that women are lower in stature than black males. Women in their beliefs are only for making babies, not to be out working in the real world. So Trump winning against a woman is only the natural state of things.

However that statement to the Trumpers is saying that put Trump up against a man and he will loose like he did against Biden.

They do not think like normal people do. We have been trying to defeat the tea party with rational thought. They are not.

You don't use their hatred as your own weapon, as it implies you agree with the premise in some measure.

They might vote for a macho woman who is all bowed up and shows hatred of others, but not a feminine woman. They will however vote for man who supports women. Or they used to. I do not know about now though.

They are so afraid of loosing their "rightful" place in the world. It is weird seeing the "Christo-facists" being buddies with the Islamist, the Arabic, the Nazis. The only thing all these really have in common is their desire to put women back at the bottom of the ladder. To keep them "barefoot and pregnant and home taking care of the kids and feeding THEIR MAN.

We can keep with our existing group of candidates and be like a lot of other countries that we call dictatorships, but have multiple parties and elections. But those other parties never win but a few seats in their parliaments.

I like Pete, but at the present time he could not win, neither could Beto.

But what do I know, I am just an autistic old man.

Of two woman. One who won the popular vote and the other losing by less than 1.5% of the popular vote. Obviously, the results were not a mandate for Trumps hegemony.

The pushback is at the heart of why we lose elections. The no fun, everything is offensive club.

Not that a woman wasn’t capable or even better, but because some people in this country are misogynistic and that helped put Donvict over the finish line. Him not being able to beat a man in the past election is a big slam because he is a blatant misogynist. In the old school messed up mindset, that puts an asterisk by his 2024 “win”.

The object here is to make the viewer of the meme place women in the inferior position by suggesting that a woman cannot win against men.

The subtle implication at the end telling you that this will ‘make them feral’ is an appeal to the dark side suggesting that we want them all angry and hateful when what we really want is for them to understand and join in the movement towards that ‘more perfect union’

Of course I don't see any way to make that happen, but it's fun to think about.

is not itself misogyny any more than pointing out that racism exists is itself racism.

Failure to point out that misogyny exists will result in electing more Republicans to the Presidency (and possibly to some lower offices as well, but that can only be analyzed on a case by case business. The Presidency is a proven career killer.)

It's really not that easy to get through to them. Logic and reason won't do it. The only way is to (figuratively) hit them where it hurts. I think this would do that.

and agree about the difficulty of 'getting through' to them. I just wonder if it is, in this case, worth the possibility of reinforcing a negative concept to do so.
