almost!?
White women tend not to be mass shooters, for instance
Don't worry, if a white woman commits a mass shooting, they'll just say she's trans & warp the rhetoric.

Truly, they're interchangeable depending kn the circumstances.
Just wait until Project 2025 slams home and tears the shit out of women's rights. Shitheads.
I was doing work in Tennessee the first round of trump and was big irritated to see "women for trump" signs. They seemed more irritated to see a woman working in the sewers. Sorry Barb some of us women enjoy manual labor and didn't grow up when everything was super cheap and have to work for a living. Quit voting for shit you won't be alive to see the consequences of you old bat!
Plenty of Republican women voters are post-menopausel already. Plenty are insistent that their daughters get pregnant already, or that their son's sexual partners carry a fetus to term.
This isn't a gender thing nearly so much as a class thing.
+1...Their cousins are "busy" in the red run oblasts, eh.
Let us not forget our fine Latino men and women. Men 50% women 43%. Another target / supporter of the government.
The Latino vote I fully understand. They are predominantly Catholic and strongly oppose abortions. The Latinos voted for ICE boots on thier neck rather than women's rights ... and they got exactly what they voted for.
I had a Latino buddy that was in it only for the machismo because libs were gay and no way a black woman. He really didn’t have any hardline conservative views except for “don’t stray from the herd”
Let us not forget our fine Latino men and women. Men 50% women 43%.
Lots of expats from Venezuela and Cuba who see Republicans as patrons for their clans. And Republicans reward these blocks with special privileges - prioritization for immigration, exception from state violence, lucrative positions in both the legal and illegal economy.
Marco Rubio got his start selling concaine on behalf of his brother in law Orlando Cicilia, for instance. He was able to rapidly rise through the political scene by playing in an industry the CIA had long staked out for Cuban exiles.
I did not know that, but it sounds about right lmao. Lil Marco the narco
Racism in the United States is astonishing. As a non-American, until Obama’s time, I used to think that, there was just some institutional racism left over from past decades and a few extremists in the South—but not much else. After Obama, it’s incredible how most white people have become extremely right-wing extremists, all because of a single president of mixed descent. Now, the problem seems enormous, and a solution doesn’t appear to be anywhere in sight.
I’m a white American from the northeast and I felt the same way. When trump won the first time, it felt like I’d just discovered that the floor underneath my bed was rotting away.
I was blind to it because I didn’t need to see it, but it was always there. My relative privilege insulated me and ensured that I contributed to the problem
I am from Boston, northeast has always been super racist and still is.
We just hide our racism by using different words, like 'those people'. Go to any town/city meeting and you will see 50% of the people going up to talk about their 'concerns' using phrases like that. It's all very veiled and vague, for sure, but it's incredibly obvious what they mean. Being racist here is 100% cool as long as you are not doing it directly.
And hell, most of my white progressive anti-racists friends, are very very uncomfortable around non-white people. I had the 'privileged' of growing up a lower-income mixed race community, but most of my peers have zero experience with non-white people.

Seeing Americans label Obama as the most “divisive” president was eye opening…
Meanwhile, Trump was saying Obama isn’t even a US citizen! All while specific persons are saying Obama is dividing the nation…
It’s disgusting…

As an American I feel exactly the same. There absolutely were holdouts of racism, but I felt we were moving forward and leaving them behind. Obama’s presidency set the stage, then trump and covid set everything on fire and the mask came off. “Draining the swamp” just meant revealing the scum at the bottom of it and setting it free. I was shocked at how many racist, petty, selfish, aggressively ignorant people there are in the US.
After Obama, it’s incredible how most white people have become extremely right-wing extremists
That hasn’t been my anecdotal observation. Obama’s election definitely freaked out the existing White racists and motivated them to get more politically active, but I haven’t seen non-racist Whites suddenly become racist because a Black man finally got elected president. Where are you seeing this? Better yet, is there research or polling data documenting it?
I think it's more that a lot of racists hid it rather than openly reveling in it like they do now.
Ding ding ding we have a winner. Trump emboldened them to crawl out of their hidey holes and air their grossness in public.

What's astonishing to me, as an American who grew up in white conservative rural and suburban areas, is that the racism is just one facet of a much larger shitty state of existence.
I see the same things IRL from ordinary people, like extended family, that I see from the people in the media who seem like hyperbolic caricatures trying to test Poe's law.
It's just an existence based in negativity. Every request has a hurried frustrated tone. Every discussion is composed entirely of complaints. The complaints about others are bigoted sure, but also very focused on money and material possessions which those other people never deserve and the speaker is neverrrrr jealous about. Personal identity is built from all the things you don't like.
I have a good relationship with my family, but they are still miserable and draining to be around.

