Christian Nationalism's First Item on the Agenda: Repeal Women's Right to Vote

Trump supporters’ calling for an end to women’s suffrage may be the canary in the coal mine for further drastic changes to the electoral system.

Right after the election, Pastor Joel Webbon, president of the Right Response Ministries, said that half of his vote was stolen from him by the 19th Amendment—that would be the 1920 amendment that enshrined women’s right to vote. As Webbon noted in his podcast, he does “allow” his wife to vote so that half of his “stolen” vote can be returned to him.

Webbon was in fact one of several influential Trump supporters who expressed disdain for women and women’s rights this month. Most of the others threatened women’s bodily autonomy, including at least one threat of rape. But even before the election, one of Trump’s former aides—co-founder of the conservative dating app The Right Stuff, John McEntee—posted a video in which he said, “I guess they misunderstood. When we said we wanted mail-only voting, we meant male: M-A-L-E.”
