Its weird that women make up a large portion to me. All the MAGAts at my work talk so much shit about women its insane. Everyday I have to hear twenty false generalizations about women because half of them are divorced.

Internal misogyny is a hell of a drug.
In terms of demographics, MAGA Republicans diverged from other Republican groups in several ways. They were more likely to be female and less likely to have a bachelor’s or postgraduate degree or a household income exceeding $150,000. This profile suggests a unique demographic makeup of this political faction.
...interesting.
"...There is good news in the lack of willingness to engage in violence, but it comes with a caveat: support for violence by the unwilling may enable the willing to proceed.”
so, primarily, a group of hateful, apathetic cowards. that tracks and the term "useful idiot" leaps to mind.
They were more likely to be female
...interesting.
Anecdotally, I feel like a lot of the hardcore anti-vax, anti-science, etc conservatives are women who've been sucked into various conspiracy circles on social media. Seems like they're often undereducated stay at home moms who are somewhat socially isolated. Basically the same demographic that typically gets targeted by pyramid schemes.
That's just one subgroup in MAGA-land, so it's still interesting that women seem to be such a majority in that wing of the party.
Looking at the numbers, they're only slightly more likely to be female. E: but yeah, it is hard to fathom. Although religious women tend to take all the misogynistic BS to heart. So maybe that is part of it?
True story.
After the pussy grabber tape came out, a Conservative woman when on The View TV show to defend Donnie. One of the panelists kept repeating the phrase 'pussy gabber' over and over. The Conservative woman asked he to stop using that offensive term.
I remember how they kept acting like the term "pussy" was the issue, too: "locker room talk". And not the fact that he was bragging about sexually assaulting women.
People were not upset over the term pussy. At least not normal people. That gaslighting concern troll on The View sounds like they were moralizing over the term, but the term itself was not the issue. The orange jesus could have said he grabs them by the swim suit area and it's no different.
He was on Howard Stern's radio show and boasted about walking into the dressing room at the Miss Teen USA pageant. A self admitted perv.
Of all sad words of tongue and pen the saddest are these: Hillary was right again.
Trump: is disgusting, a rapist, demented, a fraud, smells like shit
Everyone-not-MAGA: what the hell is wrong with you people
Science: Something is wrong with those people. We have numbers.
Everyone-not-MAGA: uh, yeah? That’s obscenely obvious?
Science: [repeat]
You are missing the point and misrepresenting science. The reason to do science isn't to point things out, and that's not what they're doing here. They're not starting with the conclusion (except that it's perhaps the impetus to form various hypotheses).
Science tries to determine why things happen, and scientists make conclusions (and maybe more hypotheses) based on where the evidence leads. Figuring out why there's something wrong with these people is not a fruitless endeavor, because if we know why, we can potentially rectify it.
Edit: clarification
Well, duh. 🙄
In other news, Nazis love fascism.
In other news: water wet.
"MAGA Republicans much more “delusional” and pro-violence, study finds"
