Women of MN - What do you like about Trump?

[ShinyTime]

He couldn’t have been voted in without the support of women. As a non-Trump fan myself, I’m wondering what is it you like about him? This applies to non-US voters who favour him and would vote for him if possible.

Thank God I live in the UK where pro life is a vastly minority view, scary stuff on this thread

If you are "pro-life" and want the state to control women's reproductive function you should only be too happy to pay higher tax to support children who end up in foster homes and who will need the state to look after them - and to make sure they grow up into adults who are not a burden on society. Unless you want to have tens of thousands of abandons ill kids dumped in orphanages and massive crime problem from gangs of feral street kids.

Edited: that is, after you pass the small issue of scores of young females dying as a result of backstreet abortions. Look to Romania for reference.

Completely agree. What they did to Bernie was unconscionable.
Extreme liberals is exactly what they are. They are the "woke" ones obsessed with identity politics. Leftists care more about economic equality, not identity. The Democratic eslablishment does almost nothing about economic equality. After all, their donors are big corporations and they care more about pleasing them than they do about people. For that reason thet deserve to lose, but not to a monster like Trump FFS, and the GOP, which is now just a support system for the whims and wants of a loopy despot.

Women are already dying. Maternal mortality is up 62% in those redneck forced birth states. Infant mortality is up 13%. But we know they don't care about actual born babies, so that means nothing to them. Women dying means nothing to them either, so no, they won't care about back alley abortion deaths.
They should hang their heads in shame for what utter frauds they are. It's really about punishing women for their sexual behaviour. It has nothing to do with caring about "unborn babies."

I wasn't talking about you specifically. It was a general comment about how hypocritical Trumpers are.

Of course they dont give a shit about the actual babies. Or their unfortunate mothers. Its a horrid, capitalist/ evangelical take n religion - each for their own, no one is entitled to any help, God loves the wealthy, if you are poor and unwell its your fault and the sign that you have sinned.

I think the voters just want them to loose, not necessarily they support trump himself.

well count yourself lucky

Epic thrashing of the forced birthers. Love it.

Yeah I think you have summarised perfectly. unfortunate situation. Glad I’m not us voter. Don’t know what the uk will face next though.

Yeah, probably so in many cases, but that's crazy thinking. You don't vote in an evil man and his slavish henchmen to punish the Dems. They'll still have their donors and will regroup. So that will only be punishing people.

trump is just one person, it’s easier to deal with as he will have to operate within the boundaries and limitations of the power. If they vote for Harris, it’s a whole system they can’t fight. I think it’s crazy to continue to vote for democratic politicians, to pour tax payers hard earn money into things that don’t improve people’s lives. the situation must have been quite dire for the voters to react this way. I am glad I don’t live in the states.

Oh come on. Trump did not stay within the boundaries of his powers of office or of the law last time. He committed multiple crimes while in office and has so far gotten away with it. So he will be even worse now and if he's charged, he'll just pardon himself. He has said that is what he will do.
He is one person, but he has the Republican party backing every single crazy thing he does.

Pour money into what? What are you referring to?

I don’t think I can judge us situation than their voters. Given the level of defeat, there must be valid reasons, rather than a mere better campaign .

Fuck me… you don’t know how you feel about the death penalty for shoplifting? Sick.

And the death penalty isn’t for antisocial behaviour. Much as I’m sure you’d love it to be. How ghoulish.

It's a huge fallacy to presume there are always valid reasons for human behavior. Humans are irrational and often do things that are not even in their own interest, let alone the interest of society.

shooting shoplifter is not suitable - is it part of policy? I hope it's just a attention hook.

having talked with some friends living in the US, their reasons are understandable. I'd just keep an open mind and wait and see what will happen. hope for the best, nothing we can do anyway.

Agree that there's nothing we can do. Just thankful I don't live there, but I do live next door in Canada, and Trumpers have managed to export their craziness up here to some extent. They even funded and participated in a terrorist action on our capital. Hard to believe, isn't it? But it's the shocking truth.

😭I just hope my kids won't be in a war era. I don't care left right centre and who's who, just no war...

Aren’t your kids already in a war era?

not yet. getting too close.

The vast majority of abortions happen within the first 12 weeks.

It’s absolutely emotive and largely ignores science too.

Parenting is forever and can also come with regrets. We shouldn’t legally prevent someone, especially a woman from doing something just because she may come to regret it.

Laughable.

On June 5 this year, US Senate Republicans blocked a bill that would have protected nationwide access to contraception, defined as any drug, device, or biological product designed to prevent pregnancy. The fundamentalist constituency that makes up part of the core of GOP support is determined to see an end to contraception.

The mitigation by self care argument is utter bullshit.

And FYI, hormonal contraception is prescribed to control a lot of conditions affecting women, including but not limited to cystic acne, and women of childbearing age can't be prescribed Accutane without also going on the Pill.

There are clear legal guidelines. If a foetal heartbeat is detected, any medical treatment that stops that heart beating is deemed to be abortion.
