Taco’s Reviews > Ladies First: MAGA Hat Romance Book I > Status Update

"It was women’s work, not that he minded helping his sister, but this task required small hands and a nimble touch, not the stubby logs his fingers felt like."

Just when I was going to praise this guy for helping out...

"So, all she was required to do was ride along and collect her stuff. Mike would do the rest. The secure feeling returned."

Not everyone is here to take care of shit for you, Ricki.

"There’s a conservative capitalist in me ready to show itself."

*snorts loudly*

"All had the same values in common—love America, work hard, be prosperous, help others."

It's manipulative language, of course these are all great values, but it's not including the hatred towards trans people that many conservatives carry. I've seen it for myself time and time again. It's only "help others" when it's people they approve of.

"But Mike and Michelle lived their values, too, without apology."

Okay, but if someone with the opposite values did the same, it's bad?

"And when you said that you didn’t want to wear those colors to your parents’ house, I knew you were a good person.”

What the fuck is wrong with having dyed hair in front of your family? My Mom has dyed hair and is a conservative Christian 🙄

"There was no faking this helpless and female self."

Easily the worst sentence of this book so far.

“For the egregious offence of having a father who is an officer of the Miami-Dade police force … an occupation marked by racial injustice toward marginalized communities, led by this illegitimate government, Melissa Harding is hereby censured and shunned for a period not to exceed ninety days, to commence immediately.”

Stfu, tell me one meeting where this happens. ONE.

"She ran her fingers through her hair, tinted lavender for the occasion."

Oh C'MON, you can't be telling me that her hair is going to look ugly in THAT color!!!

"It’s got to be a cult. People just aren’t that together on anything unless they’ve been somehow brainwashed.”

I mean, her suspicions are valid. I can believe that plenty of conservatives are nice, but there's no way in hell there wouldn't be a few assholes at a political event. Regardless of what side.
