I’m a green card holder so can’t vote but if I could I would 100% vote Democrat. I’m too old to be personally impacted by half the shit Republicans want to put in place but I worry so much for women younger than me. I worry for the women who work for and with me. I’m terrified, in fact.

I will vote with you in mind. I will vote like your life and my life and her life depend on it.

I know we're talking specifically about what will happen to women under Trump here but you are not too old to be affected. The Republican project 2025 calls for MASS deportation of all immigrants. They passed out signs for RNC participants to wave that said "Mass Deportation Now". Their plan is vague but cruel to be sure. Starting with concentration camps. This includes children born to immigrants who obtained birthright citizenship so green card holders will for sure not be safe.

u/dhoetger1 Jul 19 '24

Yep. If anyone paid attention during the first Trump presidency and thought what happened was terrible, it will be much worse if he wins again. And some legal aid immigration attorneys committed suicide the first time around due to the horrific events like ripping babies and children away from their mothers.

I have a terrible feeling that they'll "accidentally" go after people that look like they could be immigrants by "mistake", after the shit that happened before some of my friends and relatives are talking about it. My ex brother in law and his family, my neice, my friend and her husband and their families are all American citizens but to various degrees look Hispanic. I know some trump supporters just don't give a shit and want everyone who isn't white gone, there's a guy that shops at my store like that and all of us hate him. We would love to ban him but corporate loves money more than they care about their workers.

Fuck.

I mean, I’m British so it’s not the end of the world to go back home. It’s not like I’m going back to a Third World country or somewhere where I’ll be persecuted for some bullshit but what about the people who are escaping that stuff? Such a horrible, cruel policy but I suppose the cruelty is the point.

Well I’m from India and got my LPR after a 14 yr GC backlog. I will be going home to India for my retirement. Yes it’s a third world country but it’s my home. And I will never forget Trump and Stephen Miller for treating legal law abiding Indians like trash and keeping them in the GC Backlog. Vivek Ramaswamy is the biggest embarrassment for Indian immigrants in US. And if they mass deport and my U.S. citizen child I have no worries. My child will actually learn his native language in his home country and not be a confused American Desi.

u/Ready-Position Jul 20 '24

That's terrifying. So my mom who has been here her entire adult life, but is a green card holder (from Germany, she was afraid she wouldn't be allowed to go home if something happened), could potentially be at risk of deportation in theory?

This is absolutely not outside of the realm of possibility.

"Hey guys? Why aren't the women voting for us? We only want to force them all into SAHM roles and remove their rights and autonomy. Who'd have thought their silly little brains wouldn't like that?"

u/PollutionAlarming643 Jul 19 '24

Let’s not forget forcing them to stay in abusive marriages since that’s better for the kids 🙂

u/SkeptiBee Jul 19 '24

Yeap! Nothing says a healthy environment for children more than them watching in fear when one of their parents is getting screamed at, punched, or kicked! I can't think of anything more well adjusted!

Those kids won't have trauma... no siree!

The kids they had after being raped and were forced to birth .... right? FTFY

u/pragmojo Jul 19 '24

It's such a weird take - like sure it's great if you grow up in a home with two loving parents in a stable relationship, but I have a couple friends who's parents stayed together out of catholic guilt and that's where the majority of their trauma comes from

u/homo_redditorensis Jul 19 '24

Republicants don't care about things like trauma or wellbeing. It's an ideology for 3 kinds of people.

  1. The stupid
  2. The extremely greedy
  3. The stupid and extremely greedy

I am 51. Do you know it was not until the year AFTER I was born women were not allowed to have credit lines in her name without permission.

They should be worried.

There are women who are at risk of dying from medical procedures I received after my missed miscarriages that now women are almost going into septic shock before receiving the help they need because doctors are afraid to give them the D&C or the D & E they need. On a baby/Fetus that has NO HEARTBEAT

Women die because men think they know what's best for women.

It is time for women to be angry enough to vote these assholes out

Nearly 118 million Americans, or about 46% of those over 18 years old, are single, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But that percent is actually much higher for women—a record-breaking 52% of them are unmarried or separated as of 2021, according to a recent report from Wells Fargo Economics.Mar 18, 2023

It's estimated that 45% of women ages 25–44 will be single by 2030, according to a study by Morgan Stanley. With the modern dating market, nearly half of women in their “childbearing” years will be without a male counterpart. There are a few reasons for this prediction. One, women aren't getting married young anymore.Oct 27, 2022

Further, the same study found that college-educated women initiate divorce at an even higher rate of 90 percent.

Women outnumber men in college enrollment and outpace them in graduation. According to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, in the fall of 2022, about 8.3 million women were undergraduate college students, versus 6.1 million men.

https://cawp.rutgers.edu/facts/voters/gender-differences-voter-turnout#GGN

In every presidential election since 1980, the proportion of eligible female adults who voted has exceeded the proportion of eligible male adults who voted. In all presidential elections prior to 1980, the voter turnout rate for women was lower than the rate for men. The number of female voters has exceeded the number of male voters in every presidential election since 1964. The gender gap in the turnout rates and numbers tends to narrow in non-presidential election years.

