Can I say something that may be insensetive? [View all]

I'm only talking numbers here, so please don't blast me. I contend that a portion of Democratic leaning, soft voters are misogynist. Now, I know a large portion of MAGAts are, but I think we lose 10% of male voters (and a handful of Female voters, especially white) because of gender bias. I'm sure that percentage is far greater among MAGAts, but we're not getting those vote anyway.

The look into the numbers has made me come to this conclusion. Remember, Misogyny is not confined to just white men, but crosses all racial, ethnic and religious groups. And please, don't think I mean all men, just 10% of men who would normally vote for a Democratic man, but can't bring themselves to vote for a woman.

Trump carried every swing state, but the Democrats won 5 of the 6 statewide contests. And when I say there are some men who won't vote for as women President, that does not flow down ballot. Who knows why, but I'm just surmising what the numbers suggest.

The good news is that the Republicans are using Trump numbers to redistrict. Those numbers won't pan out, as the voters they're counting own are not dedicated Republican voters. Now, again, for emphasis, I'm only talking about 10% of men who would generally vote for a Democrat who just can't bring themselves to vote for a woman for President.
