Omg imagine if she ends up being the first female president?!? This is just silly, but i do love watching conservative infighting 🍿🥂
It reminds me of the interview that Jordon Klepper did with MAGA voters in 2016.
MAGA woman: A woman can't be president! If she has a hot flash or gets emotional, she could start a war!
Jordon: Haven't all wars been started by men?
MAGA woman: pause
I cannot wrap my brain around the mental path that leads any woman to support Donald Trump.
Like...why? What on earth does this candidate offer you?
I know a woman that is a trump supporter. She is also a christian evangelical and has been most of her life.
I think the reason she is a trump supporter is that her christian education has taught her that there is a hierarchy to reality.
That men are the protectors - God (a man in her world view) is the head of that
Women are the providers and submissive to men.
I think the bravado of trump appeals to her sense of reality, A strong "protector" man in charge. All of his limitations are not for her to question because she is the provider not the questioner.
Trust me, there is a seriously disturbing amount of genuinely misogynistic women out there. I've had the misfortune of dealing with them many times...
I asked my mother, so I can answer. She said if he is the Republican nominee, she will vote for him. Extended reasoning is "not a Democrat".
It's not about what people who vote from him will get, it's what he promises to take away from people they don't like.
Bigotry. Whether they realize it or not.
There's a great scene featuring a Donald Trump speech and a brainwashed MAGA woman in the latest Fargo season.
As a woman in my 40s I can't even tell you the number of wars I've started during a hot flash and I'm not even the commander in chief of the largest military in the world. If I were though I would have definitely launched nukes on at least 5 occasions just because I was hot for a few minutes.

Found the clip for the lazy: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Zdx97A63s#t=1m51s
Queen Boudica went to war with the Romans.
I mean after men raped her and her daughters.
Not to mention: killed her husband in the first fucking place.
Women get emotional over the smallest things.
For anyone who may want to upvote this dummy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica
That pause was loooong and incredibly awkward. You could practically hear the gears grinding in her head as she tried to reconcile the cognitive dissonance.
she'd quite frankly be worse than trump. nevermind the fact that she wants a national abortion ban and a national trans care ban
And that she's trying to tell everyone that slavery was a good thing for black people.
Isn't this stuff Trump also wants?
Trump probably personally doesn't care, but he knows he can say he wants those things to get support from Republicans.
yeah all republicans are bad but at least trump doesn't try to pretend he's a moderate
I mean, if it weren't for MAGA, she would trounce Biden in the general.
That's kinda what they're banking on, though...
I just can't see it happening from the party of religious patriarchy. These are the sort of folks who excommunicated women for wanting to become priests over a year ago, and that's just the moderate Catholics; Evangelicals would probably burn down the church.
I wish they fuckin' would, frankly
