The fact these men are angry about this is exactly the reason these women need to vote for their candidate of choice secretly. My goodness these people can only feel their worth by oppressing others, even if (perhaps especially if) it’s their own wife or family. What a sad existence.

Or women can just divorce their conservative husbands.

The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is when you try to leave it.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 4 days ago

Fine, women can poison their conservative husbands.

[-] Tagger@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Seems reasonable

Soon that may no longer be possible :(

If you're angry about the ad, guess what, you're the problem and probably an abusive, worthless, shitty husband. Sucks to have to look in the mirror, doesn't it?

[-] Gustephan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

This ad targets women who are married to men who view women as property. Pick any 10 random towns off I-10 in Florida and see how women are treated there and you'll understand how widespread of a problem this still is. It's depressing that this ad needs to exist, but it does need to exist right now.

gotta love conservative-minded crowd: they are all about "privacy", personal freedoms etc. but at the same time can't keep their hands out of others' pants (proverbially and literally) and are nosy about everything. Isn't voting a personal choice? If my spouse doesn't tell me who they vote for I'll just say it's their right and move on with my life... but not cons... noooooo. Gotta stick their noses everywhere

They want the freedom to do their own monitoring without consequences.

I thought the ads were for fringe cases but apparently a considerable number of women are expected to vote for their husband's candidate of choice instead of just agreeing to disagree like functional adults who care about each other's opinions

[-] grue@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

If the situation were reversed and my wife "agreed to disagree" by supporting a fascist, I freely admit that it would cause me to have serious doubts about our relationship.

That isn't to say the MAGA husbands' views are justified -- quite the opposite! It's to say that moral relativism is bullshit and being judged for supporting fascism is not equivalent to being judged for opposing it.

Fucking nutjobs.

"AH DEMAND MA PRIVACY, BUT MA WIFE DONT GET NERN."

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

LOL, the qons, revealing who they truly are.

Always remember stuff like this when some con pipes up with what True Conservatism (TM) is really about, or some "centrist" in the "liberal media" starts their mansplaining about the same...this is what it's all really about, people. The bullshit about "small government" and the miracles of the free market and so on is just a load of horse manure.

[-] LANIK2000@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

It's honestly not even that offensive of a video. If I saw the exact opposite, I'd think it's dumb and move on. The fact that people are outraged speaks volumes. Both to the truth of the matter and the fact that they aren't oblivious to it.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

If you are angry at this ad, have you considered taking up chain smoking?

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I am angry that we even need to create this ad. Should i still consider taking up chain smoking?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
