According to this chart, the question isn’t why US women vote republican, it is why so many have shifted left in the past decade or so.

I am voting republican this year
—40s, female and divorced

Why:Trump was not that bad. I voted Biden last time. I am worried about the VP and what it would be like to lose a president in office

On January 6, were you not worried about the president and what it would be like to lose a VP in office?

Enough about that date. Property was destroyed and some had heart attacks. It was wrong.
I remember Sept 11. I lost a friend from HS. Let’s not go through that again. Keep me safe. Keep stability abroad so it doesn’t come home

We almost lost the system of government that has been in place since our founding, but fine, let's just go with "property was destroyed and some had heart attacks." I remember 9/11 too and it was a catastrophic failure by federal intelligence and law enforcement - but Bush never incited the hijackers, nor did he praise them after the fact.

I always say the left has lost it. And I actually agree with much of what you believe. So… what you are saying : It’s just not true

You think the US government was almost toppled by a man in a mouse-hat with horns?

I have no idea what you are talking about with Bush. But since I raised it and am happy to go with the flow:

I don’t think the event merits its own date. Like D Day or september 11. It’s an oversell.

My point was this: 9/11 and 1/6 were the two darkest days of my lifetime (I was born in the 70s). While Bush's administration could have done more to prevent 9/11, he did not summon the perpetrators as Trump did when he tweeted "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!" And he never, *ever* glorified the perpetrators, as Trump has many times and continues to do.

What would have happened had the January 6 rioters managed to take the ballots - or capture or kill members of Congress?

On hundred percent. But that Jan 6th minimizer is just explaining what Republican women do with that catastrophe in order to keep voting Republican. They minimize it and are probably disappointed that the coup was not successful.

You do realize that American Republicans are the most armed civilian population on earth, right? How do you reconcile this with the fact they didn't have any weapons while, according to you, attempting to "end democracy"? It was a bad riot. After a summer of bad riots, totaling billions of dollars in damage and multiple deaths, which we were assured were very important for self expression.

So it not "minimizing" to observe that the scale of Jan 6 wasn't impressive or a threat to our democracy.

You are completely and intentionally ignoring the fake elector part of the plot. The intention of the day was to actually try to change the election outcome and the violent capital riot of fools was absolutely a part of the plot.

But you are free to ignore reality and vote Republican. That is your right.

I do think they are being overly sexualized though dress and social media. And people are saying it’s okay as it’s about identity and personal liberty. Ok, it’s also about sexualization at a young age. That does make them targets for people who do not wish them well.

It’s a bit jarring to see so many kids in skimpy outfits, posting photos, male or female or third gender.

Nice try shifting the conversation to a more sympathetic face of the transgender agenda, but I’m talking about the adult men playing out sexual fetishes who Democrats have given the “right” to invade women’s spaces. I’ve encountered several of them in just the past six months and I won’t tolerate being yelled at by liars who don’t want to hear inconvenient facts.

Good luck posting about it on here. The moderator once debated claiming that human are not a sexually dimorphic species and therefore men could become women.

Oh, I know the crossdressing men and their handmaids will summon him shortly to delete responses. Too bad for them that he can’t stop us from voting against their agenda.

OP, if you want to know why many of us are voting Republican, RFK, or staying home, start here. When a party throws open women’s spaces to perhaps the most predatory subgroup of men in existence and attacks women who speak out, those of us who aren’t delusional handmaids will abandon ship.

And this is just ONE of the many issues on which Democrats are dangerous, fascistic, and insane.

It is scary how so many progressive men try to silence women they don’t agree with.

Ok, I am pretty centric.

I have to say that this mind control theme is very funny. I am going to think on that angle True that there are adults that are taking advantage of this moment in time. And I am the one complaining about the bustiers on teenage boys. I have seen photos of a nice kid I know (srrsly, you guys??! - why?? why can’t you at least be more discrete).

I have seen it with my own eyes. It’s a lot — very fast. I just don’t think people like all this change so fast.

Oh, and if you don’t have kids of a certain age - you just don’t know

Yup, and it’s even scarier how many “progressive” women are cowardly, unprincipled handmaids who will parrot any lie to stay out of the line of fire.

Nope, you haven’t seen it! It isn’t happening. Democrats insist any man who says he’s a woman automatically becomes a woman, but not a single male predator has taken advantage of that policy. No youths are confused and jumping on a harmful bandwagon. Not a single negative thing has resulted from this deranged social engineering.

Yeah, because they were not part of a cohesive plot. One was about submitting questionable paperwork. The other was about storming the Capitol. They were not coordinated activities. You'd have to demonstrate why I should believe electors in Arizona are at all related to a violent riot in DC. I doubt they knew about each other's existence.

Posts like this make ME want to become a Republican.

—lifelong Dem

Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me that Republican *policy* isn't geared towards denying women (and only women) reproductive freedom. And it's not just abortion - they're going after contraception as well. And the cherry on top is that they are proposing PUNISHMENT for having an abortion.

And spare me the lecture about immigration being a national security issue - if it was truly that, the GOP I used to know would have shut that shit off years ago. But Republicans don't want to solve the issue; it's too valuable to them as a wedge issue for political advantage. It's all dog whistles, and barely disguised ones at that.

The way I see it, any woman of reproductive age who still votes Republican is just like a Log Cabin Republican - willing to trade their entire identity for absolutely nothing.

Are you aware that for most women, abortion is not the only issue they think about? It's clear you're a one-issue voter. Many of us are not. Even those of us who are pro-choice.

NP. I’m the black woman who posted about my abortion and your comment is what it comes down to. There’s a lot more to consider than abortion. I’m so disgusted by Democrats’ positions on so many other issues that I won’t vote for Biden this election. It’s a measure of how far this country has fallen that we have to choose between a party that would allow adult male crossdressers, a disproportionate number of whom are sex offenders, into girls’ bathrooms versus a party that would force a raped girl to carry the crossdressing degenerate’s child to term.

Good grief woman. None of this is happening. You're being manipulated and they're using your bigotry to do it. One day the fascists will come to round up people that look like you and me, and you'll have empowered them because you were afraid of imaginary cross-dressing rapists. Get it together! There are real and present dangers, and I promise you trans people are not the danger you should fear.

Hold on. You mean the old man in a miniskirt and 4” clear stiletto heels who I encountered in the women’s bathroom at the YMCA three weeks ago wasn’t actually there? Or the at least 6’4 man with long hair who entered the women’s bathroom at the AMC movie theater while I was alone there three months ago also didn’t exist?

Wow, either Republicans have perfected a mind control ray that makes women see cross-dressing men in the bathroom or Democrats like you are lying, gaslighting, hateful pieces of sh!t who endanger women with this disgusting social agenda and then attack us when we speak plainly on what is happening.

While you figure that puzzle out, I’ll be voting Republican for the first time because of fools like you.

An old man approached me in a grocery store and told me that he was going to get surgery so that he could have big boobs too. It was clear this was some kind of "flasher" scenario where he wanted to get a sexual thrill from scandalizing a woman. I was at a retirement community and I guess news hasn't traveled to them yet that women are positively inundated with this crap now. I gave him the sort of kindly look that you might give a senile person and told him that I wished him a smooth recovery in his surgery. He was deflated, and honestly that might be the only good thing about all of this. We can't be shocked anymore.

Bingo. That’s who we’re dealing with in women’s spaces now thanks to the liars who won’t even admit what they supported. And we’re the lucky ones. Women being housed with male sex offenders are in the worst position of all. This is the price of democracy, huh?
