How Politics Might Sour the #MeToo Movement

l Franken, in resigning from the Senate after eight women accused him of making unwanted sexual advances, bitterly noted “the irony in the fact that I am leaving, while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the Senate with the full support of his party.” Indeed, Donald Trump remains the president of the United States, and while many Republicans have denounced retired Alabama judge Roy Moore, he seems likely to win a Senate seat next Tuesday with the full backing of the White House. Likewise, Texas Republican Rep. Blake Farenthold, who quietly settled a lawsuit from an accuser, has faced only a couple GOP calls, from women lawmakers in the party, for his resignation. With the notable exception of Representative Trent Franks, who resigned on Friday after he had allegedly asked two female staffers if he could impregnate them, it’s hard to avoid the impression that the dizzying pace of the #MeToo movement was blunted as soon as it came up against the demands of partisanship in our polarized era.

As we plunge once more into a national debate over sex, power, assault and morality, many hope this will finally be the watershed moment in which a full reckoning will take place. We’ve been here before, though, and we’ve seen such hopes fade and get overtaken by self-interested partisan political fights. And it’s happening again.

Let’s recall the fall of 1991.

The Democrats got their ass handed to them and it is going to happen again. It isn't going to change women republicans vote. My two sisters voted for Trump and would again. One very well off and the other one is not quite as wealthy. You are not going to gain anything. You young people need a history refresher.
