Shocker! 53% of white women voted for Trump.

I guess it's not abortion uber alles after all.

I’d like to speak to the manager.

The election did not go the way I wanted it to go. I’m angry. I demand a redo.

Except that’s already Karen’s line, and the election did go her way.

A quick refresher on Karen: The name, which became a widespread meme around 2019, has been used to describe a certain type of middle- or upper-middle-class white woman who overexerts her privilege in situations she finds to be unfair. Her angst is often aimed at service workers and people of color.

Karen’s viral acts include calling the police on a young Black girl selling water on her block, throwing her grocery basket at Trader Joe’s employees when asked to wear a mask during the pandemic and calling the police on a Black family who dared to barbecue in the park.

Commentary: ‘Karen’ is an easy target. The truth about white nationalism is much worse
July 9, 2020

Karen’s latest act of aggression in service of protecting her own self-interest? Voting for Donald Trump.

National exit polls show that 53% of white women voted for an adjudicated rapist whose previous actions in office laid waste to Roe vs. Wade. So much for Democrats tapping into the hidden power of a “silent majority” of women who were thought to be hiding their political views from their husbands. They were in step with white men, 59% of whom voted for the former president.

Remember way back to, say, three weeks ago, when the media and pollsters were prognosticating that Black men were leaving Harris for the other side? They were going to throw the election to the Republicans, many worried. But the very same exit polls show that just 20% of those men voted for Trump, and Black women’s support for him was barely at 7%. Both were nearly identical to 2020 levels, according to exit polls.

As disappointed Harris supporters perform a postmortem on the vice president’s candidacy in an effort to root out America’s entrenched misogyny, they need to look in an entirely different direction — toward (white) women themselves.

More than 150 years after Susan B. Anthony was arrested for the crime of voting while female, we’ve still had just two female contenders who’ve made it to the top of the presidential ticket. Both lost to the same candidate, a man with less experience in lawmaking and public service but more disdain for women and their rights than any nominee in modern memory.

For many, it’s hard to imagine a mother or auntie who thinks it preferable to vote for a man who paid hush money to a porn star and bragged about groping women than for a scandal-free female candidate with more experience in politics. Or that such a large swath of women were unmoved to change their vote despite rape victims forced to give birth to their attacker’s child for lack of abortion access, or by deaths due to pregnancy complications in states where the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision has led to restrictions on doctors.

But these weak sisters exist — and persist. The same share of white women that voted for Trump over Harris, based on exit polls, supported Trump over Biden in 2020, which followed the plurality of white women who supported Trump over Clinton in 2016.

The question is, why does this keep happening? And is there any hope of the left changing the grim pattern? Democratic “campaign experts” apparently think so. They keep giving Karen four more years to see the light. By gum, the old girl will get it soon!

I don’t buy the argument that Clinton and Harris weren’t strong candidates, especially considering who they were up against. Trump had no experience in governance going into the 2016 election, and 34 felony convictions headed into 2024, with a questionable track record on everything from pandemic deaths to the economy.

Yes, that’s right, the economy, which the media now point to en masse as a driving factor in Trump’s victory. Let’s get real. Trump was the first president since Herbert Hoover to depart office with fewer jobs in the country than when he entered. To paraphrase Democratic operative James Carville, it’s about identity, stupid. In our uniquely fractured times, Trump and his allies like Joe Rogan and Elon Musk have weaponized racism and misogyny, including of the self-inflicted variety, to create their winning coalition.

They are building on a long tradition, of course. For a country that loves to shout, “We’re No. 1!” we’re woefully behind the rest of the world when it comes to electing female leaders.

Mexico elected a female president. Pakistan chose a female prime minister — in 1988. There are, or have been, women elected as heads of state and government in Honduras, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Guyana, Ireland, Britain, Israel and Germany. Throw a dart anywhere on a world map and she’s there, or has been there, leading nations and governments that Americans often label as inferior or intolerant.

From the perspective of those who see Trump as a danger to democracy, this election marks an incredibly dark turn for our nation. I won’t cry “fraud” or “vote-rigging” — that’s a MAGA thing. But I will blame some of my sorrow over the outcome of this election on Karens. These women weren’t hiding their vote for Harris from their Trump-loving husbands. They were hiring a supervisor who understands entitlement.

