"I only like it when my husband is hateful to Black people, or trans kids, or Haitians, or migrant workers. But now, he's being hateful to me too!"
Abuse and coercion in relationships is awful. Men are generally trash. But this "Save Melania" mess to paint lifelong MAGA women as victims now is nonsense.
That man was MAGA when she met him. He didn't become a new person. The hate was always there.
And y'all act like 47% of white women voters aren't pro-life.
There are a number of people whose very first social media comment ever on the topic of mail-in voting, is to worry about the white MAGA women who might want to vote for Harris, but have husbands that make them vote for Trump.
They've never expressed concern about the millions of Black women whose right to vote at all was stolen by those very same MAGA men.
This is concern for white women, under a veil of concern about the very real topic of domestic violence and coercion in general.

And again, when we talk about mail-in voting MAGA coercion, we pretend that there aren't white women who do this coercion to their husbands. There are white men that want to vote for Harris, and their racist white women wives and partners won't let them.
Y'all need to accept how many racist white women there are in the US.
Because this election isn't about gender. It's about racism/fascism vs non-racist, non-fascist. Stealing women's reproductive rights is just a side-quest for fascists.

I dunno man. I take your overall point, but I do think that controlling women is pretty core to most strains of fascism.
This isn't to say the women in question can't also be fascist and/or racist. I just think "rigid gender roles" is usually in the main fascist quest line somewhere.
@unikitty @mekkaokereke yeah of course it is. The point is just, those women did the calculation - they decided the hate was directed at other people and that made it OK, if they could get the benefits of being close to the ones gathering fashy power.
It's like the wife in Blackkklansman. Go watch that (again)
Women of white supremacy are always at risk, but they tend to take the chance while it benefits them, and the victims of the hate are the bigger issue than when it all backfires on them.