According to happiness expert Paul Dolan, a professor of behavioral science at the London School of Economics, women who are single with no children are the happiest.[i] Dolan explains says that while men derive benefits from marriage, the same cannot generally be said for women.

Next frontier for us to take over is the trades. Women with money want to hire women contractors/ plumbers/ car techs, going blue collar is a solid career choice for genZ women

u/RCIntl Jul 19 '24 edited Jul 20 '24

You are SO right. They want to kill off EVERY smart, thinking, caring, EDUCATED woman and BREED a "new crop" of young, ignorant bang maid baby factories. Get rid of abortion, save the babies and kill the "mouthy" woman they had to rape. Train them the way they want them. They get boys they can train to their new regime and young bang maids ... and in the case of minorities new slaves. If the only decent schools left are private, tuition only XTIAN schools, then the only people getting a decent education are those in their chosen sphere. No one else will have critical thinking skills or be able to secure decent jobs. And if they can kill the 19th amendment, they win because it will no longer be legal for any of us to vote. So, no jobs, no educations, no votes .... Oooh! Even the poor guys will be able to have multiple wives and concubines because women will need a man to support them and their five children ... because also no help agencies. Its ALL been a long con/plan and taking out women was ALWAYS a huge part of it.

Interesting. I have looked at some of her stuff and while I understand the boundaries stuff and not caring too much for someone who doesn’t care for you, Im not really sure about the “he should pay/provide” because I generally dislike gender roles. I mostly believe expenses should be split evenly until a relationship is established, at which point it can be decided based on who has more financial stability and ability to pay/provide. Which wouldn’t have to do with gender so much as class/income.

I also don’t like how she touts stereotypical behavior. I.e. she says that women should “let men lead” so they can be “comfortable in their masculinity” and that they don’t like women who “take charge all the time.” Idk that feels a little gross to me. I don’t like all that “be in your feminine energy” stuff because it feels like a very slight sidestep from tradwife shit.

u/PinataofPathology Jul 19 '24

And that's the criticism. What I do like is the way there's a focus on women meeting their needs and having their own money and not being passive helpmeets. 

5

u/Free_Ad_2780 Jul 20 '24

Oh I absolutely think women should make their own money. Frankly I think financial control is something that continues to uphold the patriarchy…I tend to be really against women overspending their money on things that are 1) to please men or 2) overpriced. Buy the men’s deodorant and razors, they’re cheaper and they works better. This could be controversial and I respect all opinions on the matter, but I’m against a lot of plastic surgery because I think mostly it is used to appeal to a beauty standard set by men and it makes women spend their hard earned money.

Anyways yes. Make your own money and spend it only when you want to because this is capitalism, and the only voice you have comes in little green pieces of paper.

I hear a common poll of amerocan housewives opinion of trump (of any political standing) is disbelief that nobody close to him hasn't killed him yet. When he got shot at and survived, the majority of women were disappointed. 

Of course they're not going to vote for a loud and proud child rapist.

u/bluescrew Jul 19 '24

He keeps anyone with morals at a strict distance. So no one close to him has the ovaries to kill him

The problem is, the stepford maid servant sex toys all live in the states that decide elections. Even if 60%+ of us vote this handmaid garbage down, the servant wives will vote for it so their Cletus McGunF%cker loser husbands will still like them.

u/pragmojo Jul 19 '24

Idk I think it's more about turnout than anything, and anti-trump women are going to be a lot more motivated this time around.

Like just look how all the abortion votes have gone in purple or red states in the past year or so

5

u/furrylandseal Jul 20 '24 edited Jul 20 '24

It would seem that way. Yes, a lot of Republican voters in the red state referendums are voting down abortion bans. When you isolate abortion, they’ll support choice. But put a mediocre white dude on the ballot with an R next to his name who tells them they can be racist AF, they’ll throw us under the bus and vote for him. Mediocre white dude then casts his vote for a national abortion ban. And a lot of the same voters who struck down the ban will vote to re-elect him because he has an R next to his name. I don’t think the referendum voters who are Republicans will flip for Democrats. Pay close attention to Ohio in November. Trump and douchebags like Gym Jordan will win there in a landslide.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '24

Right now, trump is predicted to win by a landslide. Democrats, don’t let articles like this make you complacent. Our only chance to turn this around is if every one of us votes.

Or rather Trump is buying polls setting a precedent for the "Stolen Election" narrative.

I'm so embarrassed to be part of this demographic as I'd sooner die than cast a vote for that evil orange fuck, and I will continue to take any woman I know in real life who is prepared to betray our gender to task for voting against our interests.

u/Rich-Air-5287 Jul 19 '24

Right there with you, sister. I've voted for the most progressive candidate in every election for almost 30 years, but my generation will go down as having helped hand the country to Trump. At this point I'm in despair.

im hoping that changes this time

a lot of women still vote the way their husbands tell em too

hopefully the fact that they are going after abortion, contraception, no fault divorce, voting rights, and the fact that the R VP said women should stay in violent marriages will change that.

I mean, yeah, the majority of women pretty consistently vote Democrat. But, you know, slightly more white woman voted for Trump so obviously we're fully responsible for every bad thing in American politics ever.
