    Yeah man I'm sure a young woman is going to want to vote for the guy who took her reproductive health away. Yes, yes I know it's for Kamala, but tf does Trump offer to women who don't want the handmaid's tale?

      Self-loathing is a hell of a drug, and white women like the superiority and privilege that comes with their status under white-supremacist patriarchal structures.

        Temptations to be "the good one" for profit or adoration are a thing. death-to-the-poor

        Even "progressive" white women will have blind spots. They'll turn into the most rabid of fascists when it comes to foreign policy or have serious hang ups regarding LGBTQ+ people.

        It'd be remiss, though, to ignore there being a good chance the leader of the white patriarchy will be a mixed woman of color. Isn't living in the rainbow Weimer Republic fun?

          the leader

          The President of the United States is probably just as ceremonial as Zaphod Beeblebrox at this point — to draw attention from the true rulers of the US. They seem to do great at that.

      from experience... it's just culture war addicted fascists or plain old indoctrinated from birth religious conservatism
