    I saw a video where a guy was basically saying “My big flex is that my wife doesn’t have to worry about cancelling out my vote” and that hit pretty hard.

    One of the most powerful ads I’ve seen recently was encouraging women to vote for what’s best for them because “your husband, friends and pastor have no way to see who you voted for”

    Its seriously disgusting to me that half the population has to have this kind of internal struggle and 30% of the country is somehow ok with that.

      I wouldlove to hear the perspectives of women living under these conditions. Have they spoken to other women about it? Their mothers or daughters?

      Do they assume that everyone around them is supporting the fascists, and that they are the only ones to secretly have doubts? Or do they assume that others have similar doubts, but they’re afraid of talking to them about it in fear of being snitched on, in proper 1984 fashion?
