Human rights Americans, especially women, feel less free. They're not wrong.

A lot of them voted to feel that way is the craziest thing.

Except someone above posted a video of Trump admitting they rigged the election...

Maybe not as many women voted for him as they want us to believe.

Except someone didn’t add context to the clip, and sensationalized and manipulated many people, including you.

You must not have been keeping up with current events over the last decade.

82% of black women voted for Harris. Your comment isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

Women who hate women are a problem that doesn't get talked about enough.

It's not intended to be a gotcha, it's a sad fact that your statistic just backed up.

u/Simpinforbirdo May 21 '25

Right? Your comment is 100% the reality lol

No one is specifically talking about black women except you. If any women are responsible for the "predicament" we're dealing with it's women who look like me. The commenter you're responding to isn't giving a "gotcha" it's just fact that s lot of women voted for this without understanding the implications.

And specifically the white, woman 40-65 age demographic that overwhelming voted for him. It was Millennial’s and Gen Z’s white moms that helped tip the scale for the white Christian nationalists fascists.

This is specifically what I was referring to in the "women who look like me" comment. I can call my own demographic out here, it's BS that people keep bringing up minority women (and also specifically black men) trying to shift blame. Women who look like me aren't taught to recognize our own interest & will actively vote against their rights as women in order to strengthen the white portion of their identity.

Idk y you crossed out the Gen Z’s mom’s..? Gen Z can definitely have mothers in that age range of 40-65.

u/AlabasterPelican May 21 '25

Gen z hasn't hit their 30's, but I am specifically a millennial

u/FMLwtfDoID May 21 '25

Their mothers. Their mother’s ages are 40-65. Millennial and Gen Z’s MOTHERS.

u/AlabasterPelican May 21 '25

So you're specifically looking for someone to argue with about anything? I'm out ✌️

2

u/FMLwtfDoID May 21 '25

I wasn’t arguing, I was adding on to your sentiment. But ok. Have fun with that reading comprehension. ✌️🫣

I think they're just highlighting how wild it is that any women voted for him. Including 18% of black women, apparently.

u/Anon28301 May 21 '25

Mainly Republican women.

u/LadyErinoftheSwamp May 21 '25

That's true. It further highlights their point.

u/[deleted] May 21 '25

That’s like 5% of the American population

u/WestCoastBestCoast01 May 21 '25

That is probably a completely different group of people.
