| I definitely understood Bush-era Republicans but I just cannot wrap my mind around how any remotely educated woman today could consider herself a part of the Republican party. Can someone please explain it to me? What is appealing about the Republican party? |

Far left Democrats who think white women are too privileged by their race to be employed regardless of their political affiliation. |

Nearly half the nation is conservative and wants conservative policies. Not extreme ones, just reasonable ones. I don't think many of these people like Trump. Sadly, a lot may feel obligated to vote for their party's nominee, even if he stinks to high heaven. I know a few Republicans who did not vote for Trump in 2020. They voted for Biden, or stayed home. But that doesn't mean they've stopped identifying themselves as Republicans. On the contrary. They get offended at the idea they have to surrender their party to MAGA. They are proud to be REAL Republicans, instead of weird, gormless maggots. |

By polling though, most Americans favor reasonable gun legislation, women's healthcare rights, legalization of pot and a host of other issues that are not considered "conservative" - so I guess it depends on what one considers conservative and how any of them consider Trump as a philanderer and con man, to be their standard bearer. |

Most women who identify as Republican are married.
Most unmarried women identify as Democrat.

Young men are becoming more conservative while young women are becoming more liberal.

| Pretty simple, I probably disagree with you on every major policy issue from immigration to crime to the Supreme Court. It’s not that complicated. |

PP you replied to. As usual it depends who is proposing what in our very divided society and in a world that includes Fox and the NRA. If a group of Republicans proposes "common sense" gun laws, most conservatives will have no problem with that. If a group of Republicans expound the virtues of a 15 week abortion ban, access to contraceptives as healthcare, and urge legal weed for adults, most conservatives voters are already fine with these things, since many have probably already used or been involved in all three of them. But no influential group of GOP politicians wants to go there right now because they will be crucified by the NRA and the Christo-fascists, and then the people at Fox will run around pouring oil on the flames. But if a Democrat says those things: definitely that's a non-starter. Nothing that comes from Democrats can be heard amid the gnashing of teeth and scurrying to get pitchforks and mallets. Conclusion: we have to get rid of lobbyism in general. It's undemocratic and elevates powerful corporate interests over the individual. And moderate Republicans and Democrats have to find of way of getting on the airwaves, being seen to work together in harmony over centrist projects, so that no one immediately runs to get the stake or garlic whenever they see a politician of the opposite side. Just long enough to hear them out at any rate. |

Exactly. We disagree with you OP. Shocking to you, I know. |

Yep, it's weird when people assume based on superficial differences like gender or race that they automatically know how someone should vote. |

So Republican women are totally OK with being treated as nothing more than baby factories, as long as dirty brown people don't come across the border to take jobs no American wants.
Got it. |
