The female trumplorables are particularly sad. Wearing shirts with "grab this" and an arrow pointing downward? My brain hurts.
This week is ripping whatever thin veneer of respectability they had and exposing the baseness of their motive. Now they shout "lock her up" about Donnie's accusers as well as Hillary. All females.
I'm going to be sick if this election isn't over soon. Civilization itself is truly at risk.

Now, I don't have the stomach to google it, so it's heresay, but he's got it coming, with his own admission on the tv show.
This is the reality: Hate, hate, hate, and it's subconscious. It's not making any sense, because it's not rational.

(18,059 posts)I know a couple Trump voters and some who might vote Trump, and I guarantee you racism is a big factor.
These people are on a whole different psychological plane than reasonable, non-racist, non-sexist people. I think the big question we need to take from this election year, is how in the world do the sane people find a way to reduce the fear, victim mentality (it's the brown people's fault!), general lack of compassion, and general lack of cooperative spirit among these people. Because they're just going to come back to haunt us every election cycle until we find a way to reduce their numbers to irrelevancy.

(3,425 posts)How can they root for a person who thinks of them and all women as a sub human species. Do they not understand that they are included in the class of people that he despises, which is almost everyone. Either that or they are really so stupid that they do not realize that his contempt for them would surface the second he got elected. They really deserve a leader like him, but unfortunately we cannot allow them to get what they deserve.

(19,575 posts)really want trump's approval. I can't imagine why. Of course you and I know they will never get it. And it is so much more empowering to not care about his opinion at all. Then you judge him on his lack of merit. I get the feeling that some of these women do not believe that women should judge men.
