Summary
Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ‘toe the line’ politically at home.
A TikTok trend of women “canceling out” their partners’ votes highlights a gender divide in the 2024 election, with many young women supporting Kamala Harris while their male partners back Trump. Campaigns encourage women, especially those in conservative households, to vote independently, emphasizing privacy through ads featuring voices like Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.
STOP. FUCKING. REPUBLICANS.
Look, I know women in these situations often have no easy way to get out from the financial situation they’re in, or will be alone and unsafe with a vengeful partner. I feel terribly for anyone in that situation, and if I knew anyone like that personally I would offer to help them.
But don’t fuck them in the first place.
I mean, personally, I’m a financially safe option.
But then you’d have to meet me, and to meet me I would need time and energy to get out of the house, and it becomes this whole thing and I’d just rather not
Do we still say username checks out?
Oh yeah. It’s not that I have problems with people, or people have problems with me, it’s just the whole “people” thing is a “problem” to me.
I get a long great with people so long as it’s at most like 3 of us. any more and oof its a problem
If my partner were voting fascist they wouldn’t be my partner.
claiming they undermine family values.
Oh really? And exactly which values are those? Perhaps that women should obey their husbands commands and be glorified slaves? They can’t very well say that quite part out loud yet now can they. That would actually cost them some votes they really can’t afford.
Not even slaves - combination incubators/dishwashers/laundry machines.
You’re sugarcoating religious extremism; just describing an average 1950’s housewife…
What they want is Gilead. The sharia law of the Taliban, but Christian!
I call them Talibangelicals, or Y’all Qaeda
My parents have been voting opposite since they met and very rarely had issues. They just don’t talk about politics and they’ve made it work for 40 years. How about be a fucking man stop trying to control your partner. Women had to fight for their right to vote so as far as I’m concerned they can do whatever the fuck they want.
Maybe it’s a generational divide or something, but I would lose my fucking mind if my partner for life were braindead enough to support trump. Maybe Clinton v Dole was just a more reasonable thing to disagree with your spouse about (idk, I wasn’t there, and I don’t care enough to look into it, don’t @ me), but a disagreement in 2024 fundamentally is about democracy v fascism, helping people v hurting people, and decency v shameless petulance. A politically split household in 2024 is not a team or a partnership in any meaningful way. Just fucking get a divorce already because you’ve clearly married the wrong person! There’s absolutely no fucking way I could cohabitate with, let alone share a bed with somebody who wants women, children, immigrants, minorities, LGBTQ+ people, and poor people to be punished in every aspect of life for not being financially comfortable, straight, white, cis men. Truly incomprehensible. “But taxes! But gas prices!” No. Just no. You’re clearly not actually paying attention if you think that literally anything would be better for you under trump. There would be short term gains at the expense of long term collapse, just like what happened when you gave him the keys last time.
And I don’t mean you specifically. Just the rhetorical “you” for anybody it would apply to.
I definitely agree with you there. But my parents are also in their seventies and are set in their ways. My little sister came out as trans and I can obviously tell my dad hates it. My mom doesn’t understand it at all so she just avoids the conversation, but she is supportive.
But I also 100% believe that the majority of people voting for Trump don’t understand the threat of fascism. The thing about fascism and being in a cult like MAGA is that you don’t realize anything is wrong with what you’re doing from the inside. They think what they are doing is the right thing to do. Just look up anyone that has escaped from a cult and they will say the same thing. People don’t want what they believe to be put into question and will fight tooth and nail to protect it. It’s how propaganda works. Like, if someone they trust tells them that Latinos are coming into this country and doing awful things they’d be more inclined to believe them over the stranger they’ve never met telling them they’re stupid for what they believe in.
Not sure it’s generational per se, it is probably a combination of everyone needing to wear their politics on their sleeves and often in a very performative way, along with the fact that the qons keep getting more openly crazier and crazier every year and whipping up stochastic terrorism…
It’s one thing to have different opinions and another to have a partner that believes a convicted rapist with an unimaginable amount of blood on his hands should lead the fucking army to start mass murdering civilians he doesn’t like. The guy is cartoon levels of evil, it’s fucking ridiculous.
Thing is people of opposing politics can work together. Trump isn’t politics, it’s fascism. If we really wanted to see political opposites working together, Republicans could put country first and get rid of Trump with us, once that threat is gone we can go back to being adults with differences
Yeah, but they are there for the fascism. Donnie isn’t a bug, he’s a feature. As Obama puts it: he didn’t build that. Donnie just showed up and slapped his name on the place…once donnie kicks the bucket, the Republiqons will be just as bad as they always have been. Maybe even worse if they find someone who is smarter than donnie to run the joint.
They should Cancel out their relationship as well. If your partner is willing to vote away your rights gleefully and you stay with them?! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
A lot of people stay in abusive relationships for a long time.
Shit, there’s a party that’s trying to to make our whole country more of a giant abusive relationship.
imagine them voting for trump is what wakes you up to how shit they are in general
it’s sad that woman have to hide this from their partners. Everyone should be able to vote how they wish without fear of retaliation.
Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.
Mr “Family values” man, Watters, is a Fox hypocrite and stooge.
Watters was married to Noelle Inguagiato from 2009 to 2019, and they have twin daughters. Inguagiato left Watters in October, 2017 after he admitted to cheating on her with DiGiovine.I do so love this idea, LOL. The impotent rage of a whole lot of redhat douchenozzles…
I mean, I hope they are right, but they seem to be putting an awful lot of faith in the notion that enough women are going to do this in the right zip codes to make a difference.
‘No one will ever know’
Anyone else getting this in Dan Backslide’s voice?
Well, shit. Now I can’t unhear it.
in a perfect world
A lot of women are going to get the truth of who they voted for beat out of them.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. As a kid, I saw this exact kind of thing play out with my mother several times. Conservatism is a violent disease.
I fucked Ted Cruz with my lady cock and while he was greasing up in the bathroom I switched his mail in ballot with a 2-for-1 femboy hooters coupon. He’ll be so excited he won’t notice. Just doing my part
