Yup, I’d love to hear that her entire class of freshmen turn up wearing masks, and in a chorus, say “ our bodies, our choice. Bitch”
Only possibly without the last bit…

LOL - this sounds alot like Pro-Choice to me!
Maybe she’s more progressive than she realizes?
Or - maybe she’s a selfish, ignorant menace to society.

And what about when they brag about democracy. To me a fascist talking about democracy, freedom etc. has the same credibility of a porn star endorsing abstinence.
She’s just embracing whatever her voters want her to say; pretty sure that if ass shaped masks brought votes, she would happily wear one in public.

Knowing the typical Republican demagogue, I’m going to assume she’s maybe sorta had an abortion or two.

“But wah! I can’t tell the difference between a very minor inconvenience and oppression! I’ve grown up white and blonde, soooo much privilege! I just can’t!” - probably her.

We cannot rule out the possibility that she is so dumb she does not know this originates with pro-choice groups.
But what if QAnon isn’t the bottom either?

The GOP should just go ahead and add “Spreading COVID-19 as far as possible” to their party platform at this point.

And just like that, the right-wing was pro-choice.

Ruth Perry says
"The phrase seems first to have gained currency in the US in the mid to late sixties within the Black Power movement and the New Left, although the phenomenon—labeling certain acts and attitudes as right or wrong—must be as old as belief itself. (1)
(1) NOTES:!In a recent letter to the Chronicle of Higher Education (June 26, 1991),
Howard M. Ziff writes that he remembers the phrase used in the early 1950s as a euphemism for “party line”; but I have found no corroboration of this usage from historians of the Old Left, card-carrying members, or long-time associates.
There’s a 1952 essay on Yeats and “Censorship” that
reads in part
Some of Yeats’s biographers and critics, emphasizing his romantic nationalism and the supposed authoritarianism of his later years, have neglected his fight against censorship in Ireland, his sustained struggle to keep the human mind everywhere free to criticize, speculate, and create. The latest historian of the Abbey Theatre, Peter Kavanagh, makes clear that such success as Yeats had in Ireland was personal, since within a few months after his death in 1939 many pressure groups wrecked completely the artistic standards of the famous institution he had defended for forty years. Today the Abbey languishes with plays chosen not for excellence but because they are written in Gaelic or because they are theologically or politically “correct”; and Ireland maintains a moral censorship of printed matter so strict as to make her absurd—the 1948 list of Books Prohibited in Eire contains over two thousand titles. Yet from the beginning to the end of his life, as poet, playwright, theatre manager, and public man, Yeats never surrendered to the forces of repression…

And there are occasional references to the Communist World from that time to persons being politically incorrect, and sanctioned for contradicting the latest ideological fashion. Here’s a 1953 article on “The dialectic of Loyalty Tests” from an Hegellian condemning the Red Scare.
I shall argue that once our society was divided into the two opposing groups of the politically correct and the politically wrong, an Hegelian dialectic of forces erupted.

So, yes, the New Left probably got it from Mao’s Little Red Book, but the view of “politically correctness” as an oppressive force has pretty deep roots.
What’s wrong with being “politic”, or being “polite”?

“proudly”…WTF! Does one shamefully hide away their love of the changing of the American constitution by the process of ‘amendments’.
Ohhhh, sorry, this person likes guns.
“I proudly told my freshman class that masks are oppressive”
The word ‘proud’ in these two contexts is telling. Evangelical. Why the fuck would you be ‘proud’ of telling someone masks are oppressive unless you thought that you were passing on ‘the good news’, opening peoples eyes to your politics/ ideology/ religion.
Some sort of missionary zeal perhaps?
Walnut! I like this. I generally use ‘Muppet’ or ‘donut’

after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, bumper stickers extolling the “Power of Pride” became popular. All part of the Jingoism.

Maybe just hypersensitive, but I saw that as a call out to that other “Proud” group of “Boys.” Or “Whites.” Or both, of course. Lately, when those assholes talk about doing anything “proudly,” I mentally insert those other words.
