7. Ridiculous

Looks like Emma Waters is indeed another Phyllis Schlafly, who traveled around the country and made a career out of telling women they shouldn't have careers. Waters has a JOB at the Heritage Foundation, so she isn't at home raising her kids and letting her husband rule over her, much like Erika Kirk, whose kids lost their father last year, and yet she is going around being onstage everywhere and talking about "merch." These women are playing a role - in fact, it seems like Kirk is constantly performing for the cameras.

I swear, most of these MAGA types literally believe they're on a reality show.
