In reply to the discussion: I wonder if the GOP figured women who are past their childbearing years [View all]pandr32
(14,307 posts)Many post menopausal 'conservative' women do support the Republicans still, in spite of their anti-woman rhetoric and policies, and in spite of increasing harm to children and families in the form of gun violence and terror. Higher housing costs and increased homelessness don't bother them either. Nor do bans on books and efforts to stifle education, access to healthcare, voting rights, and so on.
Maybe you're right--it doesn't affect them directly considering their age and likely established position in life. Why bother?
That is likely true for some. It is also likely true that right-wing media has convinced them they are being good, Christian women. So what if the once wore mini-skirts and listened to Dylan and the Grateful Dead? Protested the war? Took the pill? They aren't there anymore. Those days don't count.
I think some of the have convinced themselves they are still being rebels. They are fighting the nasty lefties.
