Aside from the corruption: leaning on cowboy imagery here isn’t just about an americana aesthetic— it’s about invoking the mythology of “taming the west” which lionizes white supremacy in North America. It evokes past purges of BIPOC people in a socially sanctioned manner with plausible deniability.
First, let's back up.
Noem has starred in a sprawling ad campaign she’s said is a crucial tool to stem illegal immigration—so crucial that DHS bypassed the normal competitive bidding process, designed to prevent waste & corruption in federal contracts www.propublica.org/article/kris...

The G in GOP stands for “grift”
NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

I’m guessing they think (1) winter only lasts a couple months and (2) that 30 degrees is cold.
Don Garber deflects a question about what kind of pushback they got from northern markets on this move. He admits that northern markets will suffer from this, but suggests that this is balanced by southern markets having suffered for years in the summer heat.

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
