Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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
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.
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".
Bigotry. Whether they realize it or not.
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.
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.

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.
