    What made them pull away from MAGA? Would it happen to be issues that impact women more than men? Everything becomes a loyalty test to authoritarians, it just happens to start with the fringe groups. The minorities within their own ranks. Women happen to be just that.

      Nice job moving your goal posts.

      You did not claim they “pulled away” from MAGA. You claimed they were “pushed out” and implied this was because they were women.

      One gives them agency the other reduces them down to their biological sex.

      I do hope they made the choice to pull away realizing how bad these policies are for women.

        Both things are happening. I’m not moving any goal posts, you’re just trying to catch me on something I said in a comment because you’re stuck on semantics and needing to be right. But I’m not arguing against what you’re saying. I also hope more pull away. I hope as many people as possible abandon MAGA.

        I’m trying to say there’s part of the MAGA base actively pushing women out. People talking about abolishing women’s suffrage, larping as trad-wives and generally doing everything they can to treat women like objects and not people. These things push women away.

        Other conservative women see these things and also willingly pull away from MAGA. Both things can happen. Some people in the maga movement absolutely are reducing women to just their biological sex. But don’t get mad at me for it, I’m just trying to talk about it.

          Once again that’s not what you said. Your initial comment implied that it was solely due to their sex.

          Truthfully now that you’ve fleshed it out I have no disagreement but your original comment did not represent this position

                Trust me it’s not you personally. It’s later In the day for me, and the notifications from your reply caught me after I’m already a few drinks deep, so I don’t mean any offense, I just literally can’t process all that right now. I’m sorry for sounding like a jerk. You don’t deserve that.
