Hey look! Yet another conservative policy that abuses women. I’m sure if they keep voting for the big (R) it’ll get better any day now. Oh wait, taking away the vote from anyone not white and land owning is a conservative policy plank.
VP Permaliner doesn’t want single women without children to vote…
President 🦧 doesn’t want married women to vote…
Call me hysterical and have my husband commit me crazy, but I kind of get the feeling they just don’t want any women voting.
TheDemonBuerIntentionally so.
Trump wants to stay in power, by any means necessary, legal, ethical or otherwise. Usually otherwise. His main motivation for this is simply his massive ego.
Many different groups want to help him stay in power, so he can remain a useful idiot for them. Most of these groups just want the usual corruption stuff. They just want to use Trump to try and get rich. But some have more ideological goals: White supremacy, expanding the US empire and strengthening US global hegemony, neoliberalism/right wing libertarianism/anarcho capitalism, techno feudalism, White Christian nationalism, and others. Some, like China and Russia, want Trump to stay in power because they know he will continue to weaken the US, and they want to see the US weakened, if not eventually collapse (honestly, I’m fairly sympathetic to this one).
Trumps arteries need to harden and make it difficult for him to stay alive.
I personally favor Trump developing CJD. It is the perfect way for someone of Trump’s caliber to depart this world.
- CJD can be somewhat slowed, for a short time. It cannot be stopped, or cured.
- Trump would experience a slow and painful decay until he finally dies.
- Medical equipment that makes contact with Trump would have to be burned afterwards to prevent spread.
- The breakdown Trump would have when he realizes how fucked he is and how there’s jack shit he can do to stop what’s coming would be beautiful.
On the other hand, Trump might be able to help the scientific community posthumously if they acquire his CJD-riddled brain.
When is his anal cancer going to hurry up and kill him?
Intentionally so.

Well you could have.
now it’s too late. You guys fucked it.
I watched a video that claimed trumps media campaign was a big factor in his 2nd win. Trump went on many podcasts which were blowing up as a popular media in 2025. The democrats went mostly on tv and stage appearances which isn’t really meeting the media at the time. A lot of the tv stuff was scripted where people claim the podcasts weren’t (i doubt there wasnt at least a loose script). The one podcast the dems did do was a sex centered podcast and most of the listeners probably didn’t give a shit compared to the demographic listening to Joe Rogan and the likes. It was such a media blunder that in hindsight it almost seems intentional.
So if a fascist goes on podcasts, the empty-brained populace has no choice but to vote for him?
I think the dipshits who were gonna vote for trump were gonna vote for him no matter where he appeared. The voters are to blame. The voters are not 6-year-olds. The voters are all adults capable of reasoning and capable of bearing guilt.
I doubt it was the sole purpose he won but I’m sure it swayed new voters to his direction. I think its safe to say the media has an influence on how people think and react.
What you say takes agency away from the voters. Voters have agency, responsibility and blame.
“The media has an influence” <- these statements, when repeated often, take the agency and responsibility away from the voters.
The voters voted, and are responsible for their votes.
What I’m saying is running a good media campaign influences public opinion and can help someone win elections. By going onto podcasts he was able to get his shitty views into more people’s ears, and potential pitched alongside a host they already respect and trust. Strong media presences was also crucial for people like JFK and Hitler. Its nothing new the format is changing and democrats weren’t keeping up with the format in terms of their media presence.
GutterRat42- Republican voters are less likely to have a passport
- Republican women are more likely to have changed their names at marriage
I say, pass the SAVE act.
GreenBeardAbandoning the remaining low-income and disabled Dems that are less likely to have documentation like that would be a strategically bad move. Not to mention, you currently have Fed that will happily to “Lose” your paperwork when you renew if they can correlate your face with their “Age Verification” data that identifies you as a Democrat.
Give them an inch and they’ll take all of it.
Edit: Typo
CharlesDarwinNot to mention, you currently have Fed that will happily to “Lose” your paperwork when you renew if they can correlate your face with their “Age Verification” data that identifies you as a Democrat.
That, and I’m sure they will happily expedite passport processing in the “right” areas and the “right” demographics (probably put ICE agents on it), and have no, or very delayed, processing in the “wrong” areas and for the “wrong” people.
That’s a win-win for the Nat-C types.
The head of household (man) should be deciding the direction of the country, of course. Allowing women to vote was a huge mistake, in their view.
If this were to actually come to pass, they’ll be creaming their jeans over this and if they didn’t already, they’ll erect shrines to Pedonald in their houses, their churches, and if no one stops them, in the town square.

And who else?
(To be clear married women should be able to vote, just like everybody else)
Trans people would basically be the only other group. It’s targeting people whose legal name is different from the one on their birth certificate.
Seems like this would affect anyone who doesn’t have a copy of their birth certificate, an enhanced ID or a passport. That seems like a huge number of people.
passports are probably more difficult to get for conservatives, and passports are already a time consuming process as it is. they might not of the USPS offices in commutable areas. and they are usually booked weeks out in advance.
Everyone, actually:
You just moved? This little errand, updating your voting registration, just got a little more complicated, a little more likely to be a problem. Or, a lot more likely to be a problem, if you lost your birth certificate in the move somehow. Or maybe even quite a big problem, if you don’t have the kind of settled life where you’ve got a file cabinet for these documents the government expects you to curate on their behalf.
not according to conservative men.
conservatives and the taliban, is there a difference?
no, because they idolize the taliban.
Any woman that supports this is a disgrace to the women that suffered and fought before them to gain that right. If you want to vote the same as your husband or just not vote you don’t need a law enforcing that.
I mean Id say the same about working folks voting for this bull trump but they do.
This is by design.
Funny thing is, I have to imagine that it’ll prove far more problematic for Republicans than Democrats, seeing as how poverty is far more widespread in red states than blue, and the impoverished aren’t keeping their ID’s update. No fucking way.
This has been said before, but I am skeptical that this is a realistic risk.
Married women vote R over D by about 15-20 points according to most polls, and I kinda trust Republicans to not shoot themselves in the dick.
Married white women, perhaps? Surely not all married women?
All married women, regardless of race.
Edit: I’m sure it’s different if broken down by race, but I don’t know how because I haven’t seen the numbers. However I wouldn’t be surprised to see marriage and conservatism generally track on a societal level regardless of other factors.
most of them vote according to thier husbands wishes. even my parents do this, always relegate voting to the man of the house, they arnt R voters though.
Most women married to Rs are themselves going to be Rs. It’s just as accurate to say that most husbands are voting according to the wife’s wishes.
ffs. USAians wtf are youse doing?? All this shit going on is what your fucking 2A is for. This is the reason it exists. ffs
you have a government hostile to the people. holy fuck
Your country probably requires voter ID if you aren’t from the United States…
But having your name match your birth certificate?
I think that’s only if you are registering to vote in a different precinct, if you aren’t already on the voter rolls in that area. Basically whenever you move. I’m not sure how other countries handle it when you move.
But they ‘purge’ voter rolls all the time. Especially red states in areas they think will vote dem. Then you have to register and then they can now disqualify most married women.
I don’t think felons should be able to vote. Or run for a government office.
Fuck!!!
Citizens convicted of felonies should, in fact, still be able to vote. The US has a huge problem with convicting black men of bullshit charges, effectively disenfranchising them.
POC in general too, plus women.
