"GOP women voted for Trump, believing complicity would save them. MAGA men: pushing them out of l'ship, de facto legalizing abuse, & signaling that the era of "chivalry" will be replaced with the era of eating shit."
"Autocratic ldrs: Napoléon: decriminalized the murder of unfaithful wives -Mussolini: claimed that women “never created anything.” 21C is proving #misogyny & #authoritarianism aren't just common comorbidities but mutually reinforcing ills." -FA 2/22

@KimPerales To be honest GOP women vote for the GOP for the same reason democrats vote for democrats... tribalism and nothing more. Their friends are GOP/Dems and they are too ashamed to be judged by their friends as lesser... thats it, its why 90% of people vote the way they do at all.
If that werent the case the GOP and democrats probably wouldnt act like raving lunatics all the time because they would feel some need to actually make sense.
@KimPerales I think Marcotte insights are totally not at all fault. I think these reasons are what **many** women GOP voters will **State** is their reason. What Im saying is the vast majority of people will give some great sounding reason for being on either side, GOP or Democrat, but int he end, thats just them trying to find a reason for something they are already commited to for tribalistic reasons.
Most people lie to themselves about their motives to appear like good noble people, and this is what that looks like. In reality a great deal of the time the justification comes after the tribialistic commitment to the group.
Its not the reason, its the excuse, and we tell ourselves the lie just like we tell everyone else.
@freemo
There're several reasons that some women vote for Republicans. I believe Marcotte has good insights.
