Seriously, why aren’t women more afraid?

So, Texas is cool with killing women to prevent them from having dead people removed from their uterus.

Yeah, I am worried.

Why do I care if Texas decides not to accept a bunch of forms of ID and makes it harder to vote?

I posted on the other thread that stupid people should be allowed to vote. I don’t believe in disenfranchisement. I’m never going to say this is worthwhile, even if it garners more Dem votes. Dems are better than MAGA/GOP. Our policies are popular. We don’t need to screw people over to win.

If we could avoid being duped into nominating 80 year old clowns and instead nominate the Obama/Clinton types, we'd never lose to the pathetic Trump era GOP.

Interesting. Trump ran against a 60yo. But we have fascism because you and others didn’t like the sound of her laugh. But, I know you insist we didn’t nominate her, we only voted for her for VP. I’ll be waiting for more pretzel logic.

Think a little harder. That 60 yr old was a last minute replacement nominee of a very unpopular elderly incumbent who had his campaign for a second term collapse on him just a few months prior to Election Day. The incumbent party loses 100 times out of 100 in this situation; even against an opponent as weak as Trump. You can try all you want to point fingers at Harris but the 2024 campaign debacle was 100% the fault of Biden and the idiots that supported his nomination in 2020.

Nope he was the right choice in 2020. Hr should have announced he wasn’t seeking another term 18 months before the election.

MAGA idiots think he was the right choice in 2020. Anyone with half a brain knew the elderly unlikable jerk would just hand power back over to Trump in 2024.

Who do you think the choice should have been in 2020?

Soul sucking? Not quite. I dedicated my 20s and 30s to my career and have no regrets at all. It was (and is) all I thought it would be. You don’t speak for all women. Trump and the GOP are destroying our country. You could even say they are sucking the country’s soul. I’m definitely afraid of them. My career is not a source of fear or soul sucking.

And this awful SAVE Act will affect any US born citizen who changed their name, regardless of whether they have career or not.

Sorry that you're struggling to have kids now. I wish you the best and am sorry for what those who came before us inundated you with ideas of priorities that haven't matter for the millions of years of human existence. Instead, we have been trained to accept the artificial feelings of accomplishment that come with moving numbers and letters around on a screen. They got all of us - men and women alike. They just used very different tools to target us.

NP. I am afraid but I’m equally afraid of the Democrats so I genuinely don’t know what to do.

Why are you afraid of the Democrats? Do you think they’re going to force you to do recycling and composting? Sing Kumbayah in a multicultural circle? What are your concerns here?

Democrats have fully embraced a wildly misogynist belief system that explicitly privileges men. Gender ideology has seeped into everything the Democrats promote and it is shockingly misogynist. I don’t see how I can trust a political party that has reduced me to body parts and regressive, sexist stereotypes.

It’s as evil as the Republicans, just in a different way. And yes, it all terrifies me. If I am nothing but a collection of exploitable body parts to both parties, I worry in ten years I will have no rights at all.

These are dark times for women. Both parties have embraced misogyny.

Well, I DiD ask. I have no idea where you got this from — but it’s hardly from the Democratic Party.
You know, the party of Harris for President, and Hilary Clinton for President. That Democratic Party.

The gaslighting from Democrats on gender ideology is so overwhelming at times.

We all know the same people who happily refer to women as “menstruators” or “uterus-havers” would be delighted to restrict women’s voting rights if they could. Misogyny transcends political boundaries.

I had a really hard time getting my real id. Was it impossible? No, but it took 4 trips to the DMV. I'm divorced and remarried. Literal nightmare.

The transgenders have gone too far and need to be stopped. That is why we elected President Donald J Trump. He is defending us from gender identity madness. Thank you President Trump!

I don’t like any of that either. But I like dictators even less.

This is why we have get on getting proper ID now.

Please provide a direct citation that anyone is trying to take away women’s right to drive cars or have bank accounts. Don’t just say “it’s in project 2025!” Provide the citation, please.

Because there is A LOT of really scary stuff to worry about without making additional stuff up.

Where, exactly, did the PP indicate that she was struggling to have kids?

“women like hunting witches too, doing your dirtiest work for you.”

Plenty of women aren’t afraid for the reason above. It’s called mad woman and it’s Taylor. I know, but she nailed that one.

Perhaps women are understandably a little ticked off by the fact that we've elected unfit clowns with a penis in the three most recent POTUS elections while much more fit POTUS candidates, some of them women, were kicked to the curb???

DP. MAGA/GOP want to:

Eliminate no-fault divorce. “Republican lawmakers in Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Texas have discussed eliminating or increasing restrictions on no-fault marriage laws.”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/25/republicans-no-fault-divorce

Take away contraception. “Senate Republicans blocked legislation Wednesday that would enshrine a federal right to access contraception, sinking the Democratic-led measure.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna155448

Get teenagers pregnant to keep states red and increase federal $$. “So we should thank the red states Missouri, Kansas and Idaho for at least being honest. As they disclosed in a federal lawsuit this month, their real goal is to farm pregnant teenagers and their unwanted babies to keep up their population numbers, in order to avoid shrinkage in their congressional delegations and lose federal dollars from programs based on population.”

I’d say that’s a slippery slope since they cut DEI, which (sadly) benefited more white women than POC and the Republicans just made it easier for banks to screw people over. Warren just testified about banks de-banking people. I’d say it’s likely women are next.
