The fact that MAGA women will defend and will submit to the misogyny and the abusive treatment from these men is remarkable. It’s important to understand that women have fought for everything they have (along with men who know their predicament), and it is unconscionable to surrender these rights. Trump has destroyed women’s rights over their bodies and their souls, turning them into men’s property. To see him gaslighting women for their vote is shameful.

This is how Mussolini and Hitler came to power, It's not shameful, it is horrifying and history is repeating itself.

“ To see him gaslighting women for their vote is shameful.”

Shameful? Let’s face it, it appears most people, both men and women, do not want to do the work of free thought. It is a lot of never-ending work;

Never-the-less, some behavior is so egregious, one wouldn’t need a lot of thought to recognize it as bad behavior. It doesn’t take deep dives into philosophy to recognize a pile of shit to not step into it.

So what does that say about humanity? There are those, sentinels, who can think and observe the herd and those that just want to be part of the herd.

I see herd behavior on both sides but MAGA is the herd that is OK frolicking in the smelly shit.

I'm 67 and have never seen such a virulent attack on women's freedom as what I'm seeing from MAGA. I actually believed that men didn't dictate how their wives voted anymore. Using the bible to justify it is emotional and spiritual blackmail against religious women. It's playing dirty in a country that once believed in the separation of church and state, and in human rights.

Trump should be in prison, not the Oval Office. The most pitiful thing is that this race is so close. This shouldn't be happening.

When you add in the right wing freak out that the ‘right’ people aren’t having enough babies, it’s not a huge leap of logic to realize what these people really want from women.

They want them to be barefoot and pregnant as the saying goes, and they want them silenced. It’s also why they have no respect for women past child bearing years other than as child care servants.

It’s a wonder they didn’t add an appendix to Project 2025 formalizing the restrictions on women embodied in “The Handmaid’s Tale.”

The Handmaid’s Tale is codified by religions.

If Harris wins, expect them to turn the misogyny up to 11. Dems will have cucked the country, the US is now a beta nation, etc. Hatred of women is foundational; if you think a black President made republicans crazy, wait until you see what a woman President does.

I wasn't even a part of society from 2014-2023. It blows my mind that I got out into a world where people who consider themselves "real men" listen to the likes of Tucker Carlson and Charlie Kirk. It's like it's 1992, and guys are taking fitness tips from Steve Urkel.
