In "1984", Orwell absolutely, perfectly described Karoline Leavitt.

Last edited Sat Mar 7, 2026, 10:53 PM - Edit history (1)

“She had a bold, aquiline face, a face that one might have called noble until one discovered that there was as nearly as possible nothing behind it. Very early in her married life he had decided—though perhaps it was only that he knew her more intimately than he knew most people—that she had without exception the most stupid, vulgar, empty mind that he had ever encountered. She had not a thought in her head that was not a slogan, and there was no imbecility, absolutely none that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her. ‘The human sound-track’ he nicknamed her in his own mind."

…even including the "attractive face" it fits Noem and Bondi and all the MAGA-faced Barbies, but outside of the physical aspect…it describes literally every front-facing idiot in this administration. Stupid, vulgar, empty minds indeed…

First an image, preferably with nothing behind it. Then...

"She had without exception the most stupid, vulgar, empty mind that he had ever encountered."

"She had not a thought in her head that was not a slogan.."

"..no imbecility, absolutely none that she was not capable of swallowing if the Party handed it out to her."

It's not just her. It's everyone they could cram into this horrible version of a government. And then add all the people who understood that and just saw their own advantage.
