Unfortunately 46% of women voted Trump. So I guess they like this?
I know a few hardcore Christian women who voted for Trump. Anti-choice is a hell of a drug.
Religious Fundamentalist women have a tougher mental barrier to get through than most. For the Christian fundies I grew up with, women 1] are literally created FOR men (1 Corinthians 11:9), 2] have been deemed by God as incapable of governing themselves, so they must be ruled by their husbands (Genesis 3:16), and 3] must vow to Obey their husbands as they would God Himself.
Like Jovial's story about the miscarriage. The bible decrees that if women have trouble with a pregnancy, it's because they're not trusting and faithful enough (1 Timothy 2:15), so if she is a fundie, she likely thinks her lifesaving abortion was a result her failure to believe enough. Her God literally says that if she had died back then, then she brought it on herself. It's all inculcated woman-hating victim-blaming Family Values rot.
If there's a club for that, I'm in it too.
I literally don't understand how my mom gets through day-to-day life. It's just a matter of time before her bank accounts are drained by a scammer because no matter how many times I try to explain it to her, she believes everything she sees online as long as it reinforces something she already believes. If it challenges her beliefs she ignores it.
She got an email that said she owed money to an internet service provider she doesn't use, and hasn't ever used. Obvious scam, right? She knows she doesn't use them, but the email seemed "Truthy" so she was really worried that she owed them money. There's no way to convince her that it's a scam because even facts like "that's not your ISP, you don't and have never used that ISP" can't penetrate.
She trusts memes more than family members who have degrees in something and are willing to patiently explain it to her. She spends a lot of money buying snake oil, or overpaying for things she can get essentially for free (i.e. buying bottled water because she's afraid of fluorine in municipal water). This has made me realize what a huge amount of the world's economy isn't people buying things they need, or even things they want because it makes their lives better, it's people buying things they don't need because they're afraid of something that isn't real.
Anyhow, yeah, Trump won the idiot vote, and he's going to make changes to the US that will increase the number of idiots. Things are going great.
People tend to prioritize the comfort of those closest to them over anyone else, themselves most of all. Expressing different political views could cause problems in their families or communities so they'll keep quiet and just go about their lives thinking it's not going to affect them. Better to risk the lives of strangers, or even nieces, than risk losing their marriage. It's why "First they came for..." is so powerful - we can see ourselves in it.
58% of white women specifically, although Trump improved almost across the board from his 2020 performance.
I wouldn't be fooled by percentages, though. A huge part of this shift was Dem turnout degradation. She saw a historic sag in turnout from Biden peak.
It's not that women or Latino men or GenX or whatever preferenced Trump so much as the younger voters gave up on a Dem party that had given up on them.
Well I think dem women not showing up to defend their bodily autonomy via the first woman president is as much or more damning than voting for Trump.
According to an article that was recently posted by a Harris phone banker, there are disturbing numbers of otherwise liberal minded women who don't think a woman would make a good president. This country is so fucking backwards.
That shows how abuse makes you support the abuser. Like a violent relationship.
Everyone is retarded and the capital class owns all the large media outlets and the capital class are the major political donors and the capital class likes Republicans because they can make more money when they are in charge. This election was an uphill battle to begin with. Dunking on women is not going to be productive.
I'll just wish them all a happy ectopic pregnancy.
Fucking gross, you ghoul.
Seethe
They wanted it, they can enjoy it
Conservatives have signed on for fascism, I hope they rot slowly while alive in front of everyone they love, maybe then they'll learn, but I fuckin doubt it
Aren't you the sad sack who gets off thinking about killing your father-in-law and blowing up your local ISP?
Awwww that's cute, you think having conviction is sad!
Seethe harder, it's hilarious
Thought I recognized your name, LARPer.
Hey, if youre a coward who can't back up what they say online IRL that's on you, not me
So much of this is ultimately why the Ds lost. The candidates screening "I hope when Trump takes office you all fucking die" are maybe not the ones people want to vote for.
I have spent decades listening to these people wish just as awful shit on me. I have also watched decades of being the bigger person not work. Maybe there will be no lesson learned without suffering the consequences of their actions, that they wish upon others.
46% of women who voted voted Trump.
Many stayed home because Kamala was running on a platform of maintaining the status quo in a time when no one is happy with the status quo except rich liberals.
Blame Democrats for courting the right to get votes instead of even giving lip-service to progressives. For a lot of people that proved that there is no real difference between the parties and working class people just get fucked either way.
I know at least 2 women who are Republican. Who say Trump is great. I get told by 1 of them, that I can't have a view on U.S. politics because I am Canadian. Well, he affects Canada the most, and it is called geopolitics.
