filler inflation. Really sad

They all were. They made themselves look like fucking plastic and for what?
- It acts as a political and social signal. Women embracing this look are participating in a form of political conformity.
  This aesthetic is seen as a way for these women to show allegiance to Trump’s movement and to signify that they are "putting in the work" to fit in.

Getting a face like this is a message to MAGA that you're human garbage and will be loyal to the ranks.

face lift?

Guilfoyle clearly also had rhinoplasty

For the same reason that the "Real Housewives of 'X' or 'Y' do it". Because it's a visible affirmation to themselves of how rich they are. The fact that they can afford to "stay young and beautiful" is something that they are better than us peasants for.

MAGA, following the lead of Trump, have a very very gaudy idea of what it means to be "rich". It's all gold plated everything and showing your wealth as obviously as possible in every possible situation. Someone once said that Trump is "a poor man's idea of what a rich man looks like". And that's pretty accurate. To Trump and his MAGA followers, wealth is to be flaunted as a show of power.

Money talks, wealth whispers.
That's what I heard and have observed. Basically matches what your saying I think.
Trump is “a poor man’s idea of what a rich
flaunted as a show of power.
More like flaunted for power. Trump shows what people want to see.
- He is admittedly a good salesman. Most cult leaders are.

Loomer looks genuinely unhinged in her 'before' photo. Is a shame regardless.

Because Trump has a type. And that type is Howard the Duck.

Hey! He wasn't that bad! At least he knew quackfu!

They all look hideous, I normally wouldn’t say that about another person, but these freaks chose to look like this.

I normally wouldn’t say that about another person
They don't look like a real person anymore, so that might soothe your conscience, too.
- I quit thinking magats were people a long time ago.
It's like they asked the surgeon to align their looks with their inner beauty. If that was the objective, the surgery was a perfect success.
It's actually crazy how hideous the cosmetic work is. Are MAGA weirdos actually attracted to all of that plastic or is this a purely internal thing
- It is. KimG was aging pretty well and in the before pic has good cosmetic work done. Then the pivot to the ghoulish look, it honestly all reminds me of a twilight zone episode.

It really is like a movie where all the bad guys share a style so we know which ones to root against.

It's the 21st century version of the full-face covering, the stormtrooper helmet.

The federal government really has been taken over by the Legion of Super-Villains

Legion
Of
Super
Evil
Republican
Suckers

They want the trump gaze. Gross

This is what Loomer looks like now, actually

And she does like playing games this checks out

These fuckers have the audacity to bitch about trans people “mutilating” themselves.

Are they going for a trans look? Because each of those after pics look way less "passing" than the before ones.

Mother Jones did a decent article about this trend a few months ago.

It always kind of reminds me of this.

I'm not American so I hadn't heard of Kristi Noem before the last episode. But seeing this post, they were spot on

Laura loomer looks like a wax statue gone horribly wrong... and also comes to life in a horror movie.

Their king is made of plastic, and they want to be just like him.

What on earth makes people think this is a desirable look? It’s grotesque. Like literally, in the classical art meaning, grotesque. Like living gargoyles. And many of them were actually beautiful before this butchery.

