WHY DO REPUBLICANS QUESTION THE IQ OF OPINIONATED WOMEN LIKE ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ?

[Soph0571]

Republicans have been championing forced birthing and state control of the nation’s uteri for decades, but now the right-wing appears to have officially adopted the modern witch trial as the proper antidote to noisy Democratic women.

The witch trial of Hillary Clinton is the most famous right-wing ‘success story.’ By portraying a hard-working policy wonk, healthcare champion, and former Senator and Secretary of State as an evil witch, the Republican Party was able to bless this great country with a nationwide expansion of Trump University. Who needs a smart, ‘boring’ woman when a philandering male megalomaniac and bankruptcy-filing expert brings so much more to the table, right?

Now that Hillary’s punching bag expiration date has mostly passed, the Right needs other women to demonize, destroy, diminish and dumb-ify.

This Republican-Trumpian misogyny may be an effective strategy for the shrinking Trumpian base of angry white men and their concubines, but one can’t help surmise that repeated insults to half of America’s population (i.e. women—not to mention men who actually respect women) is…ummm...pretty stupid.

Last year, the author J.K. Rowling described the current Oval Office occupant as a “tiny, tiny, tiny little man.”

America deserves better than a Lilliputian President and his army of Lilliputian Republicans criticizing women for a living to the sad cheers of angry, insecure white men.

6. Bc conservatives are mostly all intellectual mediocrities themselves

Smart people are liberals, except for some wealthy businessmen (who are Republicans because it benefits their pocketbooks).

Conservative journalists, attorneys, judges, and politicians are mostly all dim bulbs that couldn’t hack it on the liberal side if they tried. Conservative mediocrities are boosted by wingnut welfare — money from billionaires that conservatives get as long as they’re willing to push the pro-billionaire line.

So it’s projection, as usual.

8. Right wingers are authoritarians