We were racist long before Obama.
And what country are you from where racism is not an issue?
You somehow failed to understand their comment. They very clearly write that they thought it wasn't this bad until Obama became president and they (the person you replied to) learned just how bad it actually is. And a lot of countries are way less racist than the US. They aren't saying there is no racism where they live, which again is weird how you don't seem to understand.
So both things you said are fully because you failed to read something that shouldn't be possible to misunderstand because of how clearly they are written.

I'm pretty sure that at least the 80% of them feels like shit right now.
Are you sure that's how it feels to be grabbed by the pussy?
Anyway, I think its time to say "pussy" in public ....like hey! Man! Stop trying to grab me by the pussy with these prices!
Or: my dentist grabbed me by the pussy again with two fillings and a crown.
Or: Dude I just filled up my truck and dang! Like they grabbed me by the pussy!
This should be normal speech now.

46% of Latinos voted for trump. We really need to battle the billionaire owned propaganda Machine
Many Latinos are super religious. It’s not just the billionaire propaganda machine it’s centuries of indoctrination from the Catholic Church. Even if the billionaire propaganda machine didn’t exist and every news media outlet is factual, independent and transparent many will still vote for an R because of their religious beliefs.
The Catholic Church is openly opposed to this administration so a vote for Trump was a vote against the pope so nice try but no

Nothing more disgusting than a woman or minority that votes conservative.
What kind of human enjoys having a boot on their neck?
Disclaimer: the following is just my opinion and not to be taken as gospel. This is not financial advice.
The hope for them is that one day, after proving their ability to suffer a boot upon their neck, they will have proved themselves worthy to put their boot on someone's neck.
How does one perpetuate slavery?
Turn some of the slaves into masters.

Donald Trump has won the majority of white women voters for the third straight time
https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-11-07/white-women-vote-donald-trump-kamala-harris
There’s no mystery. White women handed Trump the election
The answer isn’t that deep: The majority of white women in this country want a male president — preferably white. That’s not me talking; that’s nearly a century of voting data speaking.
.
I'd be more interested to see how many more/less white/black women voted red/blue compared to previous years rather than the ratio of those who did.
That kind of contextual information is useful, but beware of anybody giving it to you without the bigger context of absolute numbers before and after. Liberal media loves using shifts like this to imply there's a bunch of centrists who decided to change which way they're leaning instead of "dems failed to improve the material conditions for their constituents, so fewer people voted dem. Meanwhile 12 black business owners voted republican instead of 6, an increase of 100%"
In 2016, CNN and MSNBC spent months using that type of framing to blame black people for Hillary's loss, essentially calling them ungrateful, homophobic, sexist, conservatives.

Liberals like to conveniently forget that being a white woman is also a very privileged position in our society.
Most White women want to maintain their privileged position too.

When you thought racism was a solved problem, but the USA absolutely has to prove you wrong.
Did anyone think racism was a solved problem?
I used to. When I was a kid in school, I figured it was a holdover from "the racist times" back in the 1960s.
Then I saw how people treated Obama. Real eye opener.

US feminism is mostly centering on the issues of white, middle-class women, failing to fully integrate the needs of women of color, marginalized, or lower-income women. This lack of a unified approach leads to fragmented advocacy and fragmented outcomes, rather than a broad movement.
Also 53% of white women vote for trump compared to 7% of black women who voted for trump. This showed that they gave more priority to racial identify over collective welfare of all women in usa .
White feminist often ignore or won't acknowledge that in usa —specifically land ownership and early capital accumulation were built upon the exploitation of Native American and African people.
The systematic removal of Native Americans from their land provided massive amounts of property that was subsequently passed down through generations of white families, serving as a primary source of generational wealth which black women or native American women doesn't have.
The wealth generated by the labor of enslaved African people in agriculture and other industries directly enriched white slaveholders and, by extension, their present generation . Jim crows law curbed wealth generation for black women compared to white women
Wealth disparity between Black and white women in the USA is severe, with white households holding nearly 10 times the median net worth of Black households, or approximately 15 cents for every dollar. Black women face lower income, less intergenerational wealth, lower homeownership rates, and higher debt, often keeping them in lower-wage service jobs without benefits.
white feminists often ignore these issues Best example would be :-1)DEI
Despite DEI mostly benefitted white women , most of the white feminist organisation ignored whether black women benefitted or not .they doesn't cared about native American or black women . They often fail to view things from racial angle by focusing just on gender angle
2)Most of the educational scholarships are benefitted by white women over native American ,black women
Unlike Scandinavian countries where feminists became inclusive that they heavily prioritised welfare and empowerment of minority women belonging to Sami tribe community Whereas in United States , everything is just in words not in action.
