    Probably. I would expect any politician of any gender to be wearing makeup when they’re on television. TV makeup is very normal.

      For most cis hetero men, some powder to reduce the shine of the bright lights in front of the camera is normal. Guyliner is not.

      Lighter skinned men on tv mostly have makeup to counter the bright lights so they don’t appear pasty. They don’t generally go for strong eyeliner as part of that makeup.

      Vance is a terrible person who opposes anything involving LGBTQ+ folks. His not following the strict gender roles he promotes is worthy of mocking.

        Oh, I agree 100%. But he’s done so many other things that are a stronger case than TV makeup. Like how his wife is an educated, accomplished lawyer instead of a pregnant-and-barefoot tradwife.

        Fucking a couch “allegedly”.

        The crazy cat lady comments were fuckin’ weird and unprofessional, especially for some at the national political level. That’s like Libertarian party stripping naked kind of weird.

        His straight up awkward gooberiness is a stronger criticism than TV makeup.

        TV makeup is weak.
