Donald Trump and Bernie Moreno rage at "crazy" female voters who refuse to fall in line
MAGA candidates can't hide their irritation that women are allowed to think for themselves

(Salon) As Steve Kornacki of NBC News explained Monday, the polling gender gap between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is "off the charts." New polling by NBC shows a 58-37% split with women favoring the Democrat in the presidential race, but men back the Republican candidate 52-40%. Taken together, that's a shocking 33-point gender gap between men and women.

This is hopeful news for a few reasons. Harris leads with women more than Trump leads with men, pushing her ahead in the national poll. Women tend to vote more than men and, in fact, have turned out in higher numbers in every presidential election since 1980. There's every reason to believe that trend will continue, as concerns about abortion bans continue to activate female voters in large numbers. In light of this and his myriad personality disorders, it's not a surprise that Trump is screaming at women voters like he's accusing a soon-to-be-ex-wife of ingratitude.

What ties Trump and Moreno's rants together is a deep resentment that they have to care what women think at all. In his speech, Trump can't hide his irritation that women's legitimate concerns about healthcare access are interrupting what he cares about, like his bizarre fantasies about cat-eating immigrants. His order to women to "be happy, healthy, confident and free" was said in an angry tone that made it clear this is more a threat than a promise. As Chait notes, "Why do I get the feeling Trump has made a version of this spiel in his personal life?" Which is to say, Trump doesn't actually think he'll make American women healthy or confident, but he does feel, if he wins, he will have the power to force them to pretend otherwise.

It makes sense that most outlets, covering Trump's "protector" remarks, highlighted his history of sexual assault, which he bragged about on tape and was proved true in a court of law. The irony is just too much, hearing a sexual predator appoint himself the "protector" of people he likes to assault. But really, his rant exposes the sexist attitudes that feed his impulse towards sexual violence. Trump outlines what he expects of women: to be compliant, smiling, uncomplaining objects that serve him without protest. When women show flashes of having minds of their own, however, he reacts with rage. He spent the entire debate with Harris glowering at having to tolerate this woman talking back to him. And, famously, when journalist E. Jean Carroll laughed at him, however gently, he flipped out and violently assaulted her in a department store dressing room. ................(more)

2. That's all they have. Their candidate is crazy

and out of control .

3. Somehow, we have to lower that number of men supporting him. Maybe we should start talking about how

the abortion issue is also an economic issue and, thanks to DNA, a guy could end up with 18 years of child support after a one-night stand. MAGA men have got to stop thinking of themselves as being in charge of women. And MAGA women need to wake the fuck up.

12. Agreed wholeheartedly with you reply, Vin!

I believe we have to start emphasizing consequences for men when a woman tests as pregnant. It obviously took two to tango, and she didn't do it all on her own. The only way she could become pregnant is if a man was involved. We have to change this hypocritical attitude that keeps getting passed from one generation to the next that men are the "stronger" sex. For example, I'd really like to see a man birth a baby. If a bowling ball had to pass thru any of his orifices, abortion would be a sacrament! But beyond the strength it takes to survive 9 months of growing another person and the pain and danger it takes to actually birth it, men are NOT the stronger sex because they can't even control their urges. At least, that's what we're all passively expected to agree with. Women can just keep their knees shut... but for me, it's nature calling in forcing those knees apart and having their way. Men can't control their emotions; they can't control their actions; they can't control their urges. But we're suppose to buy into the idea they're the stronger sex? Why? Because they can lift 200 pounds? We're no longer in the "oog must have new spear to hunt" phase of mankind's existence. It's women's nurturing of children, men, animals, and plants that keep us going these days. Men who have learned to farm are much stronger than "oog" in my opinion. It's about time the he-men of the universe are made to pay the consequences for their actions in ways that actually make a difference. And writing a small check each month just isn't going to cut it as long as they keep stripping women's rights from women... IMNSHO.

4. This stood out for me:

As Chait notes, "Why do I get the feeling Trump has made a version of this spiel in his personal life?"

I have often notice that the women in Trump’s personal life, his wife, his daughters, his son’s wives and girlfriends, and even women who work around him, all look like the were created out of the same mold in a factory somewhere.

During the 2016 campaignthey were all standing next to each other in a line on stage, Don, Jr. was still married to his ex-wife, and the scene chilling. They looked like Stepford wives. It reminded me of the Richard Palmer video “Simply Irresistible.”

This is the way Trump sees women. Those who break the mold are a threat and are his enemies.

And we are coming after you, little man, so Sleep Well…

7. Ahhh, those "nasty" women!

I don't think yelling and throwing ketchup is going to do the trick, Donny.

8. And Nikki Haley is like, "Don't say the quiet parts out loud or you'll lose the election."

Apparently, it's perfectly fine to be a misogynist and make misogynist policies to take away womens' rights when in office -- just don't get yourself shitcanned during the elections or you'll never get to wield that power!

Evil person. Deplorable on every level. Hopefully it won’t be too long before he is incarcerated.
