Women Vote – And It’s Making MAGA Men Crazy

Women Vote – And It’s Making MAGA Men Crazy

WITH Election Day just around the corner, conservative influencers are openly worried about women voteespecially since NBC News reports Harris has a 33-point lead among women.

Some of these influencers are upset at the idea of ​​a woman having the freedom to choose who she votes for, while others are throwing tantrums about women being allowed to vote at all. But this outrage is a predictable development in a movement that prides itself on its performative machismo And blatant misogyny.

Just this week, John McEntee, a former Trump campaign official and Project 2025 adviser, shared video in which he openly proposes to abolish women’s suffrage in order to ensure a “male-only” vote. When Kamala Harris’ campaign criticized his video, McEntee replied“Relax, relax, these are just jokes… if only. ”

Elsewhere, Turning Point USA founder and far-right activist Charlie Kirk, the main merchant of everything “only real men vote for trump” propagandaworried about women showing any political independence. Kirk seemed shocked by Democratic advertising it reminds women that their voice is private and not necessarily the same as their husband’s. During a recent podcast appearance, he shuddered at the thought that some Republican women might “undermine their husbands” by voting for Harris, even though, he said, their husband is “working as hard as he can to make sure she can have good life.”

Kirk seems quite concerned about all this, as evidenced by his strong reaction to reports of the number of women voting. “Early voting was disproportionately female,” he said. published on Wednesday on X, adding that “if men stay home, Kamala will become president.” It’s that simple.” He ended his post by saying, “Men need to go vote now.” This is in line with the hysteria in other parts of the MAGA social media ecosystem, as far-right influencers like Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, McEntee and others trying to rally MAGA men to the polls. You can almost hear the alarm reading this post from the editor-in-chief of the ultra-conservative satirical news site Babylon Bee:

I guess MAGA women don’t move “fat pig” husbands, as Trump called them, come to the polls quite quickly.

Fox News host Jesse Watters used a brutal (if extremely vague) World War II metaphor to scold wives who vote differently than their husbands, saying that if his wife had voted for Kamala Harris, it would have been “D-Day.” ” and “D-Day”. the same as having an affair.”

In the evangelical community, where reaction to feminism was particularly repressive, MAGA men more openly condemned women for showing even the slightest bit of political independence.

MAGA Pastor Dale Partridge said on social media Tuesday that “in a Christian marriage, the wife should vote as the husband directs” because “he is the head and they are one” – unless he says vote democratand in this case it does not apply. “It’s not controversial,” Partridge said.

Although this seems quite controversial to me.

In an episode of his podcast last week, Joel Webbon, another popular far-right pastor, doubled about his earlier statement that the 19th Amendment should be repealed. Webbon said women’s political choices should be left to the men in their lives, whether they are their husbands, fathers, brothers or uncles.

Days before the election, the misogyny of the MAGA movement is on full display. They simply cannot contain their outrage at the fact that women – at least for now – have the freedom to make their own choices at the ballot box. And it seems they are finally beginning to understand that their youthful bravado and unabashed chauvinism may come back to haunt them.
