John Gibbs (men are smarter than women, women shouldn't have vote) loses to Dem.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/21/politics/john-gibbs-womens-suffrage-19th-amendment-kfile/index.html

John Gibbs, who defeated in the primary an incumbent Republican who had voted to impeach Trump, also made comments in the early 2000s praising an organization trying to repeal the 19th Amendment which also argued that women's suffrage had made the United States into a "totalitarian state."

As a student at Stanford University in the early 2000s, Gibbs founded a self-described "think tank" called the Society for the Critique of Feminism that argued women did not "posess (sic) the characteristics necessary to govern," and said men were smarter than women because they are more likely to "think logically about broad and abstract ideas in order to deduce a suitable conclusion, without relying upon emotional reasoning."

As a 60 y/o white male, I'm disgusted by my demographic.

when I see footage of large groups of all white people at Evangelical Christian colleges, it is disgusting. I saw this in a movie a few days ago.

Given the demographics of the U.S., you know that didn't happen by chance.

MAGAts are the most emotional people on the planet. Unfortunately they overuse the emotions of hate and anger. They can't seem to break through the anger and hate barrier, to use compassion and love, the strongest of all a person's emotions.

I pity them. 😕

That’s why you see women forming gangs and killing & beating other persons up.
That’s why all the major wars and conflicts began. Women just can’t control themselves.

Raising the voting age, taking away a women's right to vote. Are these Neanderthals serious about all this? Women have MORE than earned the right to have a say in how the governing body they live under is organized.

You want the women vote? Perhaps don't be a fascist.
