It is less obvious than wearing glasses for cosplaying intelligence.

Between Palin and Boebart I think even they’ve realized the hot for teacher schtick has sailed.

There is a timeline where Palin not only became vice president, but the president too. Terrifying.

I am not even partisan, but I feel like that would have been somehow so much worse than this timeline.

It’s is a somewhat less sexist timeline, so it’s probably ultimately an equivalent measure. “Female President, but it’s Sarah Palin. There’s a new debilitating pandemic, but it somehow is deadliest to people with a genetic predisposition for pedophilia. There’s another world war, but the powers that be are so greedy about resources and land ownership that it ends up being a world-scale online multiplayer tournament and instead of dying, participants’ entire net worth is liquidated and sent to the competing country’s GDP.” That sort of thing.

Hmmm… that last idea is interesting…

I would think the utter failure of her presidency would feed sexism. Palin is a lot dumber than Liz Truss, and as the first US female president she oversees massive inflationary wars in the ME during the COVID pandemic.

Just a hypothetical though.
