It's weird how they act like they are mentally retarded as a flex and that actual mentally divergent people are so much more normal.
In my heart I know their emotions are being toyed with by criminals.
And I'm not even a lefty.
Descends?
Displays…
This is always who they were.
I remember when political attacks where factual. The republikkklowns just make shit up now, it's so childish it's honestly sad. They are no longer a political party, they're just trash.
"subhuman trash". please be sure to dehumanize them when you can. it's important.
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?
The choice of Kamala might be brilliant. The Republicans have already been showing their ass over abortion rights, and now that they've gotten used to saying the quiet part out loud their blatant misogyny towards Kamala will make it harder for them to sell "it won't get any worse."
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".
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.
Maga-women have no principles, as is the case with most republicans
At least they are finally being honest about what they are.
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
If straight as an arrow, happily married Kamala Harris is a whore, what does that make our convicted, porn star fucking, wife cheating, child molesting ex president Trump?
A STUD of course!! Haven’t you been paying attention?!
/s
That's literally the mentality -_-
Expect a lot more like this. It's all they have.
And they are going to be driven nuts by everyone pointing how unprecedented it is to have someone as old as Dementia Donnie in the general...
Descend? Pfff, that's their playground
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?
Psst- did you know the Pope is Catholic?
Yea and surface of the sun is hot
Misleading headline. Whatever it is they are "descending" into, they passed through misogyny quite a while back.
Incredible how mask-off they've become over the last eight years. And we somehow tolerate it as though this is somehow acceptable behavior. Society should shun anyone who acts like this.
We don't. The cult with two brain cells fighting for third place however, gets off on that shit.
So they're saying Trump would sleep with her? Yeah I guess that's pretty insulting
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.
There was a regular poster on Denver Post comments that would call her "heels-up Harris" - and the DP moderators would almost never ever take that down. So they were complicit in that.
Good. This will piss off women voters.
Except the trumper women. Many of them are totally cool with misogynistic stuff as long as it’s against an other. One of the first reactions I saw to this sudden Kamala situation was a woman posting a still image of Harris talking with an O-shaped mouth. Then some obvious degrading comment about being ready to do her job or whatever.
They’re lost, may as well write them down forever. Doesn’t matter, though. This election will be won at the margins.
Yeah, I’m not too hopeful about them suddenly becoming rational.
exactly. we have gaslit them into a path of pitfalls.
