Imagine how little self-respect you'd have to have to be a woman and vote Republican.
Not a USA citizen, but a Hungarian, but I think some stuff still holds ground in the USA ground: They primarily think these right-wing radicals are just "jolly little conservatives", and not radicals, since they call themselves "conservatives". Contrary to the naive liberal belief, conservatism isn't just a jolly little belief of personally held traditions and healthy patriotism, it's just "fascism lite" which will turn full-out fascism once the checks and balances are removed, or getting extremely frustrated with social change.
And also there's the whole "you will get more conservative as you get older" propaganda, which makes a lot of young people "skip the liberalism and fast-forward to the inevitable", and they either want to remain conservatives because "jolly little belief of personally held traditions and healthy patriotism", or they believe they can't leave. Many also go down the hate road, and they'll get called all kinds of names if they forgive wrongdoers who were part of a minority, and they don't weaponize that wrongdoing into genocidal thoughts. We seriously need to counter this whole "you will get more conservative as you get older" with something. Can someone contact Innuendo Studios? I have an idea for an episode of "The Alt-Right Playbook" if he still haven't made one on this topic.
Making sure that women have very little self-respect is one of the primary functions of American Evangelicalism.
Well surely it was never going to affect them. They are one of the good ones, it's the others that need to be controlled. Why would they ever come for me if I am living a proper God fearing life?
