Good lord they're really telling on themselves with this one aren't they?
So it is "amoral" to tell women that they can make their own decisions. Thanks for clearing that up, Newt.
I'm willing to take bets that sometime in the Future there will be a call from Republicans for a new law that allows husbands to see how their wives have voted.
To protect Family values.... And to stop disharmony in the marriage.....
And, of course, to prevent voter fraud.......
If the Conservatives had their way, women would not be allowed to vote at all. Unfortunately, that still seems to be one of their goals. I mean, Trump and his henchmen have already made sure that women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies, which I have to admit I thought was impossible in a Western country. What makes you think they're going to leave it at taking away women's right to a secret ballot? These people want to reverse advances in civilization like women's right to vote all together. That's what conservative means to them: back to the Middle Ages. In this sense, they are little different from other religious extremists such as the Taliban. Their goals might be a little different but their means are pretty much the same.
If conservatives had their way, men would vote on behalf of their wives and unmarried adult daughters.
I can't imagine (as a unmarried guy) living in a marriage where my wife would be afraid to tell me who she voted for. Even if she votes Trump, she's my spouse, and that comes way before that. She should chew me out if I make her feel afraid.
...It makes me feel shame for the culture some men are raised in.
I don't know. If my wife voted for Trump she knows I'd leave her, so I can imagine she wouldn't tell me if she did. Not to mention she'd have to have been lying about her entire personality the whole time we knew eachother XD.
I’d you’re married to someone who has opposite political views than you , your marriage probably has a lot of issues and voting secrecy is way down on the list. You don’t need to be perfectly aligned but mostly.
Depends upon how extreme the differences are. Arnold Schwarzenegger - who's a moderate Republican (thankfully supporting Harris) - was married to Maria Shriver from the infamously Democrat-heavy Kennedy family for well over a quarter century. Bill Clinton's (in)famous campaign adviser, James Carville, had been married to a well known Republican counterpart (Mary Matalin) since the early '90s.
At this course, the US Taleban is about to meet the handmaid's tale...
..... and this kids is a great example of why you should support encryption.
This is why you should know who you marry before you get married.
Stop letting regressive religion control your lives.
Religious people typically enforce their oppression with abuse and violence.
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
And just why does she have to lie about it to her "sweet" husband?...
probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life
Yeah, she probably sits on her ass all day anyway. The kids raise themselves! The audacity of these women to have been born with an ungrateful vagina smh
My wife would beat the shit out of me if I didn’t vote for Kamala, and I’d deserve it, and enjoy it.
More like rotten
In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.
“If your husband is mad at this ad, then this ad was made for you.”
I'm mad that it's 2024 and this ad needs to exist
I'm mad it's 2024 and we need to check notes
Make sure women don't have rights stripped away
And I'm just mad that it's 2024!
Right? The 20th century ended almost a quarter of a century ago. So mad.
What about the husband vote cancelling out the wives vote?
Both humans have agency. If you are going to frame the issue as treachery, then the husband shouldn't vote against his wife. Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
Fuck that.
They believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.
Yokels voting for Trump be like "Yeah I'm earning the 5$/h so I make the big decisions in this House!"
Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
To conservatives it's this one.

That's so weird that the nazi husbands who would give their wife a black eye for voting for kamala would fly into a rage about something.
It's bonkers that the people who can't stfu about FREEDOMS are the ones who want to strip everyone else's away
Waiting for the article from the NYT about how this is bad for Harris' polling with police officers.

they cannot say they did not see it coming after the loud royal fucking theyve been crowing about for so long
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
These idiots really miss the fact that most women can, and, in fact, must work. This idea of a "sweet" husband who works to provide for his family is so outdated it's absurd.

Sooo if you're a potential husband with a penis, vote for Trump for the following reasons:
-
Guaranteed husbandry or at least fatherhood. Just go out there and fuck someone, they gotta have the kid no matter what. Your cum is valuable.
-
Ah yes. You think I forget? You can grab them by the pussy....if you're famous. So go out there, fuck somebody, be famous and grab them by the pussy!
3)Earn a second vote. You heard me right. You can't incriminate each other and therefore her vote is your vote.
Now go out there and vote! Vote Trump! Fight the enemy within. It's just not right! Bikini at the pool and allowed to vote? Heck no! Women should be prepared for being attached to a 4x4 in the bedroom permanently for the sole purpose of making love to the man. And sometimes for having babies, but hurry up with that, and don't feed babies breast milk at the park. And those naked things that happen in California the gay, Oregon and the independent country of Washington State, those gotta go!
You fucking imbecile. If women are locked in the bedroom how can they make dinner?? Moran

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., joined the criticism Thursday, telling Fox News that Democrats are telling wives to lie to their husbands: “What kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed?”
Ah yes, the guy who has cheated on multiple wives is talking about amorality and corruption.
He's not the only conservative paragon of virtue that's having a hissy-fit over it either:
Fox News host Jesse Watters said on the air last week that if his wife did the same as the women in the ad, it would violate “the sanctity of our marriage.”
“If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Watters said, a remark that prompted many online to call him out for his marital affair, which he admitted to in 2018.
Not just an affair, an affair with his current wife he was calling out. Who he started the affair by being a massive stalker and letting air out of her tires so she'd ask him for a ride.

Awww your wife isn't your property?? 😢
The guy who helped create the ad even says
“They took a person’s sanctity of their ballot and turned it into a conversation about men owning the behaviors of the women in their life,” Pagitt said. “And like, well, I didn’t think you were going to make our point for us. We’re very grateful that you did.”

This is the Bear vs a Strange man all over again and they still don’t get it.