It's largely incidental.
Soft-tissue cosmetic surgery doesn't last. They're foreign objects in the body, so over time your body tries to break them down. Lip filler slowly diffuses around the bottom of your face, for example. Botox paralysing muscles affects strength and elasticity.
So it's a cursed treadmill. You can't stop getting surgery once you start. A single surgery will look worse than your unaltered face if you only have one, so every few years you have to get it again.
But.. all the old stuff is still in there. The muscle damage accumulates. The filler accumulates, and is impossible to remove. You might remove some of your own tissue to 'reshape' as it gets more advanced, but many just 'top up'.
Either way, you are permanently altered. They don't choose to look like this, they choose to make minor adjustments to look younger/hotter/etc that slowly turn them into this.
- Most cosmetic surgery isn't permanent.
  These big changes often are, though. You may regret it and get it removed, but you’re going to age far worse in any case.
  There’s a whole movement right now of these people getting their surgery reversed, but in many cases the long-term damage has been done and you will age worse than if you hadn’t done it. You have scar tissue that will age differently, no matter how minor and no matter what you do.
  It’s really sad, because these people are making themselves look worse now and they’ll also age worse, and they’ll likely hate that, then spend thousands more in that cycle, like you said.
- I'm starting to think cosmetic surgery shouldn't be allowed unless it's for a medical purpose like restructuring someone's face after being assaulted or something.
  Purely cosmetic surgery seems like it's simply immoral doctors preying on insecure women.
- the botox prevents muscle movement, so the muscles atrophy and cause sagging so now they have to get more. anyone watches ISAIP, rob and kaitlyn went overboard on this too, now even thier hardcore fans are clowning how fake they are.
This is all my own opinion and observations. Feel free to disagree:
Rich people are like all of us. They constantly feel this absence that they can't quite fill with material things, no matter how hard they try. They just have a lot of money to try more and more of those things. It's like compulsive gambling. The next spin will be the jackpot, I just know it!
The problem is they have too much money and don't know when/how to enjoy what they already have. Eventually, the dopamine they get from new and shinny things wears thin and they need to find more or something new to get it again.
Why do you think their current objectives are aimed at dismantling society and regression to earlier eras? They've gotten to a point where nothing makes them happy so they think society is the reason. They also want regression because many of them have fond memories of their childhood and associate the time period with those pleasant feelings.
Unfortunately, the problem is in their head. We're all just along for the ride. Even if they are successful at tearing down society, and even if they somehow come out of that time on top, it won't last. Then they'll die having destroyed the planet and countless lives chasing a fictitious world comprised entirely of a fleeting hormone in their brain.
People on their deathbeds often cite similar regrets of focusing on shit that doesn't matter, while letting the things that do matter wither away. It's why I don't like to participate in a lot of the same things, at 40, that my peers do, and why I never have. I enjoy the journey and don't feel there was ever a destination. It's why the attitudes of some with power upset me. I don't want to be a part or their sickness, yet like most of you, I have no choice.
I hate it here.
To be fair, there are people who get things done and you’d only know with a before and after. But when it goes wrong or gone too far, it’s awful. There are plenty of success stories that are invisible to the average person in passing
- I think that's kind of their point. It's done so well so often, why do these people always get the ugly stick version? They can't all be using the same (bad) surgeon.
- kimberly has the worst one right now, and noem, goatkiller kristi is halfway there. lara trump is probably relieved that trump never "thirsted" for her.
This is one of those “I’m explaining, not justifying” moments. Having said that: I think these threads give us a skewed view of the whole situation, leading to a completely unresolvable “whyyy???” Reaction.
The thing that made these people do something was probably some typical aging flaw like wrinkles or sagging skin. We don’t see that in the photos.
What we do see in the photos is:
a “before” photo that’s probably 10-15 years old, showing the person when they were young. We think “what was wrong with that???” But you have to age them 15 years to answer that question.
an “after” photo that’s as unflattering as possible. We all know that from one photo to the next, a person can look more or less photogenic depending on lighting, their expression, etc. Photos in a post like this are hyperselected for unattractiveness, especially of their surgery.
I believe in aging realistically but I’m also a man and my career isn’t bound up in the entertainment industry where my appearance is literally everything.
So given all this, I can still have a distaste for cosmetic surgery and shake my head at people doing it, but I don’t QUITE have total bewilderment over why WHY WWWHHHYYY??? because I can mainly see how the post is manipulated to produce that reaction, and I opt out of that manipulation.
- Yes, the "why?" part, at least the beginnings of it are the more clear part. It still is intriguing the rabbit hole some of these people have gone into, and educational how money can't buy it all.
If you have a lot of money you can get a lot of plastic surgery
It’s just like buying a big house or a bunch of expensive cars or a private trip to child rapist island: a status symbol
- Sure, but one would think you’d want to look good, not like an Easter Island head.
I think that, for some rich people, it’s seen as a status symbol.
- I've read this. Getting heavy work done shows how rich you are. Who wants plastic surgery that you have to tell people you had and how much disposable income you spent on it?
Same reason Michael Jackson looked the way he did. Mental illness.
Funny part about mental illness is, comorbidities are the norm, so they likely have other "atypical" neurological traits, like sociopathy.

Why do I always think of Jigsaw when I see Laura Loomer?

because jigsaw's mask is what her doctors used as a mold to make her face
- Well now that makes sense.

They are desperately trying to look good enough for Trump to give them a creepy grin and a quick grab of their ass.

This but unironically. I have no prrof but I'm convinced the GOP attracts a certain type of women. As soon as they get some of that promised moolah, the plastic surgery starts.

Probably has to do with societal conditioning to be stand-out beautiful as a woman, I'm sure everyone feels some type of body dysphoria.

I guess when you have the money, and you see adverts all the time about successful surgery, you fall into the trap and become a victim.

