When moron who publicly bragged about acing the dementia test calls you dumb - priceless. For everything else there is MasterCard.

and yet... "Harris currently leads among women voters by 13 points (48 percent to 35 percent)"
Make it make sense!
Misogyny isn't just a man thing! Women participate it in (against the "bad" ones) all the time.
There's a reason Karen is a boomer stereotype.
The interesting thing is that it's actually Gen X where Trump has disproportionately high support among women.
Good moment to ask yourself if your mental image of "Karen" is actually old enough to be a Boomer.
No, obviously not. Because I was fucking young then.
Because when I dealt with them they were younger, now they're absolutely boomers, and they don't need to tolerate this, their husband will handle me and he owns a dealership!!!
What the actual fuck? That is crazy. We lived through Reagan. And both Bushes. Why would any woman my age think Trump was anyone who would make a good president?
My guess, internalised misogyny akin to Stockholm syndrome.
Yeah I'm Oregon trail, I know that shit.
Republicans are dumb af.
Speaking from experience, my sister has never been a Trump supporter until she married her now husband. Now she thinks like he does and votes the way he does. Maybe these women Trump voters just don't want their husbands to get upset. That is the Christian way, honor thy husband and all that bullshit.
And/or they have zero ethics or shame.
I know it's troubling, but try to remember that polling is pretty much fucked right now. The pollsters are having a horrible time trying to get statistically valid samplings, and it's quite possible that the poll in question is very much off the mark.
No, southern women adore trump, a lot are crazy and want a big strong man to tell them what to do so they don't have to risk thinking for themselves.
More like, want a big strong man to come save them from the evil bad people. My mother is that ways, and is self-unaware enough to say so pretty directly.
That's baked in deep in some places, that's why educating women is such an existential threat.
Imagine women who don't feel helpless and have some confidence to think indepdently?!?!
There's this thing (brainwashing) called tradwife.
Do I want to search tradwife, or will it ruin the rest of my day?
It's basically women cosplaying being a 1950s traditional housewife.. and then getting surprised that the men who actually want this turn out to be massive misogynistic POS's. It's a safe search, if only for the schadenfreude.
Yeah the trick to tradwifery is either to do it as a form of bdsm or to take a concerning amount of quaaludes.
Sure.. plenty of people have kinks that work in their relationship. But mostly the tradwifes are not in it for the kink but for some misguided idolized view of how things would work.. they make home and take care of their man, making themselves completely dependent. Only to then find out why women's suffrage has been fighting so hard for independent self sufficient women. Because if the man turns out to be abusive, you are trapped.
Well yes, this is partly me mocking those tradwives. I’ve known people who do it as a kink but they are wildly different in part by both parties tending to be very feminist.
Women didn’t demand the right to work because it seemed fun, but rather because it came with the freedom to leave.
Also a lifestyle that some women assume after finding a man. Then, it works best - most of the case both parties happy, but also most of the time it's not really viable economically...unles the dude plays 1950 traditional husband, as in works his ass off
Did that 1950s husband work his ass off or could he afford a home, car and family on wage at about ~40 hrs a week? Maybe both, but, having been and known people, I doubt people worked harder back then. The switch from black and white to color did not change human nature.
His insults are really slacking these days.
They have been for a long time. He comes up with a good one every once in a while. But most of them are lazy and unimaginative.
BREAKING NEWS: MANCHILD THROWS TANTRUM AS HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN GOES DOWN IN FLAMES
But the democrats are the ones that need to turn down the rhetoric.......riiiiiiight.......
C'mon Trump, we expect better of your nicknames.
Like Meatball Ron.
Meatball Ron was an unexpectedly good one after all his lazy ones, and I'm not even sure why
Something-something a ~~thousand monkeys with typewriters~~ demented gramps spouting random bullshit. Given enough time, they are sure to produce something that sticks.
What an old-timey insult from that conniving flim-flamming charlatan snake oil salesman.
I'd like to ask Trump what his definition of bimbo is and why he thinks it applies to her.
Because I kinda feel like his definition would be something like "anyone I want to fuck, if only they would shut the fuck up for the thirty seconds that would take."
Dude is addicted to TV. Why does he hate watch Maher?
Yes, yes, let the hate flow through you.
If Trump were any dumber, he’d be Boebert.
He’s definitely in the dumb-dumb group with Boebert and Ron Johnson— the paint huffers.
Competition is fierce down at the bottom.
Less normalize calling Trump a bimbo. It'd be a trip to see his blonde bombshelled bimbo ass face bimbin' out tryina see where he went wrong
Well, he’s a whiney old bitch who stinks and rapes women.
lol, this guy. We should be thankful that his accelerating mental degeneration is so evident.
The number of people he's said he hates or called names because they've either supported the Harris campaign, or spoken against his, seems to be quite a lot.
Baffles me that anyone could look on and think, "hmm yes, this guy seems socially intelligent", is beyond me.
I wanna see a slander lawsuit.
As much as I would like to see it too, I don’t think an insult is legally slander.
Meanwhile, he gets another shot at being in the news cycle. This is the mofo’s M.O.: say outrageous shit, end up in the news cycle for another 24 hours, so that your opponent is not in the news…
Tankies sure do LOVE this weird fucker.
Must remind them of their own incompetent and weak leaders or something 🤷
Only a straightup fool would put that thing back in the hotseat
