Am I being too optimistic in seeing this as an opportunity? Surely even MAGA-women object to someone being called a whore just because she’s successful? Surely even MAGA-women have limits to being treated as second class citizens? Surely even MAGA-women can connect that with old white men controlling their reproductive process and see the slippery slope they’re already flying down?
Never let yourself become convinced that conservatives will vote in their best interest. They aren't voting based on some logical paradigm, some set of criteria--they are voting on their emotions and their emotions are based on symbols. It's why the people who claim to be so proud of their Constitution know absolutely nothing about it.
The other replies are much more reactive, which I totally get given the discourse. I'd recommend a book called "Right Wing Women" by Dworkin to further explore this idea.
These MAGA women are likely trapped in their own belief, because their sense of self comes from the man that constantly dehumanizes them. If you escape, you are left with nothing (since that's what you have been indoctrinated to believe in). The only "out" is to be a good trad girl, and hope that the men praise you -- this is the only possible source of self-worth.
Not saying that this excuses their behaviour, but I hope this provides an additional layer of complexity rather than "MAGA women bad".
Maga-women have no principles, as is the case with most republicans
Wait. So you’re telling me that water, when applied to most things, tends to make those things… wet?!
ffs what next? Bears that live in the woods often shit in the woods? Many species of birds are known for their ability to fly?
well when your entire campaign strategy revolves around making absolutely sure that turnout is so low you get in by default, what did you expect
Very disgusting.
Descends?
Displays…
This is always who they were.
So they're saying Trump would sleep with her? Yeah I guess that's pretty insulting
Descends?
It’s going to get so much worse. “Joe and his ho” and “Kameltoe Harris” were very common things I’ve heard in the south.
yes! please keep doing this Republicans.....and louder, so that everyone can hear in the back.
Surprising nobody
So much for that unity message, huh?
But seriously, I think they just call every woman a whore that has any sort of power or station in life because they have zero respect for women. It's not that they think all women are whores, its that they don't thin women have any intelligence or skills and so to become someone with that kind of power, they must just be sleeping their way to the top. How else could they get that job/position?
At least they are finally being honest about what they are.