(General obervation by meeeee, a bimbo)

to be stand-out beautiful as a woman,
...then why do they go in the opposite direction?
They all look like rubber dolls now.
- Lol you are right.
  The only explanation I can think of is predatory and false advertising.
I'm also a bimbo, and I've decided that if I get plastic surgery, it'll be only for me and nobody else. I ask myself if I'd still want x surgery even if nobody else would ever see me again. Not that I'll probably ever have the money for surgery, but I think it's a good way to test whether surgery is the right option. I'm all for body modification if it's for self-expression.
- Hey I’m curious, what’s your definition of bimbo? I always thought it was like dumb but beautiful, the latter often done artificially via makeup, clothing, and beyond.
  But neither of you seem dumb, so just looking for an update on the lingo.

its called the mara-a-lago face. right wing talking heads have to look increasingly like "male gaze" females, in order to be in positions like a fox talking head, or trumps inner circle. conservative voters dont like to see old bats.

If the "male gaze" is attracted to plastic duck lips and sunken eye sockets shaded in expensive bat shit, with foreheads like a full bag of curdled milk...
Yuck. Nevermind.
old bats? they look like old boots.
- pleather face

It's like the fascist version of the Habsburg jaw.

Except they paid someone to make them look like this

Top right looks straight out of the purge

They actually look human in the before pics. Glad to know they got adjustments to make it obvious that’s not the case.

Did they have gender affirming surgeries?!

this is probably the gender affirming care they should be concerned about

Imagine hating yourself so much that you're a woman and decide to be a Republican.

There's your answer.

Fucking up your face is literally a MAGA woman's tattoo at this point.

Ma Lara Trump is outside the front door again, get the grapeshot. Pa get grandad's M2 Incase the dog killer tries the chimney again.

All are anti-trans but they out here transforming into shit.

Just anti-transgender, not anti-transhuman.
The gas mask comes later, and then they’ll join Sector 17 Overwatch.

That Loomer lady sure did herself dirty.

- First thought. This is just to butter up to jigsaw.
Guilfoyle didn't do herself any favors either.
- She had a genuinely pretty face.
"Temu Jigsaw" is what I've heard her called. Apropos
If you really want to be surprised, she's only like 32 years old.
She looks 50+.
- Holy fuck. These photos must be like 2 years apart. They look 20 years apart.
- I'M SORRY WHAT??!!!
- Born in 1993. What the actual fuck? Guess hate makes you ugly.
- Damn.
- holy shit. i just looked it up. she was born in 93. wtf
I mean, they all did.
She was legitimately gorgeous, and now 😔

They are actually lizard people slowly reverting to their true forms. I heard Guilfoyle is even completely covered in scales from cloaca to sternum. Lots of people are saying it.

Not as far fetched as you'd think. If you were an alien trying to sort of pass as human whilst implementing a military dictatorship what would you do differently?
- Personally, I'd go with a strange blond combover and way-too-long ties.

I'll say what I said on another thread about this: They’re copying the “eccentric gajillion-dollar empire heiress” look. Getting excessive amounts of plastic surgery to show off their “fuck you money” is a time-old tradition.

hdtf reference

Bimbofication fetish, I saw it on Reddit

That's just what those ones evolve into. Wait until you see the third evolution

It's sad to see people mocking these poor women. They obviously have a lot going on and are just terrified. That's why they're doing all they can to make themselves look as un-couchlike as possible.

I dunno, Laura Loomer is rocking some pillow lips.
- The rest of the face looks like faux leather, too.
- They're more like futons: cheap and easily folded.

THIN YOUR PAINTS!!

- Truly this is heresay. The Emperor protects.
This sent me bahaha. They're like that space marine picture with 1cm deep layers of paint

The conspicuity is the point. It's like any other body modification; it connotes social class/rank. The same way a prison tattoo let's people know what you're about, this type of plastic surgery let's people know what you're about. It's not intended to be convincing or subtle. It's to set them apart from the steerage class.

I wish we lived in a world with people that complicated. I wish there were evil masterminds on even the most basic level, because it would imply a greater potential for our species in all regards.
These old marionettes are suffering from a basket of mental health issues stemmed from decades... maybe centuries, of constant approval seeking from a world of only one kind of man, the only kind they will ever be around so they can only imagine a dimension of sneering and leering and being literally abandoned and alone for displaying anything but the most over-top display of cartoonish, 2-dimensional caricature of femininity, because any variation or subtly in displaying gender identity is not allowed in the superficial hellworld deep within the warp that is conservative celebrity.
Like Sneeches with stars and Sneeches without stars upon thars.

Laura Loomer went from looking like a female Bradley Cooper, to looking like Jigsaw trying to compete on Drag Race.

