Never seen so many Karen's in one Pic. You just know these are type of women that think their word is final. They believe they know all
Little do they know they've been duped by the biggest conman of all time, trump. A man that wins votes by instilling fear. A conman that's voter base are the most easily conned folks on earth. They will believe anything as long as it's back by some form of fear. Some of the dumbest people on earth unable to think for themselves
These type of women know they are second hand citizens in their homes, they know that they are oppressed, but the thought of power having on a lesser group of people ( that they think those people are) is huge, they want to have some sort of power and they’re just getting that from maga.
This is one of those things you can honestly "both sides". Trump tries to get votes by instilling fear of immigrants and trans, Dems try to get votes by instilling fear of Trump. Because neither for the most part are willing to present a positive reason to vote for them that would remotely get enough votes to win.
You think fear of immigrants and fear of fascism are comparably illegitimate? Oof
I think fear that if a Republican wins office it will be the end of democracy and we will collapse into a single party totalitarian system is probably unfounded, yes.
I suspect the Democrat party feels the same way behind closed doors, otherwise we wouldn't have heard their candidate at the time (this was before Biden quit) say “I'll feel, as long as I gave it my all and I did [as] good a job as I know I can do, that's what this is about." That's not a thing you say if you genuinely believe that this election is the last chance to save the country from becoming an authoritarian fascist state.
But really that's besides the point - the point is that both sides actively engage in trying to terrify their voters into voting for them because neither can present a reason why we should want to vote for them in remotely enough numbers to win otherwise.
