I'm mad it's 2024 and we need to check notes
Make sure women don't have rights stripped away
That's so weird that the nazi husbands who would give their wife a black eye for voting for kamala would fly into a rage about something.
Waiting for the article from the NYT about how this is bad for Harris' polling with police officers.
As we always said when the Volunteers lost to Alabama: "Lot of women are going to be falling down stairs tonight."
It wasn't funny then either :(
It's bonkers that the people who can't stfu about FREEDOMS are the ones who want to strip everyone else's away
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., joined the criticism Thursday, telling Fox News that Democrats are telling wives to lie to their husbands: “What kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed?”
Ah yes, the guy who has cheated on multiple wives is talking about amorality and corruption.
it's not "cheating" if the husband does it. it's "the wife is being frigid and insufferable and i had no choice but to fuck whoever else"
from the party of "it's not rape if he's your husband"
He's not the only conservative paragon of virtue that's having a hissy-fit over it either:
Fox News host Jesse Watters said on the air last week that if his wife did the same as the women in the ad, it would violate “the sanctity of our marriage.”
“If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Watters said, a remark that prompted many online to call him out for his marital affair, which he admitted to in 2018.
Not just an affair, an affair with his current wife he was calling out. Who he started the affair by being a massive stalker and letting air out of her tires so she'd ask him for a ride.
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
These idiots really miss the fact that most women can, and, in fact, must work. This idea of a "sweet" husband who works to provide for his family is so outdated it's absurd.
That does still apply to rich people, which is why I suspect so many of these idiots still think this way. Surely everyone has the means THEY have!
Awww your wife isn't your property?? 😢
The guy who helped create the ad even says
“They took a person’s sanctity of their ballot and turned it into a conversation about men owning the behaviors of the women in their life,” Pagitt said. “And like, well, I didn’t think you were going to make our point for us. We’re very grateful that you did.”
we're entering a dangerous territory where women are being treated like people ... think of where this slippery slope can go ... /s
What about the husband vote cancelling out the wives vote?
Both humans have agency. If you are going to frame the issue as treachery, then the husband shouldn't vote against his wife. Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
Fuck that.
Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
To conservatives it's this one.
They believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.
That headline again: "Party of Snowflakes Melt"
LOL does this come in a bumper sticker?
Yes. Yes, rage against this. Feed your anger. How dare they?!?!?! Feed the Streisand effect. Spread this idea. Let it engage you!! Oh, I know. Rant about it to your wife. Tell her all about this evil idea. Tell her what those other independent women are doing. Yeah. Get good and mad /S
It's not hiding when it's supposed to be a secret. A woman voting her own beliefs should be the first step out of that kind of controlling relationship.
I'm willing to take bets that sometime in the Future there will be a call from Republicans for a new law that allows husbands to see how their wives have voted.
To protect Family values.... And to stop disharmony in the marriage.....
And, of course, to prevent voter fraud.......
If the Conservatives had their way, women would not be allowed to vote at all. Unfortunately, that still seems to be one of their goals. I mean, Trump and his henchmen have already made sure that women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies, which I have to admit I thought was impossible in a Western country. What makes you think they're going to leave it at taking away women's right to a secret ballot? These people want to reverse advances in civilization like women's right to vote all together. That's what conservative means to them: back to the Middle Ages. In this sense, they are little different from other religious extremists such as the Taliban. Their goals might be a little different but their means are pretty much the same.
If conservatives had their way, men would vote on behalf of their wives and unmarried adult daughters.
Party that repealed Roe v Wade and constantly talks about shooting liberals is now angry that their wives might be afraid of telling them how they vote, more news at 10
Next up, they’re going to try and force women into wearing bedsheets cuz, you know, they can’t keep it in their pants when they see a modestly attractive woman go by in normal clothes.
They'll probably soon start suggesting women shouldn't hear other women's voices. Very Taliban. Very cool. -GOP
Y'all'kaida
Wow, who knew the fascist party supporters would be against women having political autonomy.
This is the Bear vs a Strange man all over again and they still don’t get it.
So it is "amoral" to tell women that they can make their own decisions. Thanks for clearing that up, Newt.
Anyone who is mad about the possibility of someone hiding who they voted for, is part of the reason it needs to be reiterated in the first place.
I can't imagine (as a unmarried guy) living in a marriage where my wife would be afraid to tell me who she voted for. Even if she votes Trump, she's my spouse, and that comes way before that. She should chew me out if I make her feel afraid.
...It makes me feel shame for the culture some men are raised in.
I don't know. If my wife voted for Trump she knows I'd leave her, so I can imagine she wouldn't tell me if she did. Not to mention she'd have to have been lying about her entire personality the whole time we knew eachother XD.
At this course, the US Taleban is about to meet the handmaid's tale...
That ad was gold. Brilliant idea.
Good.
In a functioning democracy, a vote should be secret by default, and that should be the social expectation. If you wanna tell people, sure, but not in a way where your actual vote can be proven.
"you might have to give your female properties an extra black eye tonight!"
-GOP
Good lord they're really telling on themselves with this one aren't they?
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
And just why does she have to lie about it to her "sweet" husband?...
Oh no, they realize they might not have complete control over their little world! Heavens to murgatroyd!
Sooo if you're a potential husband with a penis, vote for Trump for the following reasons:
-
Guaranteed husbandry or at least fatherhood. Just go out there and fuck someone, they gotta have the kid no matter what. Your cum is valuable.
-
Ah yes. You think I forget? You can grab them by the pussy....if you're famous. So go out there, fuck somebody, be famous and grab them by the pussy!
3)Earn a second vote. You heard me right. You can't incriminate each other and therefore her vote is your vote.
Now go out there and vote! Vote Trump! Fight the enemy within. It's just not right! Bikini at the pool and allowed to vote? Heck no! Women should be prepared for being attached to a 4x4 in the bedroom permanently for the sole purpose of making love to the man. And sometimes for having babies, but hurry up with that, and don't feed babies breast milk at the park. And those naked things that happen in California the gay, Oregon and the independent country of Washington State, those gotta go!
You fucking imbecile. If women are locked in the bedroom how can they make dinner?? Moran
