    Imagine how little self-respect you’d have to have to be a woman and vote Republican.

      Making sure that women have very little self-respect is one of the primary functions of American Evangelicalism.

      There is a real lack of critical thinking, too. I legit know a few Republican women that honestly think that not eating meat will make a man effeminate, and that men that eat meat are more manly.

      Obviously due to stupid marketing, but even in their cinematic universe where this is “true” it makes no sense and has no consistency. I’ve asked them if they think that women that eat meat are going to spontaneously sprout a penis.

      Not a USA citizen, but a Hungarian, but I think some stuff still holds ground in the USA ground: They primarily think these right-wing radicals are just “jolly little conservatives”, and not radicals, since they call themselves “conservatives”. Contrary to the naive liberal belief, conservatism isn’t just a jolly little belief of personally held traditions and healthy patriotism, it’s just “fascism lite” which will turn full-out fascism once the checks and balances are removed, or getting extremely frustrated with social change.

      And also there’s the whole “you will get more conservative as you get older” propaganda, which makes a lot of young people “skip the liberalism and fast-forward to the inevitable”, and they either want to remain conservatives because “jolly little belief of personally held traditions and healthy patriotism”, or they believe they can’t leave. Many also go down the hate road, and they’ll get called all kinds of names if they forgive wrongdoers who were part of a minority, and they don’t weaponize that wrongdoing into genocidal thoughts. We seriously need to counter this whole “you will get more conservative as you get older” with something. Can someone contact Innuendo Studios? I have an idea for an episode of “The Alt-Right Playbook” if he still haven’t made one on this topic.

      Well surely it was never going to affect them. They are one of the good ones, it’s the others that need to be controlled. Why would they ever come for me if I am living a proper God fearing life?

        Lydia, it’s because you vote for forcing others to do things they don’t believe in, not the specific things that are targeted at this moment

      They unironically think Harris was some kind of monster and that it was all worth it to keep trans out of sports.

        Well, if we stopped babying women and treated them like adults, then maybe this would seem more farfetched.

        How do we treat women like babies? You keep popping up here and you never provide examples or evidence to support your perspective/argument.

        Unfortunately, most women think being treated as an adult is being “unfair” to them because they’re so used to being treated like children.

        How to tell everyone you are an incel without directly saying so. When did trolling become this sad.

          That’s because I get censored without being able to engage in an actual discussion.

          Lol, keep covering your ears to truths you don’t like. I don’t expect more from you people at this point.

            I just asked you to give your reasoning and you are bitching about being censored. I’ll ask again, how do women get treated like babies… Or do you not have the ability to articulate your point?

            Only an idiot would think that was a good reply.

            Try again?

              You’re not the one with the power to censor me, and I’ve been censored already for trying to discuss reality.

              I can tell you’re upset at me because I say hard truths you don’t like. I’m going to block you now because you’re going to keep pestering me to satisfy your herd mentality.

              Goodbye.

                Why can’t you answer my question?

                I can tell you’re upset at me because I say hard truths you don’t like. I’m going to block you now because you’re going to keep pestering me to satisfy your herd mentality

                You have yet to present a single truth so far, so why would I be upset? You can’t even explain your “truth” when asked multiple times.

                Goodbye.

                Run away.
