    They know that, according to GOP’s leadership, they’re not even supposed to hold office? They’re supposed to be in the kitchen making sandwiches. Also popping out babies.

    And they wonder why?

    44% of women aged 18-44 and 48% of women over 45 voted for a rapist to lead them. (AP Data) Like what do these voters and female Republican politicians expect at this point? DE&I is “woke” according to them, but did they also know that listening to women is “woke” to Republicans too?

      If you sort the data by “women by race” you get a better picture. 53% of white women voted for trump, which made up for the only 10% of black women who voted for him, and 39% of latina women.

      Not that it takes away from what you’re saying, i just think white women in particular really screwed themselves over here

    “I don’t know why there wasn’t one who was able to become a chairperson of a committee…”

    Because if the Republicans have their way, womens roles will be “Tradwife” and nothing else.

    “We’ve never been the party that was about checking boxes or identity politics, but the difference is we have women that are qualified to be chairs, and I don’t know why there wasn’t one who was able to become a chairperson of a committee," she added.

    Translation: “I never cared that my party discriminated against other people, but now they’re doing it to meeeeee!

      I know that hypocrisy is their whole thing, but it’s still hard to wrap my mind around a Republican genuinely believing that they’re not about identity politics, as if that isn’t what their entire platform is based on.

        Republicans have always been fans of turning real things into incorrectly used buzz words. “Identity politics” means “changing the status quo to include others,” and so only applies to Democrats. “Catering exclusively to bigoted white Christian nationalists who openly want to establish a theocracy” doesn’t count by that metric.

      I’m not.

      They thought they were one of the good ones, in the minority group.

      Same thing with the log cabin Republicans doing the surprised_pikachu.jpg when the GOP passed them over for everything.

        Something about that parable where the trees vote for the axe because the handle is made of wood. Guess the modern version is /leopardsatemyface.

    Jews for Nazism annoyed they aren’t welcomed into the 3rd Reich as “the good ones.”
