And we know this because if she survived law school in THAT era ?! She went trough some shit that would curl you hair and wither your soul

And YOU ain't on that level. You can't even get to the hidden door to fight the secret boss to access the stair to that level

And her brilliance and also her belief that what she is doing is right? Is part of what scared the fuck out of me real talk

She an imperial capitalist a brillant mind , a drive for power and she ACTUALLY MEANS WELL .. she believes this OH hell

But the attacks of "not warm/ doesn't connect/ her human moments are staged/she seems very cognizant of being watched"

No shit fam , her 20's were spent in an environment that has destroyed men twice her size with 4x her support

And during the primary? When she's backstage and I was constantly intrigued by her when she was in the background

Because she's relaxed and she's also very warm and for a politician remarkably self sufficient

She wants something? She gets it . She brings food over for other and she checks in with people she's suprising tactile

And then Chelsea comes on and she like physically melts. And it's ... almost indescribable . And she goes "she's so pretty!!"

Yall everyone in that room knew better than to interrupt that lady gazing at her child and I realized she reminded me of my mom

My mom organized as a student her whole life and was labor organizer and did a lot "firsts" in Guyana

I jokingly refer to her hardness and stubbornness. But that warmth and ease I saw in Hillary reminded me of her .

She was the first to do mechanical engineering , pass the police exam , she was a youth organizer, drafted some stuff etc etc

( I prefer to use Hillary for this because a ) we know her b) im protective of my mom)

She did organizing a lot when I was young and i was in her pocket most of the time . And I was the only kid in the room

And I became very used to the idea that my mom would have to "gameface" in leftist organizing. I would legit not recognize her at times

My mom is a mean old lady but she's also BRILLIANT , and her operational analysis is staggering it is staggering

( she's not white American or educated etc so stretched metaphor is Stretched)

But as an adult ? Looking back it's pretty obvious that the "personality change" I kept seeing was her recognizing gender dynamics

She knew being a woman and having her child with her meant she would have to be even MORE forceful and strident

Because if anybody saw her be warm and maternal with me , they underestimated her

Post Sandy? Fuck whatever you heard and whatever ANYBODY tells you the logistics in Rockaway ? We're old ladies, most of em church ladies

And I watched FEMA, the government , volunteers and leftists be fucking TERRIBLE and condescending to a lot of people

But NOT my mom , because she barks on a motherfucker with the quickness . She fights her pastor, she fights, 1199, she Heismaned Cuomo

She not loud , she's not contained and when she's tired her accent is really thick. So she fucked up photo op

Because they wanted video of him talking to one of the " cute brown survivors" and she very levelly but forcefully cussed him out and pushed

Because fuck him . And that's what I recognized in Hillary and shit it's something I've seen older with @mamitamala at shit

Women especially mothers ? Have to adopt a kind of facade of hardness to get considered seriously as multifaceted

Like I make jokes about the "Aquarius fighting everyone" but it's also a real observation to how women are treated in spaces
