Fucking crazy that it’s slight at this point…
America has a huge fucking problem
My thought exactly. That and somehow there are “undecided voters”. Like what are you waiting for? Does Trump have to personally dump on your face before you’ll be like “you know, maybe that dude isn’t the best choice.”
“Undecided voters” has felt like “ashamed to be Republican” voters to me for a long time.
Yep I’ve said it plenty. There’s no undecideds, just conservatives, centrists and wilfully ignorant people too afraid to publicly admit they’re Republicans.
By default Trump should have all woman voters voting against him, no matter who it is. I can’t understand how any woman could look at him or his ideas and think, yes, that’s best for me. Then again, I could say that about a lot of things and yet some women support them.
Brainwashing is a hell of a drug
Then there’s the ones who would vote in their own best interest, but can’t.
no one goes into the voting booth but you
True, if they make it that far. What about the mail in/drop off ballots where the husband fills out both?
I read somewhere that many women will vote how their husbands and families vote, even if it’s bad for themselves.
True of many things, probably. Peer pressure is as bad as brainwashing, or maybe a form of it.
As mistaken as I believe they are, I can see why some women support him.
Lots of single issue voters see him as the abortion ban guy. Also tons of people that don’t see “him and his ideas” per se, but are so immersed in conservative propaganda that they simply think “Trump presidency = my kids will be able buy a house and live a normal life”
Then there’s the backfire effect, where people tend to double down on their beliefs instead of correcting them when presented with contradictory data. Obviously makes it really hard to pull someone out of the cult, needs a pretty extraordinary set of circumstances in many cases.
Even then, usually it won’t stick. There’s a very well done essay, “The only moral abortion is my abortion” by Joyce Arthur, I highly recommend giving it a read. Women who faithfully protest at abortion clinics and harass other women will one day come in for their own abortion, and then be back to protesting the following day
But women love Trump! No president has ever done more for women than Trump!
