Felon and rapist before a woman elected president...

[JT45242]

All you need to know about how rampant sexism and racism are rooted in this country.

Trump beat women twice. He lost to a man. He was less qualified than all 3.

As a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist he won the plurality of the vote against the black woman.

It wasn't policy. It wasn't that he resonated with some part of the voters.

Many American voters chose an unqualified, criminal, failure over a qualified black woman.

1. Some country we've got, eh? (n/t)

[arthritisR_US]

27. Pathetic and really in danger come to mind.

[sop]

2. Maybe Joe shouldn't have dropped out.

[Rebl2]

15. Have thought

about that recently. He was really pushed out by fellow democrats including Pelosi.

[Jit423]

3. The fact remains, though, that Trump was much less qualified than any black or female who ran for President, ever

That includes Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, and Rev. Sharpton.

[Tickle]

4. It was the economy

not racism or sexism. When I've asked people at work or in a conversation, that's what they've said. People from all walks of life voted for orange man because they blamed the Biden administration for their financial woes

[70sEraVet]

6. Yes, I've talked to people, too, about why they voted the way they did.

They always pointed to the economy. NONE of them admitted to being racists, homophobes, or White Christian Nationalists. Maybe, they just thought it sounded better to say it was the economy.

[Ray Bruns]

7. It's what racists, homophobes, misogynists or White Christian Nationalists always say.

[ECL213]

14. It might not have been the racism, homophobia or White Christian Nationalism...

but they were sure as f$#k ok with it.

[FalloutShelter]

8. I call bullshit.

Those folks you are talking to are using the price of eggs as a shield! They lack all moral center.
There were two words that should have decided this election for ANYONE; Rethug or Democrat.
RAPIST
TRAITOR
Everything else is an excuse for their own moral degeneracy.

The Democrats don’t have the power to fill the hole in the soul of America.
JMHO

[travelingthrulife]

16. Welp. It's the last good economy we will have for a long while.

Of course they are not going to say they are racists or misogynists.

[Skittles]

24. NONSENSE

seriously. WHAT do they think that corporate whore Trump would do to lower prices? HE DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT GROCERY PRICES.

[Ray Bruns]

5. This election made me very disappointed in my country.

I thought we were better than this. I was wrong.

[IronLionZion]

9. I hope our party doesn't take the wrong assumption and stop nominating women/minorities

or we could be like the UK where their women and minority leaders are conservative.

America's first minority president was a Dem and I hope our first woman president will also be a Dem.

[JohnSJ]

10. but of course are being told the election had "nothing to do with sexism"....... Bullshit

[enigmania]

11. There was an exponential

explosion of racism after Obama was elected. Shifted to misogyny when Hillary ran.

[tritsofme]

12. Harris being part of an incumbent administration with a barely 40% approval rating is what really baked her cake.

Had Biden stepped aside sooner, I think a competitive primary could have yielded a stronger candidate, but those aren’t the cards we were dealt.

[usonian]

13. Rather than endorse the "Dems screwed up" saw,

There were a lot of factors, all built upon lies that people swallowed.

And I won't take away from the main theme, that the person is scum.

Fascist playbook. "Look at those undesirables, not at me"

[Polybius]

18. Outstanding meme

I think I'll share on Bluesky.

[usonian]

20. Thanks ( and thank its creator)

I have several that I found which hit the nail on the head.

Looking .....







And my Christmas message to the morans and their golden calf.



Share.

[iluvtennis]

17. This - ABSOLUTELY CORRECT! n/t

[patphil]

19. I agree, many people will say it was the inability of Democrats to connect with the voters,

but that's just a cover story for their racist, misogynistic beliefs.
Policies weren't as important as they wanted us to believe.
So, they chose the monster, over a well-qualified, compassionate, strong black woman.

[GoYouPackersGo]

21. This country is ultimately guided, above all else, by various forms of hate.

It's just who we are as a nation. And I include myself in this. I hate Trumpers, for example. I hate every last one of them, including my (soon to be ex) wife's parents, and her brother, and all their lovely white, wealthy bible-thumping, Trump-adoring children.

[usonian]

22. K&R

Chinga tu maga!

[drmeow]

23. We have a racist and sexist

oligarchic leadership and media. They drove the narrative which gave the American people the excuse they needed to not vote for the black woman.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

25. J.C. equals Jim Crow.

Not a coincidence.

[Scrivener7]

26. Never underestimate the hatred America has for women.

I know it but I let myself forget it, even as the state of Texas and others made it mandatory to murder certain women

I won't make that mistake again.

[RandySF]

28. Especially women of color.

[Scrivener7]

29. Definitely, especially women of color.

Who, as a group, tend to prove themselves to be our best citizens over and over and over.
