thats why

So the reason why they're so against women, gay, drag, trans was that they want to be the only drama queens around?

You hit the nail on the head.
Projection is a requirement to be part of the GOP
Voter and voted are not the same.
It shows that the ones who are so against women, gay, drag, trans were easily distracted by superficial showmanship. It's actually sad that they can't perceive inner values.

Nominate a woman that people actually want to be president and then maybe we can talk.

AOC, for example, is filling football stadiums in red states.

Oh ya know... It's not her turn. There's like 6 people you've never heard of ahead of her.
- Taking turns and democracy are directly opposed.
And make sure they're not flagrantly carrying water for a genocidal ethnostate during the run up to the election. Preferably they will be sane and won't support that kind of thing at all. But this is America, we're currently being led by a dementia addled gameshow host. Sanity is sadly not a prerequisite for the job.
- Though she was also pressured successfully into largely adopting talking points from zionist apologia. "Right to defend itself" and all that.
To be fair, AoC wasn't eligible yet until last October.
- I can't help but think that her beauty wouldn't steal some votes at the very least. I'm not trying to be sexist, but I acknowledge that sexist views exist. And even on a base human level, I'd rather look at AOC than trump. That's before looking into their "souls". So if someone were to be in my fucking face 24/7 on all networks, I'd much rather it be a beautiful woman with intelligence and morals than a toxin-covered toad man with no personality other than grabby little hands.
- Indeed.
Consecutive terms should be eliminated.
If there is no "incumbency advantage", there will be no excuses to "we cant hold a primary because we 'lose the advantage'" bullshit.
- There's really no excuse here, incumbency or no.
  They knew Clinton was unpopular because she first lost to Obama and they had to rig her primary against Sanders. Harris couldn't even beat out Tulsi Gabbard in a primary and the president demanding that she be crowned the candidate has evident dementia.
  Say what you will about Donald (and I don't like him either), but he wasn't so weak that he had to forego the primaries)
- Just make primaries mandatory. Banning consecutive terms is not going to accomplish anything worthwhile. The good things it does are more than matched by the bad, plus it's a literal limit being placed on democratic choice.
  Americans are still searching for simple answers in the form of rules. 'If only we had this rule, then Trump wouldn't have happened. '. Trump or someone like him was the inevitable result of festering sicknesses in American culture. There are no rules you can come up with that can protect you from that without addressing root causes.
Right. And to be clear, you can have insincere boring male candidates just the same. Look at old Biden (VP Biden is somewhat different). Or look at Tim Kaine. No authenticity. No charisma. No backbone.
- My car has no charisma but its got years of character.
The problem with AOC though is her name sounds like an acronym, which makes her sound like an institution (like a super PAC). It’s a dumb thing to complain about but affects people’s first impressions if they aren’t obsessively researching candidates.
- AOC is literally an acronym. That is not her name.

They reached the most sensible, logical conclusion: deport musk and impeach trump.

Fuck it. Impeach Elon, and deport trump as well, while we're at it. Deport them both to Afghanistan, since that wouldn't be cruel or anything, right? Just sending people wherever you feel like it.
- Didn't one of Trump's grand or great grandparent come here illegally? Sounds like he needs to visit El Salvador
- send them both to the moon

If Elon said that about epstien that means he knew the entire time and chose not to say anything

“Imagine how much worse it would have been if it was women?”

~~Why do you choose to be a misogynistic dick when you could just shut your mouth?~~
Alright, Gotcha, and I appreciate your position

POV: When you attempt sarcasm without the tag: ⬆️
misogynist w a female cat? hmmm
- I’m proud that the misogyny was called out so quickly and strongly. It should never be tolerated.
I wouldn’t elect you for any reason whatsoever.
- oops, I dropped my /s

Anger isn't an emotion - it's alpha male psychology, or something? Honestly I lost track while laughing as two of the worst people on Earth started going at each other like a pair of angry cats.

How is anger not an emotion?
- That was sarcasm.
  You know how parts of the manosohere like to claim men are the voice of reason incarnate and women shouldn't be trusted with any responsibility because they're too emotional?
  Part of that facade is to act like anger isn't an emotion, because when they suppress "unmanly" emotions like sadness and fear, they tend to channel them into anger instead.
I like you.

Earlier today my wife sent me a link to an article about the Trump/Elon drama and compared it to our teenager's high school bullshit level feuds.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.

compared it to our teenager’s high school bullshit level feuds.
Pretty accurate, these losers never mentally matured past the age of 14.
It's just awful.

I had to look up what TDS is and for others, it's short for "Trump Derangement Syndrome", an epithet MAGA put on people they don't like to insinuate that they fear Trump and his ilk.

