If there is one thing about the left that is consistent as the sun, it is their predictability.
When Michelle Obama came on the scene, they fawned over her as if she were the reincarnation of Jackie Kennedy.
Her fashion style.
She would show up wearing the Black Widow Dress, and normal people would wince in revulsion, or she would appear in public looking like she just got out of bed and couldn’t be bothered to bathe, wearing ill-fitting clothes that showed her sloppy unattractiveness.
Then, when Melania Trump appeared, this was a woman who was indeed physically attractive, and she always made sure she was presentable.
I very much appreciated that. I always admired both my mother and father in this respect, and I think I got this from them as well. Whenever they left the house, they made sure to be “presentable”. They both always put on clean, neat clothes, my mom always got her hair in shape, put on a small but focused application of makeup, my dad was always shaven with his hair combed or his crewcut combed up and shoes clean.
I remember as a young child watching my dad put on his navy uniform, and in his entire 30 years, his uniform was immaculate, neat, and impeccably worn right down to the tie. Turning to us in his khakis, he explained to me and my brothers how important, when dressing as a man, to ensure you had a straight “plumb line” as it was called in the Navy. (The line of buttons on the shirt had to line up perfectly with the zipper or button on the trousers)
Like Melania, my parents did this because it was reflective on their attitudes about appearance, not subjecting others to slovenliness, and that started with themselves.
Dressing for success is not a myth.
People see you differently, and they treat you differently.
They form trust and respect around this.
Good for your parents for instilling that in you.
