Are there any self respecting women still fucking republicans?

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Lots unfortunately, ~46% of women voted for Trump. Compared to 53% for Harris. This is less of a gap than there was in Biden v Trump (55% v 43%).

More than half of white women voted for Trump.

self respecting

More than half of white women who voted voted for trump. Only ~53% of white women voted at all, so about 28% of white women voted for trump

Another way to add those numbers is to say 75% of all white women didn't vote for Harris. We can twist stats all day long to try and blame someone, but the reality is that Americans are thirsty for something and Trump promised it to them. Harris failed to read the room. Society is hurting and authoritarianism is a bottle of liquor; you know it's not the best choice but at least it feels good if nobody is going to give you populism.

And the other 47% made a choice of inaction. They and the rest of us all get to deal with the consequences of that.

But no self-respecting sub would submit to a trump voter.

But that's their kink. It's quite a dilemma.

I'm kinky. Very kinky. I was invited to 2 different kink.com live shows/parties. I met my wife at a BDSM party. But on Tuesday night, I lost any interest I had in kink. BDSM withiut the sub actually being an equal is abuse. Sadly, I hope they feel the same.
