Women are voting and it’s driving MAGA men crazy

On By Karl

With Election Day Just around the corner, conservative influencers are clearly worried women votingEspecially as NBC News reports that Harris holds a 33-point advantage among women.

Some of these influencers are uncomfortable with the idea of ​​a woman having the freedom to choose who to vote for, while others are throwing tantrums about women being allowed to vote. But this anger is a predictable development of a movement that prides itself on its stance. Performative machismo And outright misogyny.

Just this week, former Trump campaign official and Project 2025 advisor John McEntee said: shared a video here he explicitly proposes abolishing women’s voting rights so that “only men” can vote. When Kamala Harris’ campaign announced her video, McEntee replied“Relax, relax, it’s just a joke…of course. ”

Elsewhere, Turning Point USA founder and far-right activist Charlie Kirk the most important peddler of the whole “only real men “Vote for Trump” propagandaOpinions about women exercising any political independence persist. Kirk looked horrified with a democrat ad This reminds women that their vote is private and does not have to align with their husband’s vote. In a recent podcast, she shuddered to think that some Republican women might “undermine their husbands” by voting for Harris; Despite this, in her own words, their husbands “do their best to help her have a good life.”

Kirk seems pretty concerned about all of this, as evidenced by his harsh reaction to the number of women voting. “Early voting was disproportionately women’s votes.” Published Wednesday About X, he adds: “If men stay at home, Kamala will be president. “It’s that simple.” He ended his post by saying, “MEN NEED TO VOTE NOW.” This is consistent with hysteria elsewhere in the MAGA social media ecosystem, such as far-right influencers Mike Cernovich, Jack Posobiec, McEntee and others are trying to rally MAGA men to the polls. You can almost hear the alarm as you read this from the managing editor of the ultra-conservative satirical news site Babylon Bee:

I guess MAGA women don’t move “fat pig” In Trump’s words, the husbands went to the polls quickly enough.

On Fox News, host Jesse Watters used a violent (albeit extremely vague) World War II metaphor to chastise wives who vote differently than their husbands, saying that if the wife votes for Kamala Harris, it’s “D-Day” and “The D-Day” He said it would happen. It’s the same as having an affair.”

In the evangelical community, reaction to feminism MAGA men were more explicit in condemning women for having even the slightest political independence.

MAGA pastor Dale Partridge said on social media Tuesday that “in a Christian marriage, a wife should vote in her husband’s direction because “he is the head and they are one” — unless he says so vote democratIn this case this does not apply. “This is not a controversial issue,” Partridge said.

It seems pretty controversial to me, though.

In an episode of his podcast last week, another popular far-right pastor, Joel Webbon, said: doubled In his earlier statement that the 19th Amendment should be repealed. Webbon said women’s political choices should be given to the men in their lives (husbands, fathers, brothers or uncles).

Days before Election Day, the MAGA movement’s misogyny is on full display. They cannot hide their anger at the fact that women – at least for now – have the freedom to make their own choices at the ballot box. It seems like they are finally starting to realize that their childish bravado and unabashed chauvinism may come back to bite them.
