Political ad ignites conservative anger over women possibly hiding their votes from their husbands - eviltoast

Summary

A video encouraging women to vote independently for Kamala Harris sparked outrage among conservative men, who called it divisive and “amoral.” The video highlights the gender gap that has widened between Harris and Trump, with recent polls showing notable leads by Harris among women and Trump among men.

Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”

Supporters argue it reflects real tensions around women’s autonomy, especially in conservative households.

    I’m willing to take bets that sometime in the Future there will be a call from Republicans for a new law that allows husbands to see how their wives have voted.

    To protect Family values… And to stop disharmony in the marriage…

    And, of course, to prevent voter fraud…

      If the Conservatives had their way, women would not be allowed to vote at all. Unfortunately, that still seems to be one of their goals. I mean, Trump and his henchmen have already made sure that women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies, which I have to admit I thought was impossible in a Western country. What makes you think they’re going to leave it at taking away women’s right to a secret ballot? These people want to reverse advances in civilization like women’s right to vote all together. That’s what conservative means to them: back to the Middle Ages. In this sense, they are little different from other religious extremists such as the Taliban. Their goals might be a little different but their means are pretty much the same.

        If conservatives had their way, men would vote on behalf of their wives and unmarried adult daughters.

      Gotta stop voter fraud, by letting those who commit election interference and believe the system is compromised to control it. No way that could go wrong.

      They’ll pass laws that will give men an extra vote for each child they have (because they are “more invested in the future”) and while we’re at it let’s allow them to vote for the entire family to cut down on voting lines.
