Remember how taken the U.S. media was with Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, especially after she gave a “deadly side-eye” to Vice President Mike Pence at the Winter Olympics?

Now, with reports that Kim Jong Un is either dead or brain-dead, there’s plenty of chatter around his sister taking over the country, and some blue-checks seem pretty taken with the idea that North Korea would have its first female leader before the United States — never mind because she’s Kim’s sister.
They seem pretty excited about it:

Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, is about to become one of the the most Googled people on the planet. She also looks like she's going to completely own Trump in every possible negotiation scenario. . . pic.twitter.com/B8yWviZ0y5

Don’t you mean Biden?
If Kim Jong Un ends up dying and his evil sister takes over, I vow to you all right here and now that I will dunk on any & all hot takes that even hint that a woman taking over the family business of running a starving nuclear prison state is some sort of victory for feminism.
