Teen Vogue used to be about make-up, fashion and how to snag a boyfriend. Not anymore. It’s frighteningly WOKE, with bells on. This issue 38 reasons to vote with mini essays from activists and Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. I am going to focus on just one, an alleged comedian named Ilana Glazer.
Teen Vogue has long been a bete noire for Victory Girls. Our Lisa has written extensively about the horror that is this publication for young girls. Our Lisa have long covered the poo stew that is Teen Vogue. You can read a few of her posts here, here, and here.
Just weeks a way from the 2020 Presidential Election, Teen Vogue has these writers, all social justice progosaurs, telling these teens to vote. The demographics for the publications are girls 13-19 years of age. Most of their audience cannot vote, but this is all about indoctrination, really. You can read the full article here. I would suggest standing near a brick wall if you do read it. It will save you time, when you want to bang your head against the wall.
Not being in the key demographic, I had never heard of Ilana Glazer before. She is on some show on Comedy Central. I have not watched Comedy Central in ages, since it lost its sense of humor. Glazer is about 33 years old and is listed as a writer, director, actress and comedian. She is also a progosaurus rex. In this video with females from The View, she explains “Voter Empowerment Dance Parties”:
Oh yeah, she is a laugh riot, not intentionally, mind you.
Here is the opening paragraph from her, um, uh, contribution:
C’mon, my li’l Teen Vogue reader sweeties – yes, you, bb! If you’re feeling disempowered and discouraged about this election, I feel you. We Americans are being bullied and lied to on the daily by the guy with the loudest mic. My mind and heart hurt. But in November, we have the chance to change the course of our country back to a democracy, and we can do it. WE CAN DO THIS, MA YOUTHS.
Just so you know, “bb” means “baby”. Donald Trump is, presumably, the “guy with the loudest mic”. Teens, I am sure, don’t feel bullied by President Trump. They are too busy being mean to the other girls in their virtual home room. And, this “lied to” thing. I came across that this weekend. One of my lifelong friends alleged that President Trump has told 18,000 lies since his inauguration. She must have gotten that number from the Washington Post. That’s approximately 19 lies or misleading claims per day, or nearly one per hour. I would like to remind everyone that not everything that you disagree with is a lie. And, we cannot change the course of our country back to a democracy, we have a Republic. I never want to live in a democracy.
Ilana Glazer’s next paragraph:
Young people have proven they are ready to lead the culture. The multiracial momentum around the #BlackLivesMatter movement has proved this. Our generation galvanizing around the climate crisis with the #FridaysForFuture demonstrations has proved this. Young people know what’s important: the planet and its people. F**kin’ DUH! And the most efficient and effective way we can achieve safety for our planet and the people on it, and to keep America running, is to vote.
I don’t see a multiracial movement around BLM. I see a biracial movement. I see wypipo and black people. I don’t see Asians or Indians out there protesting. They are sitting back and minding their own business. They don’t want anything to do with the mostly peaceful riots.
And, mercifully, this is the last paragraph:
Vote. Register to vote, make a voting plan, and vote 45 out. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are our ticket out of this racist, fascist, authoritarian nightmare. That’s it. That’s what we got this year. Join me in partaking in the process, and let’s make it ours.
Ilana Glazer doesn’t know what fascist or authoritarian mean. If Donald Trump were fascist or authoritarian, Miss Glazer wouldn’t be free to say what she says, in her mindless brain droppings. Also, the President has left the Covid-19 decisions down to the lowest local level. Joe Biden has claimed he would have the authority for a national mask mandate. Who is the fascist/authoritarian?
Ilana Glazer is just another know nothing New York type. She’s a bore. What’s important is that parents know what young people are reading. Hopefully, it’s not Teen Vogue.

Yeah, sure. I overheard a gaggle of teenyboppers just the other day complaining about corporate taxes being far too low.
I would rather my children learn HOW to think, not be told WHAT to think and who to vote for. What is more oppressive than someone telling you how to think and vote?
“…about make-up, fashion and how to snag a boyfriend.”
How odd. That’s what the original Vogue was all about.
We Americans are being bullied and lied to on the daily by the guy with the loudest mic.
Says the person on mainstream media and helping write for a magazine with huge circulation (at least used to be) and who has her own tv show. You know how we keep talking about “projection”, proggies? Yeah, about that…
to change the course of our country back to a democracy
Well, there’s some ignorance for ya…….
Teens, I am sure, don’t feel bullied by President Trump.
Oh, I bet they do. Because they’re told constantly by their teachers and media and pop stars and comedians and everyone else in their info bubble that they are.
Young people have proven they are ready to lead the culture.
Depends on your definition of “ready”. If you mean “eager” despite being ignorant fools that won’t listen to their elders, then you’re right. If, by “ready”, you mean prepared with wisdom and knowledge and a discerning spirit, then hell no, they’re not ‘ready’!
Young people know what’s important: the planet and its people.
And they’re filled with ignorance and foolishness about how to handle it. DUH!
make a voting plan
OK. “When I get home from work, walk down to the polling place and stand in line to vote.”
Seriously, you people need to plan that?
(OK, I can see planning for an absentee ballot. Making sure you take an hour or so to swing by the registrar’s office because it’s out of your way, ask for your absentee ballot, fill it out, and hand it back in.)
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are our ticket out of this racist, fascist, authoritarian nightmare.
I’m guessing you really don’t know what any of the words after ‘this’ even mean.
Oh, hey, Toni said that! 😉
