I’m not even a woman, and the president’s patronizing attitude to women makes me sick:
Moments after vowing to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court at his campaign rally in North Carolina on Saturday night, President Trump asked some of his female supporters in the crowd if their husbands had approved their attendance. Trump pretended to poll the crowd on who to nominate when he apparently recognized some of the women in Fayetteville from other rallies. “Ok let’s do a poll. Oh there they are. How many of these have you come to?” he said. “What is this, number what? Like, 90? I see ‘em all over the place, they’re great. I hope your husbands are okay with it. Are they okay?” He went on to say he would nominate a woman to fill the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat because “I like women much more than I like men.”
If replacing Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court with Clarence Thomas was an enduring insult to the black community, I imagine Trump’s replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be at least as offensive to women.
I’m so angry right now that I cannot even see.
Not female, but one of the few men in my suburban workplace. My XX equipped coworkers hate, hate, hate any insinuation that they are not the equal of someone with XY chromosomes. Many of my colleagues are the “suburban moms” who he is trying to win back. This will propel them further into Biden’s camp.
So will nominating any woman who is not on the side of reproductive rights. It’s like he’s high on his own supply.
Female Trump voters don’t give a shit about that.
Minority members of an in-group that do not share the attributes of the majority are going to be the loudest supporters.
Every woman at that Trump rally cheered twice as hard as any man standing next to her.
Vote early, in person.
This it very true, as far as it goes. The good news is that many women who voted for Trump in 2016 will not vote for him this year because of MAGAoffensive crap like this, and their decisions to take their support away from Trump is likely to be decisive in the election outcome
With the R senators sealing the nom with a kiss without even knowing who it is? Not bloody likely. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to give the spot to Judge Jeanine just for the ratings boost
