Why Suburban Women Cost the Republicans the House

Did suburban women cost the Republicans the House of Representatives?

Most suburban women can be easily persuaded to vote for Democrats because they do not think seriously. Serious thinking in the political sense is concerned with where we are going as a nation, our moral values, our long-term prosperity, our security, our freedom and its inherent responsibilities. G.K. Chesterton said, “Thinking means connecting things, and stops if they cannot be connected” (Orthodoxy, 1908).

Don’t get me wrong – there are many intelligent, serious conservative women in Fairfax County (not to mention the nation as a whole), but they are sadly in the minority. From my limited and unscientific perspective, the reason most suburban women voted for Democrats can be divided into three categories:

  1. They don’t have to think seriously.
  2. They have never been taught to think seriously.
  3. They really don’t want to think seriously.

They Don’t Have to Think Seriously

A generality is just that, it does not cover every specific part of a population. Too many women let their emotion dictate their preferred policies. It is their sympathetic nature which is easily manipulated against their own interests. Look at the Children in a Cage and the sob stories from the Caravan and anti-Second Amendment policies. Who are those directed at?

Surely you are aware that the vote of the single women plus the blacks are the Demons’ margin of victory when they win?

Fortunately, FReeper women are the exception that proves the rule.

You have to be blind, deaf and stupid to not see the tremendous potential with Trump as our president. There is no excuse for those morons.

They cost the Democrats the Senate, They cost the Republicans the House.

Apparently this is the season of "blame the women".

I saw too many Beto signs around my suburban Texas neighborhood, and I assure you, it wasn’t the guys who were doing it.

The alternative media provided Trump a means to bypass the enemedia. This year, Big Tech, dominated by leftists from the executive suites to the guys in the trenches, silenced conservative and patriotic voices. By silencing them by banning their message from social media, YouTube, PayPal, etc., the enemedia gained control of the narrative, just as was the case in the late 20th Century. Combined with open election fraud, the Democrats won. The GOP, from Trump down to Pam Bondi, reacted too slowly. Add to that sabotage by the likes of Paul Ryan and other RINOs, and you have a recipe for failure.

Trump must act quickly and boldly. Sessions is gone, but Rosenstein, Mueller, and other traitors remain. The Clintons, Obama, and their associates remain free. Without swift action, this Administration will be crippled and the Democrats will seek impeachment. This is far more important than going to France to receive insults from a Emmanuel Macron.

I half wonder if the GOP elite wanted to lose the house so their wildest dream could come true: the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump.

Must be pretty easy. We did it to the USSR with two little radio stations, RFE and VOA, playing rock and roll.

The USSR controlled 100% the media, newspapers, public “pop” culture . . . and lost to a handful of “Samizdat” and to rock and roll.

"In the end it’s TRUTH and COMPASSION that matter."

There's the problem right there... TRUTH and COMPASSION are on opposite ends of the spectrum... One doesn't have a darn thing to do with the other. Truth is fact, compassion is how we feel about something... That, in an nutshell, is the BIG difference between liberals and conservatives... What we think is right, against their, "what they feel is right.."

I’m all ears. Big capital favors Democrats and will accept losses to put out their propaganda. Patriots don’t seem to have the deep pockets or willingness to do this.

Also good people don’t want to get their hands dirty with politics if they can make a nice living in the private sector.

Just look at what Kavanaugh went through. This is what’s in store for any conservative who wants to get involved in politics.

I keep hearing that, but how do you get your message across when the media either won’t cover it or will mischaracterize it?

And people running for office should be well aware of this, preferably before the election.

Either Republicans and conservatives adapt to a more pronounced media bias, or they will get rolled.

Trump is trying to show them the way, but I don’t see many Republicans adapting to it, maybe with the exception of Lindsey Graham.

If it’s not apparent (and not addressed to you specifically), I’m pretty unsympathetic to claims of the media favoring Democrats, Liberals, etc. Because they do - it’s what many of them do.

Knowing that, people running for office need to have a plan. It seems like many did not (or at least a plan that was successful).

These suburban democrat Women are looking for an escape from their pampered lives.

Rebels for sex, destruction, just for the drama that places them at the center of attention.

In Chicago as long as the trash is picked up the voters support the Machine.

Our taxes support it since its campaign workers’ jobs depend on Demon control.

Now the Demons’ are attacking Conservative spokesmen like Tucker Carlson.

It is already dangerous to support the President in great numbers of cities and towns.