She went from fugly to extra fugly. But Kim was actually attractive before she paid for a fugly face. That’s the biggest tragedy.

Tribal allegiance. Scarification.

tramp-stamp 10 commandments

Trump stamp?

The men too, they all look like a vampire or they're smelling shit.

Lol fucking Miller dressed up in trek uniforms, then says "why would we have diversity?"
- I legit had a conversation with a MAGA who was telling me the Star Trek universe was awesome and we should try to do that, and when I pointed out it was literally space communism he visibly bluescreened. I wish I’d recorded it.
- That's the sad part. He's probably one of those idiots crying "why did Star Trek go woke‽"...like, news flash.
It's oddly appropriate to see Miller dressed as a Trekkie and looking mighty unhappy about that fact. I can't decide whether it's because he's cosplaying a "filthy space commie", because he's expected to act as a decent older role model or it's because his resting bitch-face just is like that, but hey... It's not like any of those explanations are mutually exclusive.
Stephen Miller looks like a racist Sheldon Cooper in that Federation uniform.
I hereby nominate Emil Bove for top Nosferatu clone in the current US federal government
- Tie?
  
  Stephen Miller has that smelling shit thing going on in this pic too.
it’s probably both lol

I appreciate them going to the trouble of making their appearance better match their ghoulish personalities.

Surely they can see the malformations? Perhaps they convince themselves that its beauty, in the same way they see greatness and and worship a child rapist.

I knew a woman years ago who was probably the prettiest woman I've ever seen in person. The only things about her that could even be mildly considered "flaws" were a slight bump on the bridge of her nose (which I thought only enhanced her beauty) and b-cup breasts (and I actually prefer smaller breasts, like millions of men do). However these two "flaws" drove her insane and she got plastic surgery and breast implants after saving up tens of thousands of dollars to pay for it (she was not rich by any means).
The first time I saw her after she healed up, I literally started in horror. She not only had the nose bump scraped, she got her nose entirely reformed into a little button, comically large cheek and chin implants, and the bee-sting lips which were already collapsing and asymmetrical. The D-cup implants were just absurd and probably looked similarly horrific naked. Apparently she had also gotten liposuction for no reason. And for the icing on the cake she had gotten eyeshadow tattoos, a hideous dark purple.
She went from being a beautiful, fit 33-year-old to pretty much a monster. I can't even imagine what she looks like now 15 years later. But according to our mutual friends she thought all the surgeries were a fantastic success and she was incredibly happy.
- The western worlds societies really do maintain pressure on women to have disproportionate negative views of their faces and bodies. A LOT coming from the wider industries around women from magazines, salons and media includng social.
You know how the saying goes "Horrible stupid people flock together and support even the worst human traits just to get a taste of being a horrible waste of life"
there's BDD at play here
I mean this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_dysmorphic_disorder
- Butter-Dumpling Ducks?

Holy shit, Laura looks awful after all that surgery.

I wonder how much of their actions are justified internally by their hatred of how they look now
there's just no way that they think that they look good. like, most people, even conventionally unattractive ones, if they are happy good people they probably think they look okay. and they probably do.
none of these people look okay after that work, and nowhere close to attractive.
maybe they're just shitty people to begin with, but I do wonder how much of what they do is because they're unhappy with their appearance now and they just kind of take it out on everybody.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

Pretty sure it's all the hate that seeps out into their faces. The surgeryi can't hide it, but it can distract from it.

'idealized' in coloring books they like

"Mar-a-Lago face" is the term isn't it?

Steal his look

It's kind of a thing we are seeing everywhere these days.

People need to halt on these type of elective procedures. It gets expensive, you all start looking the same, and it's ugly.

And it still doesn't fucking work even after decades of this shit. People's faces keep on sagging and collapsing afterwards, even faster than otherwise because of all the tissue trauma. If they look good at all, it's for just a brief moment in time after months of healing and before the decay resumes.
- Right. A recent South Park episode shows what happens to those faces and the upkeep it needs.
  I think the docs push this bullshit on social media, get people hooked, and it's recurring income for them to hell with the long term consequences for the patient.

literal and figurative zombies lmao

Bruh. It's not like. They were ugly before. They look like torture victims from Hellraiser.

Noem absolutely was.
Stupid dog killer.
- She's the only one that looks arguably better with the surgery, but even then its borderline.
  Post surgery she always looks agitated.. like her facial muscles have been cut/stretched and left in this permanent frozen scowl. Even when she's smiling she's furrowing her brows.

Gotta be the same shitty plastic surgeon.

Definitely the same guy's "work".

They're all ghouls.