Now we’ll see how quickly he responds when they demand to speak to the manager.
 
Tell white men they're colonizers, rapists, and killers and they won't vote for you.

Tell white women that crying for help when being attacked or threatened by black men is murder and racist, that they're 'Karents', that they're single-handedly responsible for the continuation of slavery, and that they deserved to be locked in vulnerable spaces with men in dresses that they cannot offend by asserting themselves, and they won't vote for you.

Tell black people that they're obligated to vote for you because of JFK even though they do nothing to earn that vote and they won't vote for you.

There's a recurring pattern here of the left burning bridges wherever they go. If you tell people they're bad because of their gender, race, sexuality, or whatever you've made up on the top of your head, guess what? They aren't going to give you their vote!

We have this problem in liberty-minded circles, too. If you constantly berate women or look down on them, they won't give us their vote.

Nothing has been more fun than reading/watching progressives lose it upon discovering that white women and Gen Z voters swayed Trump, honestly. It's fantastic to see how they've burned so many bridges and still can't figure out that they should change their messaging. Literally. I saw on another forum where one dem pointed this out, but the reaction was for everyone to double-down on lecturing people about their privilege and how their existence is a threat to minorities because they don't want people in their party who aren't ideologically pure.

Total lunacy.

Also, many people are voting based on the economy. In the great Hierarchy of Voter's Needs, safety to walk your streets and the ability to buy groceries, housing, and gasoline are probably the bottom block. Those have to be met before people will worry that much about foreign policy, social justice, abortion, etc. Guess which party was in power when all that became unaffordable?
 
Damn. She almost got it.

I was so excited during the first half of that article. Then she just went to shit.


People don' trust politicians any longer. She still thinks that women with lawmaking and public service experience are the main factors people use to choose.
Those are just terms for Establishment.

And she thinks Kamala "Willie Brown's Mistress" Harris is "scandal free." I don't agree with her analysis. But the facts are all so obvious. Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris trying to make this election about abortion didn't win the white woman vote.
 
It's times like this I don't fully regret the passing of the 19th amendment.

It of course was and remains still a mistake, however.

Harris still got more votes from women overall. So in the years since the 19th Amendment was passed, they still have a perfect record of voting wrong.

...

It was shit from the very beginning. She twisted the meaning of "Karen" to be a racist white woman. The article was full of hate and vitriol.

It just once again proves the Iron Law of Woke Projection. They are the ones seething with hate at every turn.
 
Could it be that women are individual people?!! And some of them make decisions that differ from yours?!

Nah, gotta be Karens
 
From the perspective of those who see Trump as a danger to democracy

Achieving a political victory by more people voting for your candidate is now a danger to democracy?

Do these people even listen to themselves?

And if that is not "democracy" then what is it they are talking about?

(Yes, I know these are rhetorical questions...)

Looks like the Puerto Rican roast joke had no negative impact either.

So, what the Marxists tried to do is win a national election with three constituencies: black women, AWFULs and queeers.

I would like to see a breakdown between married women and unmarried/divorced women.

I mean, the democrats were actually out there encouraging married women to lie to their husbands.


(seriously think about that for a minute. They wanted women to deceive their own families for their own power.)

Why? Are you curious about who was smart enough not to vote? Or did you want to see the breakdown of how many people are working so hard to perpetuate the system, the billionaire's club, and toward a Technocratic Society?

:rolleyes:

Tired trope. We get it. No need to spam every thread with the same crap. We know you think voting is the devil.

You guys are "spamming" more than I ever could with all of this "vote vote vote! we need faith in government again and want so bad to implement WEF's Technocratic Governance!"

Talk about "spamming" :rolleyes: JC, I get it already.

LOL. I'll be honest. I didn't read through the entire article. I got everything I wanted from the headline. I did see this looking back at it.

Mexico elected a female president. Pakistan chose a female prime minister — in 1988. There are, or have been, women elected as heads of state and government in Honduras, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Guyana, Ireland, Britain, Israel and Germany.

Note when name women elected to head of state she did not mention Margaret Thatcher. I wonder why?
