Help me understand Republican women in their 30s and 40s

It's odd that none of this discussion has centered on why married women may have voting preferences that align with male voting patterns, except the bizarre and misogynistic conclusion that women are brainless and will do as their husbands instruct.

Married women tend to have more in common with men because marriage causes them to be a unit and their interests are united. A married woman has no interest in males being discriminated against, etc.


I think it’s more that the Democrats preach depressing nihilism and that’s attractive to lonely people.

It is interesting. I think it's because many married women have children, and so they're more plugged into community issues - public safety, schools, cost of groceries etc. And Democrats tend to be on the wrong side of everyday quality of life issues - particularly schools and crime.

This.

When I was single, I didn’t care nearly enough about schools, inflation, cost of living, immigration, or any other political issue for them to affect my voting. I didn’t even understand what school choice was, beyond knowing it was bad primarily because that’s what everyone in my Crown Heights circle thought and I didn’t care enough to look too hard into it. Naturally, I voted D.

Then I had an autistic child in a terrible school district with classrooms overcrowded due to a mass influx of undocumented immigrants, where every kid with any disability that needed accommodation was herded into one classroom and basically babysat. Popular wisdom in my area was that “privileged” parents like me should make do with public schools cuz like privates are bad and leaving meant I was racist. While I was trying to figure out what to do, the pandemic hit, and schools shut down, leaving me to educate a multiply disabled child basically by myself (good luck virtually educating kids like mine) and Dems kept schools closed long after the harms were documented. I got outta NY so fast to a southern state were life was still allowed to go on and where I had my pick of schools regardless of where I lived. Suddenly, school choice made sense. Educational policy and immigration became very real issues to me, and I could have slapped all my former Brooklynite friends who thought keeping schools closed indefinitely was totally fine.

Inflation hit us very hard because we needed every dollar for my son’s therapies and then later for serious health problems I developed. All the monied Democrats I knew telling me that inflation is a non-issue made me want to kill someone.

Life comes at you fast when you have children, a mortgage, and a whole life beyond pie in the sky foolishness to consider. I’m done with Democrats. Never ever thought I’d say that 10 years ago as a single woman.

Hunter Biden something something, border woofwoofblahblah, trans men at swim meets - the usual.


Hunter Biden is irrelevant but the destruction of Title IX and males being allowed into vulnerable women-only spaces are absolutely serious issues that shouldn't be dismissed.


I live in flyover country and no one I know is talking about this or worrying about it. Trans people aren't any more violent then the rest of us.

I go to a welcoming church so have met several trans gender people. They are lovely. Kind. Helpful. Not aggressive.

You are a beast to try to say they are all bad.




Well, since every crossdressing male YOU know is “lovely,” I guess that settles that.

Solipsistic, small-minded jerks will do as you do…

It is unlikely these posters are at all concerned about trans people. It's just a GOP strategy to try to combat the GOP hemorrhaging young females voters since they blew up roe. It's a failing strategy but it seems to be all they can come up with.

Exactly. To the extent any of them are concerned, it’s because they think trans people are icky and it should be okay to mock them. They’re not afraid of getting assaulted. They just don’t like being told their attitude is nasty.


I don’t really care about trans people as much as I care about truth and reality. Transwomen are men and pretending otherwise harms women and children.


Relax. That is so far down on the danger list as to be almost non-existent. Your time would be better spent on teaching your kid to be a safe driver.


Obviously you aren’t a parent, so I’m not sure why you are on a parent site.

If you were then you know every other teenage girl thinks she is a boys these days.


Lol. Teach your teens to drive safely vs 50 percent of teenage girls are trans. One of those posters is actually a parent and we all know which one it is.
