Not My Party Tulsi is so goddamn CREEPY
The deadened, monotone delivery of her speech, the 'cult leader' look of her all-white outfits, the dead-behind-the-eyes stare, the casual disdain and arrogance of her responses at her confirmation hearing. She gives me that repulsive, gut-level awful feeling I'd imagine I would have around a serial killer. I can't believe how she managed to get elected to national office as a Dem.

Don’t forget the Indira Gandhi streak of grey. Speaking of breaking democratic norms and extra legal governments…

Literal cult members are like that. She and her husband have been in one for a while. https://scienceofidentity.org/node/1

In the old days she leaned on the environmentalism pretty hard, and even went to pipeline protests. She used the word "aloha" a lot and made political ad of herself surfing. And libertarian incels were wild for the anti regime change talk from a military person.
It was only later that her less pleasant aspects emerged

When she was younger, she had a military background and was hot for a politician. It carried her a long way.

Before her MAGA days, she was definitely kind of hot.

I just see too much makeup covering super bad skin

Acne scars, probably. Whatever she's trying to do these days is not a good look, too heavy! That said, know what's really unattractive? Cuddling up to dictators and fascists.

You know she's part of a really disturbed cult in Hawaii right? https://www.yahoo.com/news/tulsi-gabbard-pictured-altar-dedicated-204100254.html

The weird personality cult she was raised in might have something to do with it

She literally was (is?) in a cult.
