The faces of women in the Republican Party have changed drastically, and people have noticed. As the likes of Kristy Noem and Kimberly Guilfoyle become ever-pouchier, pouty-lipped, and blown out in the short time since Trump took office, the internet has been in a frenzy. Some, including plastic surgeons themselves, have suspected these women of getting cosmetic work done to get in Trump’s good graces. Others have suspected this botchedness to be intentional, that they’re deliberately “polluting other people’s field of vision” in an act of contempt. But are they? In this season 7 premiere, Hannah and Maia are joined by Biz Sherbert (of Nymphet Alumni) to discuss the many ways that beauty is absorbed into the never-ending culture war of our times. From “Republican makeup tutorials” on TikTok, to the widespread confusion around a chic Republican girl on the cover of New York Mag, it seems everyone is doing a whole lot of externalizing at a time when introspection is more necessary than ever.
