When they are older and not as attractive any more, the old rich guy will dump them for a young chick.

Predators like these need to vanish, they have no place in a modern society.

is that in his public persona, he tried to hide his vile abuse of women.

In other words, the pull of civil society rightfully disparaging his actions as despicable, immoral, disgusting and vile, caused him to hide.

In MAGAt world, despicable, immoral, disgusting and vileness is celebrated and elevated to the most prominent seat of power in the land.

It's not that misogyny and sexual abuse/exploitation of women hasn't existed before...it's that it's never been normalized and mainstreamed like Donnie Dipshit and the MAGAts have done.

Weinstein would NEVER be elected "leader of the free world" by Dem voters....MAGAts? Not so much.

as it is being too comfortable with the notion.

they don't have to worry about things like a man raping them or beating them. They like to believe that those things happen to other women because those women talk back or "act like sluts."

is tied to the men in their lives (and these men are nothing to brag about). Loyal supporters of the patriarchy, they are openly contemptuous of women who speak for themselves.. Kamala Harris, AOC, etc.

A high school classmate of (we're now in our late 50s) lost her husband a during Trump's 1st term. She voted for Trump in '20 and '24 because that's what her husband "would have wanted" -- on election day, she even posted on Facebook a pic of her late husband holding a Trump flag.. honoring his wishes.

So long as they don't have to worry about the loss of their special princess status.
Many of them use their victimhood, their "sacrifice" as a weapon - "You must take care of me, you signed the contract!"
Others are happy enough to become partners in crime because they're sitting comfortable and they don't have to be responsible for anything but making sure the set dressing in their lives looks good to outsiders.

or not.

song sung by Wynette who, sadly enough, reportedly was a victim of spousal abuse (which, of course, she denied).

Do rich men or more accurately men with resources stay with one woman anyway?!? Their hero himself has had multiple wives and affairs. These guys don’t take vows or relationships seriously. They are after all “independently” wealthy.

While these women’s viewpoints may be interesting for those who want to plumb the depths of the human soul, they ain’t worth much more than a curiosity in my mind.

Given their intelligence, I’d bet they’re infrequent voters and generally unmotivated for the most part. At least I hope so.

There is also a heavy dose of racism. Look at the voting patterns since 1964.

I guess this is the MAGA mindset where everyone must obey and serve "Daddy." They feel compelled to support and defend their oppressors despite being abused by them.

Their support of right-wing ideas stems from the perception that male violence is everywhere and uncontrollable. They think by embracing "traditional values," it ensures their safety from male violence, especially rape. Never underestimate this mindset; it happens with women from all backgrounds, but it is especially true with women on the right. They think marriage "protects" them, and they believe in the exaggerated threat of sexual violence from strangers to limit their own movements and interests. It is all lies, but these lies are hard for them to shake.

In other words, to them it is a matter of survival to side with the political right.

Brainwashed by Fox. Brainwashed by Newsmax. Brainwashed by the Epoch Times. Brainwashed by right wing opinion editorials in their local newspaper. Brainwashed by OAN. Brainwashed by Twitter / X and Facebook. Brainwashed by their megachurch hate pastors. Brainwashed by podcasts. The list goes on and on.

And more importantly - they've been brainwashed since birth. This generation was brainwashed by their grandparents who listened to Rush Limbaugh and Jimmy Swaggart. And the kids growing up were brainwashed by the current generation (my generation) who watched Fox News and then moved to Infowars and Newsmax.

It's a venerable circle jerk of brainwashing.
