      My mom was one of those women who voted for Trump. And you know what? She’s a moron. She literally doesn’t pay any attention to politics and just votes for whoever my dad votes for. My dad votes for whoever is running republican. Ugh.

      The thing is, my mom had a septic miscarriage between me and older sibling. She had a dnc to remove to the rotting fetus because she was going to die. One of the last conversations we had I tried to explain to her that she’d be dead today if the laws in red states were in place back then. She ignored me. Literally just stopped talking and ended the conversation.

      My mom is so stupid she’s a fucking hazard.

      I’m estranged from my family, have been for years. But I’d like to guess a good chunk of the women who voted for trump are like my mom. Braindead. The other chunk actively like trump and are openly nazis. The brain dead ones are too stupid to notice they’re wearing nazi uniforms.

      But I guess that’s an accurate description of people who voted for trump in general. Stupidity doesn’t care what gender you are, it still makes you dumb as fuck.

      Unfortunately 46% of women voted Trump.

      58% of white women specifically, although Trump improved almost across the board from his 2020 performance.

      I wouldn’t be fooled by percentages, though. A huge part of this shift was Dem turnout degradation. She saw a historic sag in turnout from Biden peak.

      It’s not that women or Latino men or GenX or whatever preferenced Trump so much as the younger voters gave up on a Dem party that had given up on them.

        Well I think dem women not showing up to defend their bodily autonomy via the first woman president is as much or more damning than voting for Trump.

          According to an article that was recently posted by a Harris phone banker, there are disturbing numbers of otherwise liberal minded women who don’t think a woman would make a good president. This country is so fucking backwards.

      Everyone is retarded and the capital class owns all the large media outlets and the capital class are the major political donors and the capital class likes Republicans because they can make more money when they are in charge. This election was an uphill battle to begin with. Dunking on women is not going to be productive.

            So much of this is ultimately why the Ds lost. The candidates screening “I hope when Trump takes office you all fucking die” are maybe not the ones people want to vote for.

              I have spent decades listening to these people wish just as awful shit on me. I have also watched decades of being the bigger person not work. Maybe there will be no lesson learned without suffering the consequences of their actions, that they wish upon others.

      46% of women who voted voted Trump.

      Many stayed home because Kamala was running on a platform of maintaining the status quo in a time when no one is happy with the status quo except rich liberals.

      Blame Democrats for courting the right to get votes instead of even giving lip-service to progressives. For a lot of people that proved that there is no real difference between the parties and working class people just get fucked either way.
