…Says the guy who appears on TV wearing makeup, with sculpted hair, and with manicured nails. Whatever dude.
To be clear: I don’t think there’s anything wrong with guys having any of the things I just mentioned. Not my personal thing, but if you are a guy who likes them then more power to you. But according to Fox News, none of those things are ‘manly’. So the hypocrisy of this clown is palpable.
It seems like a stupid statement that deserves to be made fun of, which it is, but it’s also indicative of one of the dark parts of the conservative mindset. There’s the bigotry of course, but there’s another layer on top of that. It’s like, since you are obviously one of the good true Americans (a straight white male, naturally), it is beneath you to submit to being ruled by one of those “others.”
Submission to a weak inferior sub-human leader is a weak and cowardly act. It is also an insult to your fellow nobles, so you are betraying yourself and “your people” by voting for somebody who is clearly not the right type of person.
Repeat and reinforce this shit over years and decades, make it part of your group identity, and you get things like “better a Russian/felon than a Democrat” (because democrats love being cucks for “diverse” people obviously) and a deep-seated visceral reaction to somebody who is an other in so many ways. A woman AND multiple nonwhite races, oh my!

Dude needs to look into who Margaret Thatcher was and her politics. See how much that gums up his brain gears, because, even outside the fact she was a woman, she was a conservative’s ultimate fantasy.
To give three things off the top of my head that might make modern Cons sour on her: She accepted the science on climate change, wanted the UK in the EU, and ceased arms sales to Israel in 1982 due to the invasion of Lebanon.
She’s not culture wars enough for them, even if she was economically ruinous, just as they desire.
What they really want is a Thatcher Mechagodzilla who spouts all the culture wars lines they want, has huge stomping feet that kill poor people, and fires detransitioning lasers from its eyes. It can also be AI powered and take away the need for any thinking or education at all.
Not all con states want to secede from the union, but then again they’re not islands, so that one’s hard to gauge.
Also, most con politicians here were very invested in remaining in Europe right up until we weren’t. The promise of a referendum was a hail Mary to try to win the votes of a particular contingent of voters. They got the votes, but never expected the referendum to go the way it did. Leopard, meet face.
Now they’re having to pretend it was the intention all along. Make the best of it, etc.
There’s also an argument to be made that her stance on climate change was entirely because of the desire to hurt the workers of the fossil fuel industry, especially one in particular, which outweighed all other priorities.
The Israel thing I don’t know too much about, but I can be virtually certain it wasn’t about protecting the people of Lebanon from a bully.
That’s so weird because I’ve voted for more than a few US presidents, and yet I’m still a woman.
Do it. Become women. Bring your cat and join the coven of our eternal sisterhood!
I was promised broomstick flights
Oh broomsticks are outdated. Try barbells!
I’d rather identify as a woman than whatever he thinks a man is.
Well it’s obvious, a man is someone who votes for a male.
It’s why there is not one female Trump supporter.
Any woman who supports trump is a man.
That would explain ton about the governor of Arkansas.
But I already have a child and I’m allergic to cats!
(I’ll take the risk and vote for Harris anyway though.)
Toads are fin too. I don’t see how having a child is an issue either.
Can’t be a childless cat lady if I have a kid and don’t have any cats.
I have two dogs though.
You don’t have to be childless to be a witch. In truth, you don’t even have to be a woman to be a witch.
Very true.
Conversely, people who vote for Trump transition to soiling themselves daily
His mom is right, he’s an embarrassment.
And women who vote for men grow beards overnight. End women’s suffrage; save on razor blades and shaving cream!
Does anyone hear me complaining about the breasts?
Do I get a pair of traveling pants at the voting booth?
When you are too nuts for Jeanine Pirro you are too nuts
Oh, it depends who you’re nuts against. I bet it’s much easier to piss her off with rhetoric that targets what she considers to be her achievements specifically.
Ok. So don’t vote for Majorie Tyalor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Joni Earnst, Marcia Blackburn, Kay Ivey, Kristi Noem… I can literally keep going for a very long time.
transphobes: men can’t become women
cis man: votes for a woman
transphobes: omg you became a woman!
this is guy is criminally dumb