I assumed it was some ketamine side effect.
They also wanted to define this as an actual mental illness, because psychiatric care already isn’t weaponized against people with politically inconvenient views in the US enough.
- because psychiatric care already isn’t weaponized against people with politically inconvenient views in the US enough
  Holy shit I have never seen another person acknowledge this before, wild! And I should have by now considering I bring it up a decent bit (it's actually the biggest reason I don't support "mental health checks" for gun purchases, as it would be weaponized against trans people immediately like they already do with purchase/carry permits against black people. And don't think Dems are going to help with that at all, they'll actively help the republicans suppress minority gun rights just because "gun bad," doubly so because they also have recently abandoned trans people. And imo trans would only be first, who knows what group would be next.) It just gives them another avenue to deny rights to people they don't like.
I thought it was tiny dick syndrome
They're trying to redefine Testosterone Deficiency Syndrome, like Disney "on ice"

self-destruction

To be fair, I feel like almost everyone I’ve ever met would be too emotional to be president.

We failed pretty horrifically at screening the bullshit out though. Like, god damn.

The greatest illusion of humanity is that reason is a default state.
We are hormonal meat beasts that require decades to tame to any productive end and even still we are all literally one phone call away from losing our shit completely.
- There’s no way I can handle a phone call of any kind. Honestly even a mildly annoying Teams message would probably be enough to send me off the deep end.
- Yeah this is why facts and evidence aren't that persuasive. We're all emotional first. All of us
- It's funny because just last week I had a work call with middle management were we ended up screaming at each other.

Eh, Patil of India was allegedly pretty corrupt, using government money to build a retirement home among other things. Park Geun-Hye (S. Korea) was jailed for corruption. We’ve had corrupt female corporate heads in the US, like Elizabeth Holmes. I’m not trying to butwhatabout at all, just that people in power are susceptible to corruption and fuckery regardless of being a woman or man. Per-capita, women are probably better, they’ve often had to work harder than men to reach higher office and don’t want to give anyone more fuel to muckrake on them.

dont think holmes count, and also its based on mysogyny why corporation put females as ceos just before the company is failing or collapses, there was aterm on reddit someone explained how the male BODs place a female in charge so she takes the blame for it. She dint become the ceo on her own, it was with another man is the reason why she was there in the first place.
- It’s called the “glass cliff”
  I don’t think Holmes qualifies for a pass, but yes, women can be used as the fall guy for corporations in trouble.

I literally never seen anybody say this outside of left wing people online complaining about people supposedly saying it like it's an epidemic.

If the only takeaway that the Democrats have from the 2024 election is that they lost because of racism and sexism then they're cooked.

Your life experiences don't necessarily reflect those of everyone else, FYI. I've seen and heard this or some other "women are too emotional/illogical/irrational/cryptic/ect too many times.
There are relatively recent studies/surveys, like this one (PDF) that suggest that a pretty significant portion of the population still feel women are too emotional to be in politics. 13% as of 2019 in that one.
While I'd think—or at least hope—that this is still going down overall, the rise in conservativism is definitely slowing the decline.
- But your study proves my point though. The percentage was 13% across all demographics back in 2018 when the study was conducted. If you actually look at at the graphs, they all show a pretty significant and stead drop over the decades. Well, 2018 was 7 years ago, so if project the data to the modern day, it's very likely that figure is in the single digits now.
  Even if we assume that the data remained steady since then, which it probably hasn't, then that means at least 87% of the population don't hold this view. That's not just a majority, that's an overwhelming majority. So while my experience is ancedotal, this shows that my experiences are actually unique but a part of much bigger societal trend.

Who is still making that argument? Seems like an out dated straw man.

You voted in a pair of drama degenerates and now you try to build some sexist agenda upon the bullshit those degenerates do.

Are you sure that you don't deserve Trump as a president?

I think they’re trying to do the opposite of build a sexist agenda lol. This is facetiously poking fun at the people who say women are too emotional to be president. Atleast that was my interpretation.
You are exactly the kind of person this post is making fun of and you dont even realize it.
Edit: Joined a day ago...hopefully you're one of the lemmy.ee migrators.
Trump is exactly what we deserve.
- I was happy Me Too was going on until I became a rapist/murderer/groomer by default. The sexism pendulum swings pretty wildly here. I just want a girl to reciprocate love and help with life but I can only find ones that are stuck in gender roles. I'm required to help clean but cutting the grass is a penis' job. The mower starts with a key and you sit on it. It's hot. I know. That's why I want help. I don't use my ball sack to shield me from the sun.
Who voted for Elon? I don't think anyone did. :)
- Anyone that didn't think they were voting for Elon whilst voting for Trump didn't attempt to understand the bare minimum about the vote they made.
  Elon was on the same stage as trump for months leading up to the election—it was crystal clear he would be part of the package
you do realize its woman calling them right, not men. and they do fight like what they hate due to thier mysogyny, do some actual article reading.
