(1) Thread: Nancy Pelosi's hair salon visit: A Kiwi perspective.
Summary: She couldn't have picked a worse example of her Marie Antionette views.
(In New Zealand, "Kiwi" means NZer, or our national bird, the Kiwi. The fuzzy skinned green fruit is called Kiwifruit here.🥝🇳🇿)

(2) I vividly remember how much I needed a haircut during NZ's main covid lockdown period of 5 weeks from March to May 2020.
Women voters get it more than men do, on average.
With so many aspects of daily life stripped away, looking good became even more important to us.

(3) We never considered what it would be like to not be able to maintain our hair coloring routine. Having gray hair showing at the roots is a big deal for many women.
Women in San Fran, where lockdown insanity has dragged on for longer than most, are especially angry w Pelosi.

(4) I thought living through 5 weeks of lockdown was bad enough, but in parts of AU, the UK and the US, it's been an uninterrupted 6 months, with no end in sight.
In August NZ went back into a partial lockdown (1.5M out of 5M people) for spurious reasons, which has been rough.

(5) Pelosi's defenders are trying to spin her disaster as no big deal but this is where they get it wrong, so many times.
They are completely out of touch with how the ordinary man or woman in the street feels.
We've known for years this is a big problem for Democrats.

(6) NZ's now-fired Minister of Health, David Clark, was snapped driving to a park for mountain-biking exercise during lockdown. At a time we the plebs were only allowed to walk down our own street for exercise and a sanity break.
Similar things happened in many countries.

(7) What these forced errors achieve is that they help people wake up, politically.
First, the politician breaks a lockdown rule.
Then they try denial, blame & minimization.
A few even attack the victim, eg a business owner who gets death threats.
Voters are watching.👀

(8) Marie Antionette's fate should be seen by politicians as a salutary lesson.
Nothing drives voters to your opponent more effectively than dropping the mask and revealing your true nature.
And @realDonaldTrump enticed you to do this.😉
