And to think that this was the first election when she was even of age to vote…

    Well until they actually repeal women’s suffrage this actually works in our favor weirdly enough. You’d think they’d be pushing their wives and daughters to vote, or to get to vote for them. How long til they propose family voting where they can “vote” for their kids.

      I’m simply fucking baffled how they think their opinion matters in any fucking way, when they advocate for christofascism. They want every other woman to be breeding cattle, but expect themselves to be allowed opinions? Fuck outta here.

        To be fair, if they actually had an opinion of their own I doubt they would say shit like this. This is just mindless repetition of the misogynist crap the men around them have fed them. Zero critical thought.

      I’ve met these women. They aren’t stupid, per se. They don’t want to “think”. They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want.

      They don’t want to think about the world. Just their world.

      But think about this for a second.

      It’s the conservative mindset: “The world doesn’t affect ME so why should I care? I’m not being oppressed so everything is fine!”

        They’re also brainwashed by the “Christian” patriarchal model. Which is literally “do what your husband tells you” and “don’t listen to outside opinions, just think and do what the church tells you.” The whole stupid thing is engineered to reinforce authoritarianism.

          It’s a situation where it’s a combination of “it works for me so this is how it should be for everyone” and “the world would be so much better if everyone acted this way”.

          On the surface it makes sense.

          But it’s almost passive aggressive oppression.

          They don’t just want to choose not to think, because then they might have pangs of regret from making that choice. They want others to tell them that women aren’t allowed to think, so that it’s no longer their decision, and so it can’t be their fault if it’s a bad one.

        This is it. Conservatives are predominantly people with little to no empathy. That’s why they change their tune the moment things affect them.

        Oh my god, that’s what I want too. I would love to have a garden and a nice kitchen and just concentrate on my little world. I’m just not selfish enough to fully abandon everything that’s not in my little bubble.

        The wanting isn’t the problem, doing it with no thought for anyone else is.

        Can you blame them?

        Living in an isolated idyllic little world where it’s just you and the people you love supporting each other sounds fucking DOPE.

        Give me that solarpunk cottagecore life any day, every day, all day.

        I’m aware that’s a fantasy, but if someone told me there was a sliver of a chance, the impulse control center of my brain would shut down for long enough to be dangerous.

      I have a friend whose sister was like this, but Eastern European. The man makes all the decisions and women are baby makers and dishwashers.

      A couple years after the quick marriage she hates being married, him, but doesn’t want to leave because of her values so she’s incredibly depressed.

        man that’s so sad. how far the amazonians who scared the romans shitless have fallen when even eastern european women are trad-wifin’ it. and what’s sad is that the way she gave up her dignity is she was convinced since birth by people who were convinced since birth that she had no dignity in the first place. it’s possible to cherish your children and to take joy in home tasks without treating it like its your only value

      I mean, all the events leading to trump winning the first time seemed far fetched… and the second time… insane. Honestly it was over half way into the 2016 general that I realized… oh shit this isn’t just a meme and a joke of people ironically saying they support this lunatic, there’s actually enough serious supporters that he could win.

        One of the negatives of mail on voting that people don’t want to acknowledge. (Because mail in voting good, and everything must be black and white.)

          100%. This is the true “voter fraud” if there is any. Voting for parents, voting for significant others, voting for kids, but doing so on a mail in ballot and usually with their approval.

          (I have to admit that I do this with my wife. She says “just fill it out and I’ll sign and turn it in”, so I do. But this could easily be done with coercion also.)

            I’m sure you mean that you tell her each marking to fill in and watch her do it. Nearly the same thing. Just clarifying the words you’ve put on the Internet for everyone to see. The words that can be traced back to you if convenient.

          That’s a good point. I don’t think it makes a difference in this particular situation because she’ll vote as ordered. Having said that, there are people who would benefit from voting away from the watchful eyes of their partners.
