Oscar-winning actor Julia Roberts broke Republicans by narrating an advert encouraging ladies to defy their MAGA husbands and secretly vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
The outrage is simply one other instance of how the conservative motion, now completely influenced by GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s MAGA contingent, is run by incel males whose political sensibilities had been outlined by the sexist Gamergate scandal and the net cesspools of 4chan and 8chan. It’s the explanation the motion’s adherents are so drawn to Trump, who at a Wednesday evening rally threatened to “protect women” … “whether they like it or not”— identical to he bragged about grabbing them “by the p-ssy.”
And 4 days earlier than the election, Republicans simply can’t cease digging themselves right into a deeper gap on the subject of ladies voters.
As Politico studies, ladies are closely overrepresented within the early vote with a constant 10-point hole throughout all of the battleground states (55% ladies vs. 45% males). This, by itself, doesn’t imply that Harris will win, however given that girls are considerably extra Democratic than males, the extra of them vote, the higher. And Democratic candidates are definitely bringing out youthful, browner, low-propensity feminine voters.
“According to TargetSmart’s analysis, Black and Latino women under the age of 30 are not only showing up at higher rates than their male peers—but by even a larger margin than they did in 2020,” reported Politico. “That finding is echoed by internal data shared with POLITICO by the progressive, women-focused organization Supermajority, which is targeting many of these women: More than a third of the 3.6 million low-propensity women the organization is focused on turning out have already voted, which Democrats see as a good sign given that infrequent voters tend to vote later or on Election Day.”
Predictably, conservatives are responding with hysteria and misogyny.
Proper-wing influencer Nick Fuentes calls ladies “sick and cruel” for eager to have company over their our bodies and private medical selections. But it’s Fuentes, a person, who’s idiotically claiming towards all proof and skilled opinion that Trump’s insurance policies could be higher for the financial system. Heck, even billionaire sycophant Elon Musk has admitted that electing Trump will tank the financial system—they usually wish to do it on objective.
As for the remainder of Fuentes’ hysterical claims, Harris has promised to signal the identical border invoice that Republicans negotiated with Democrats earlier this yr—earlier than Trump spiked it in an effort to forestall the problem from being fastened earlier than the election. And “nuclear war” is patently absurd, and code for “give Russia anything it wants or else ‘nuclear war’ wink wink.”
Then there’s Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance completely sticking his head within the sand on Joe Rogan’s present.
Rogan: Roe was the legislation of the land and abruptly that had been taken away and you’ve got these males attempting to dictate what ladies can and can’t do with their our bodies.
Vance: Yeah, yeah… however you’ve got ladies who go too far and attempt to have fun it.
Received that, women? Now you possibly can’t even have fun one thing if a person doesn’t prefer it. Give up it, why don’t you.
Our Thursday story has many extra such examples of hyperventilating conservatives.
If or when Harris wins, count on the offended misogyny to ramp as much as new heights. These males aren’t able to the self-reflection and trustworthy evaluation essential to study from their errors. They are going to as an alternative work more durable to close up these pesky ladies who insist on making selections on their very own, with out letting males take management.
And sure, their emotional outbursts about eliminating the nineteenth Modification are obviously absurd and counterproductive. However these so-called alphas received’t have the ability to cease themselves from fantasizing about it, additional alienating ladies from conservatism.
The irony is that girls are illustrating what Supreme Courtroom Justice Samuel Alito mentioned when taking away their reproductive freedom: “Women are not without electoral or political power.”
As for the boys that Trump and his ilk try to empower?
These incels don’t get to be offended when ladies merely verify that sure, they do.
