     🤦🏿♂️Y'all need to stop.

     There was a campaign stunt done by the Harris campaign, saying that women could hide their votes.

     Then a bunch of articles picked it up.

     Then it started trending.

     The term wasn't trending before the articles. This isn't real demand. Y'all are making all kinds of excuses for the fact that there are more Melanias and MTGs and Stefaniks than you want to admit.

     There are exactly as many MAGA women as Black folk tell you.

     This is the exact same dynamic that y'all use to convince yourselves that there's a crime wave when there is absolutely none.

     The press writes a bunch of articles about crime (read: hating on Black folk). Then y'all convince yourselves, saying things like "A lot of people are worried about crime! See? They're all searching for it! It's trending! People *feel* like there's a lot of crime!" 🤡

     47% of white women are pro life.
     >50% are Trump voters.

     1. I'm not here to convince you of anything. Keep trying to free Melania if you want. Good luck with that.

     2. Do your own data fetches.

     3. This is the right data.

     The below trends charts are what it looks like when voters really care about something. These charts: "Joe Biden Gaza" and "Kamala Harris Gaza" and "Can I vote by Mail"

     @mekkaokereke @DoesntExist @jcrabapple @Tarah @corycarson I wonder: the trend you show only goes back to Oct of 2023… which (coincidently 0_o ) doesn’t have an election… what’s the trend of that phrase (or paraphrases) over the last 16 years? That would be a much more convincing graph… what you showed was hardly convincing at all.

     If you’re going to use data to make your point: use the correct data.

     Do you realize that search term also includes:

     * Husbands afraid of their wives
     * Children afraid of their parents
     * Black employees of a pro-Trump white employer
     * People that "have Black friends" but want to vote for Trump anyway. Shy Republicans, as they're called.

     Etc etc?

     And that it takes more imaginary thinking and "white women: always the victim, never the villain!" mentality to map that term to the "free Melania use case?

     Agreed on E2EE. I have no issue with E2EE. Which is why I didn't say anything about that.👍🏿

     Domestic violence is also terrible. Men are generally trash. Coercion happens. All bad things.👍🏿

     What I said, and what I'm still saying, is that the "white women would vote differently, if only it weren't for white men being the true villains in society!" Is a lie. It's a lie told to minimize the accountability of the subset of white women that are violent, racist, and harmful.

     I wasn't talking about the ad. I was talking about the stickers, which preceded the ad. But the stickers weren't the Harris campaign either. Someone reached out to clarify, and they officially denied involvement. So I edited the above post to say "for (not by) the Harris campaign."

     As an Australian, during this election round I've been learning some horrifying facts about the lack of anonymity at various points of your electoral process.

     I'm serious asking, can husbands learn how their wives (or any partner relationship) vote?

     @mekkaokereke @DoesntExist @jcrabapple @Tarah @corycarson It's a foolish mix of insisting white women are pure, innocent angels who can't stand up to their brutish husbands & an arrogant assumption that people on the right don't know their own self-interest. Oh, the poor dears are just doing what their terrible menfolk order them to do

     No.

     They are hateful white supremacists, too, as much as any man, & they truly want a world where they can abuse non-whites as they wish. Period.

     Thank you! also your point is still 100% correct.

     My mom is one of them.

     The worst are the ones who try to play it off like "oh I don't know who I'm voting for, I'm undecided, they're both bad, etc, etc"

     Like if you're gonna do it, just own it.

     She also didnt vote for Obama because "The world isn't ready for a black man as president" and didnt vote for Hillary because "the world isnt ready for a woman as president"

     @mekkaokereke @nicemicro FWIW white women can still be racist trash AND vote for Harris. Plenty of white Dem voters are racist trash. It's not like most people who are racist are racist for sophisticated ideological reasons. It's entirely plausible a racist white woman would want to vote for Harris because of the single issue of reproductive rights / abortion rights.