"I'll have what she's having"

Low self-esteem.

Everything about republicans is fake. From their morality to their “facts” to the plastic people they put on camera.

They want their outside to match their inside, Fuck ugly.

Whether it’s actually the concentrated evil turning them ugly, or the evil they do that makes the money they use to pay for the plastic surgery, does it matter?

Spiritually, aren’t those the same thing anyways?

It's called Mar-A-Lago face and it's the ultimate commitment to Trumpism. Disfigure yourself for dear leader.

It's fucking psychosis. Yes, they are vain. But they are also in denial. Does anyone actually think that this looks better? If I want to look the best I can, if I'm absolutely obsessed with it enough to get surgery to do so, I am staying far away from whatever the fuck this is because it just looks fucked up. It makes zero sense.

I found out the other day this is being referred to as Mar-a-Lago face. Search it up if you like; I don't want to link to any news rags (Independent, Huffpo, etc), who are the only ones writing about it.

Oh my god! What's wrong with your face?! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=62UzLgdb1GQ

body shaming is pretty shitty behavior, maybe don’t sink to their level

if anything point out the hypocrisy of them endorsing gender affirming elective surgery but denying it to others based on arbitrary criteria usually based in religious and antiscientific beliefs

But being like “hurr look at how fucking ugly this plastic faced woman is” is just as misogynistic as when right wing media plasters a bunch of pictures of alt women and rag on their appearance or tears apart images of trans women.

Nobody is shaming the bodies they were born with, but when you deliberately carve, stitch and inflate your face into something that would make any child spontaneously scream in abject fear and break down in tears of terror, you can't reasonably expect it to pass unremarked upon.
It doesn't have anything to do with gender either. It's no different when men do the same.
- Literal anti trans rhetoric if you delivered it slightly differently
  Like jump on kiwi farms and your post would fit right in word for word in any of the trans hate threads. You are right there with their vitriol, you just change the target.
In principle, I agree.
...But I think many people are sick of playing 'fair' while schoolyard bully insults of trans women (for instance) rake in millions of dollars and tons of ratings.
In the larger social media landscape? Principles don't work. Algorithms are just going to suppress being polite.
I say spit fire back. If being a shithead is all that trends, mind as well make the enablers miserable. And hopefully the whole ragebait system falls apart, soon...
- “I hope the ragebait system falls apart while I perpetuate it”
One of those Lemmy moments when you're getting downvoted for pointing out the uncomfortable truth.
Trans ppl modify their bodies -> body positivity Some terrible people modify their bodies -> they are ugly and mentally ill
slow clap
Pointing out the hypocrisy does fuck all, they know they’re fucking hypocrites and they will do and say anything for themselves. I’m going to stick with body shaming these pieces of shit cos mirroring their shitty behavior back on them has been the one thing I’ve noticed that shuts magats the fuck up. All you’re doing is appeasing them and doing what they want you to do to bait you into some bullshit “debate”
- Hate the post all you want but classic neolib behavior. “You’re my friend when you’re on my team but then when you’re against me the internalized homophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, fatphobia, etc I’ve been suppressing will come right out and I’ll go right back to call of duty lobby language”
  Be better
Counterpoint: nah, fuck them

They all look like the disposed beta companion dolls

Finally the flesh begins to represent the insanity within!

"So, what were you looking to imp-"

"Just fuck my shit up."

"Like... your hair?"

"No, my face. I hate myself, and I need to be as beautiful on the outside as I secretly suspect I am on the inside."

Hello. Yes. I'd like to look like a death mask that's been stung by a bee.

I love how much money they all spent to look like gargoyles

Same butcher more like...

I don't have an issue with what people do with their own bodies. But I do have an issue with them being fucking scum.

"Hello, I want to play a game"

that can't be real.

can it?

Why is there a Reddit logo? They are really ramping up the whole "our platform, our content" fuckery

That's been around for years, its added automatically if you share an image using the official Reddit app, IIRC.

Which South Park episode is this?

Recent season, episode 2.

Reminds me of that Curb Your Enthusiasm episode with Crazy Eyes Killer.

Are they misunderstanding when people say their 'mask is slipping?'

Hey, I don’t like them, but body dysmorphia comes in different shapes and sizes. As long as they don’t hurt others(as in, no people getting hurt related to their surgery) who am I to judge.

People are getting hurt.
It may not be a cause itself, but they might both be from the same cause.
like sure we can't prove that people are getting hurt because of their surgery, but we sure as hell can prove that people are getting hurt and that the people causing that hurt have had this surgery.
there is definitely a correlation there. and that should be investigated.
