Summary

A video encouraging women to vote independently for Kamala Harris sparked outrage among conservative men, who called it divisive and “amoral.” The video highlights the gender gap that has widened between Harris and Trump, with recent polls showing notable leads by Harris among women and Trump among men.

Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”

Supporters argue it reflects real tensions around women’s autonomy, especially in conservative households.

    Sooo if you’re a potential husband with a penis, vote for Trump for the following reasons:

    1. Guaranteed husbandry or at least fatherhood. Just go out there and fuck someone, they gotta have the kid no matter what. Your cum is valuable.

    2. Ah yes. You think I forget? You can grab them by the pussy…if you’re famous. So go out there, fuck somebody, be famous and grab them by the pussy!

    3)Earn a second vote. You heard me right. You can’t incriminate each other and therefore her vote is your vote.

    Now go out there and vote! Vote Trump! Fight the enemy within. It’s just not right! Bikini at the pool and allowed to vote? Heck no! Women should be prepared for being attached to a 4x4 in the bedroom permanently for the sole purpose of making love to the man. And sometimes for having babies, but hurry up with that, and don’t feed babies breast milk at the park. And those naked things that happen in California the gay, Oregon and the independent country of Washington State, those gotta go!

        Fuck! I don’t know, I’m just an engineer. Maybe roller skate wheels. It’s a complex design. I’m thinking sex swing hung from a gantry that you can move around the house as you see fit to place the woman where you decide the woman should be at. But you would still need to immobilizer her. They don’t really like being permanently glued to things. You might end up with broken dinner ware. Lobotomy gets you 90% of the way. Maybe republicans can figure it out for us. Like if women were not allowed to sing or hear the voice of other women, that would be a step in the wright direction.

    Anyone who is mad about the possibility of someone hiding who they voted for, is part of the reason it needs to be reiterated in the first place.

    That’s so weird that the nazi husbands who would give their wife a black eye for voting for kamala would fly into a rage about something.

    Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., joined the criticism Thursday, telling Fox News that Democrats are telling wives to lie to their husbands: “What kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed?”

    Ah yes, the guy who has cheated on multiple wives is talking about amorality and corruption.

      it’s not “cheating” if the husband does it. it’s “the wife is being frigid and insufferable and i had no choice but to fuck whoever else”

      from the party of “it’s not rape if he’s your husband”

      He’s not the only conservative paragon of virtue that’s having a hissy-fit over it either:

      Fox News host Jesse Watters said on the air last week that if his wife did the same as the women in the ad, it would violate “the sanctity of our marriage.”

      “If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Watters said, a remark that prompted many online to call him out for his marital affair, which he admitted to in 2018.

        Not just an affair, an affair with his current wife he was calling out. Who he started the affair by being a massive stalker and letting air out of her tires so she’d ask him for a ride.

    These idiots really miss the fact that most women can, and, in fact, must work. This idea of a “sweet” husband who works to provide for his family is so outdated it’s absurd.

      That does still apply to rich people, which is why I suspect so many of these idiots still think this way. Surely everyone has the means THEY have!

      That’s actually true in some of their cases, because they don’t have anything else to offer the family.

      I’m willing to bet a lot of these people can’t cook, never clean and are insecure because they jerked around in high school.

      Unfortunately for them, I agree. Better educated women are making people like Kirk obsolete. In the past, the only thing they had to offer was steady income, but now that women are often making more than many of them and are better educated, they feel threatened. So the only thing they have left is pretending women are dumb

      The guy who helped create the ad even says

      “They took a person’s sanctity of their ballot and turned it into a conversation about men owning the behaviors of the women in their life,” Pagitt said. “And like, well, I didn’t think you were going to make our point for us. We’re very grateful that you did.”

    What about the husband vote cancelling out the wives vote?

    Both humans have agency. If you are going to frame the issue as treachery, then the husband shouldn’t vote against his wife. Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?

    Fuck that.

      They believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.

    It’s not hiding when it’s supposed to be a secret. A woman voting her own beliefs should be the first step out of that kind of controlling relationship.

      I have a relative who lives in subsidized housing and just got a new neighbor who is freshly divorced due to his wife being a Democrat. Sounds like she won for sure because from what I hear about this dude he sounds like a miserable, insufferable individual
