    If straight as an arrow, happily married Kamala Harris is a whore, what does that make our convicted, porn star fucking, wife cheating, child molesting ex president Trump?

    Misleading headline. Whatever it is they are “descending” into, they passed through misogyny quite a while back.

    Matt Walsh of all people calling someone a “thoroughly unimpressive human being” is so jarringly ironic it’s hard to process

    Keep your powder dry. “Little whore” is going to seem mild compared to what’s coming.

    Harris has to run a smart campaign. A competence revolution. An adult is there to take the wheel.

        I wouldn’t say further… They’ve been here for a while, now they’re competing on how loudly they can say the quiet part out loud

      I’d also challenge “unhinged” - the oppressive systems we all live under are designed to make this shit the norm, they not only breed and encourage racism, misogyny and the rest, but reward those with the privilege and sense of entitlement it gives who do them “best”, it’s why people in such positions can and do say such things, and suffer absolutely zero consequences.

      (to be clear, I’m not condoning the behaviour or saying it’s ok in any way, just that these people are not “unhinged”, they are acting exactly in the way white supremacist patriarchal capitalism normalises and encourages them to)

    Am I being too optimistic in seeing this as an opportunity? Surely even MAGA-women object to someone being called a whore just because she’s successful? Surely even MAGA-women have limits to being treated as second class citizens? Surely even MAGA-women can connect that with old white men controlling their reproductive process and see the slippery slope they’re already flying down?

      Never let yourself become convinced that conservatives will vote in their best interest. They aren’t voting based on some logical paradigm, some set of criteria–they are voting on their emotions and their emotions are based on symbols. It’s why the people who claim to be so proud of their Constitution know absolutely nothing about it.

      The other replies are much more reactive, which I totally get given the discourse. I’d recommend a book called “Right Wing Women” by Dworkin to further explore this idea.

      These MAGA women are likely trapped in their own belief, because their sense of self comes from the man that constantly dehumanizes them. If you escape, you are left with nothing (since that’s what you have been indoctrinated to believe in). The only “out” is to be a good trad girl, and hope that the men praise you – this is the only possible source of self-worth.

      Not saying that this excuses their behaviour, but I hope this provides an additional layer of complexity rather than “MAGA women bad”.

      The choice of Kamala might be brilliant. The Republicans have already been showing their ass over abortion rights, and now that they’ve gotten used to saying the quiet part out loud their blatant misogyny towards Kamala will make it harder for them to sell “it won’t get any worse.”

    At least when a whore yells at me I’ve usually asked for it. Can’t say the same of Republicans.

    LOL, bound to happen. They will continue to lose their MINDS if she is in the general. Unhinged. I just hope not many normies fall for the bothsiderist bullshit we are bound to see from the “liberal media” - the same shit they did on Hillary - “many people are saying” that she’s shrill, entitled, she cackles, and other such nonsense so they can appear “balanced” when the alternative is a fascist poised to end freedom of speech by the very same media…
