“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

― The Great Gatsby (1925)

3. Is she trying to look like a Roman goddess?

"When in Rome..." doesn't quite fit the spawn of the orange blob. They look like cheap trash no matter what gorgeous backdrop or designer outfit is used.

5. The last sentence of The Great Gatsby

“And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”

We will be fighting these monsters and their true believers the rest of our lives.

6. The passage fits them perfectly,

as if written for them. Accurately describes the entire Klan, actually.

7. Although I've always considered this work by F. Scott Fitzgerald as one of the most...

...contrived books ever, I will still kick and rec this post anyway!

8. Ivanka wants her voice to be full of money, but it's full of phony.
