        Did it work for them?

        No. It never does. But it might work for us.

      It’s been this way since the manchild of nightmares was reelected. Gaudy, ostentatious, and out of touch. There are no old money vibes; just smear gold on everything because taste is something you cannot buy.

        100% more like a Family Dollar during clearance season than ‘old money’.
