Gray for Confederate and Purple for Royalty?
Wow! That first paragraph just makes you want to read the whole article ASAP, doesn't it?
It must have been confusing back in the 1910s, what with not knowing whether it was the suffragettes or the KKK that was having a march.
The key distinction, according to Kretschmer’s research, is that single women tend to cast votes with the fate of all women in mind, while women married to men vote on behalf of their husbands and families (the study was based on a poll of straight women conducted in 2012, before same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide, and draws no conclusions about marriages where neither partner is a man).
Maybe single women are voting with the fate of single women in mind. Is a single, secular, twenty-something woman in New York really voting with the interest of a seventy year-old married woman in Nebraska? Or in her own interest? Isn't there a bias here that "women's issues" are those that are more important to single women than to married women?
“Just being married makes women more conservative in their vote choice,” said Kretschmer.
And men? Unmarried men tended to vote less for Trump and more for Hillary than married men. Are unmarried men voting in the interest of all men? Or are the married men somehow prisoners of their wives? Very confusing.
I didn’t see this Lucia Graves puke rallying to the defense of Sarah Palin.
That is an awful lot of space to simply say that married women vote for their own economic interests and those of their families rather than for some collective that excludes their families. The liberals probably cannot understand it that way but women tend to be individuals who care about their own welfare and that of those close to them more than the welfare of strangers. Single women who vote for socialists think they are voting for their own welfare because they do not have a male provider and protector. They vote for the government to fill that role.
A lot of poor urban whites are culturally similar to urban blacks, and many of them voted for President Trump.
Maybe the reason married women voted for Trump is because they are reasonable women who think for themselves and who don’t hate men - which is the same reason they are married.
I guess that’s why you never got to be Secretary of State.
She didn’t blame him for her embarrassment, she blamed the vast-right-wing conspiracy.
Many had expected Clinton to rally women, the same way Barack Obama rallied black voters in 2008Turns out that black voters in 2008 and 2016 were overwhelmingly racist, while white women of 2008 were slightly more likely to be racist than white women in 2016 were likely to be sexist.
Hilarious. Two of my brothers couldn’t pull the lever for either candidate and their wives were rabid Trump supporters. Amazing how that pressure works.
I want Hillary to keep on talking and blaming. She has destroyed herself and will soon be in a position where no one will pay attention to her. As a plus, she is destroying the DemoncRAT Party. Good times.
