Summary:

Amid rising early voting numbers from women in battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—where they make up 55% of ballots cast—some conservative voices are panicking. Right-wing commentators are sounding the alarm, fearing that even MAGA-supporting husbands’ wives might be casting secret ballots for Kamala Harris.

Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, has put it starkly: “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.” Jesse Watters of Fox News has even equated a wife secretly voting for Harris to “having an affair.”

    Jesse Watters of Fox News has even equated a wife secretly voting for Harris to “having an affair.”

    something that this article didn’t mention is that jesse walters’ current marriage started as an affair: he started dating his current wife while he was married to his previous wife. (source)

    yet another example of every accusation being a confession.

    So those MAGA women actually have two jobs: Vote early for Harris, and keep their husbands occupied on voting day…

    Oh, many of them are. They are right to be afraid. Everything makes these gamma males afraid, though. Climate change, the empowerment of women, people who disagree with them.

    They are gentler than snowflakes, they are cold breezes in a world that’s steadily warming. And they know it. They fear the future, no matter what happens. They fear change.

      No, most likely just spousal abuse. The right is well known for not having to need proof to believe something as fact. All they need is a passing thought that it could be possible, or worse the orange tells them “your wives are traitors that voted for Kam-ela”

      As long as No Fault Divorce is still legal in their areas.

        Will a republican judge see a fault in a married woman voting against her owners husbands wishes?

    worst thing about the Julia Roberts ad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaCPck2qDhk, if you must) is they someone not completely filling in the scantron bubble on the ballot

    also Charlie “master debater” Kirk and Jesse “yelling on TV is my memorable trait” Watters are desperate tools, SO ANXIOUS to control women

      Or, hear me out: Set the desired result first and then let them vote, but count what you planned and not the ballots!
