Republicans keep digging a deeper hole with these crucial voters [View all]

Oscar-winning actor Julia Roberts broke Republicans by narrating an ad encouraging women to defy their MAGA husbands and secretly vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The outrage is just another example of how the conservative movement, now thoroughly influenced by GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s MAGA contingent, is run by incel men whose political sensibilities were defined by the sexist Gamergate scandal and the online cesspools of 4chan and 8chan. It’s the reason the movement’s adherents are so drawn to Trump, who at a Wednesday night rally threatened to “protect women” … “whether they like it or not”— just like he bragged about grabbing them “by the p-ssy.”

And four days before the election, Republicans just can’t stop digging themselves into a deeper hole when it comes to women voters.

As Politico reports, women are heavily overrepresented in the early vote with a consistent 10-point gap across all the battleground states (55% women vs. 45% men). This, by itself, doesn’t mean that Harris will win, but given that women are significantly more Democratic than men, the more of them vote, the better. And Democratic candidates are certainly bringing out younger, browner, low-propensity female voters.
