How Will the GOP Appeal to the Largest Voting Bloc: Women?

[Revoltingest]

Sometimes what is claimed to be done with humor is anything but as we see in various denials from politicians.

But if you'd quoted my entire post, thereby giving
full context, you'd enjoy better understanding.

As long as the liberal/left keep pushing on about the supposed reality of the White Patriarchy and that white women are complicit in the sins of said patriarchy, perhaps because they benefit from access to its spoils, there is no telling how long this divide will go on. As long as the right ignores this ideological albatross the bird will continue to fly.

I don't see the left putting any blame on white women.
While that would be implicit in blaming whites, the party
would suffer were it made explicit. It's a victim olympics thing.
So other groups must be disparaged, eg, old white men....
...like you!

If ever you find yourself voting Libertarian, I'll have won.

When Humanity 10.0 is released and people are overwhelmingly honest and honorable, I will vote libertarian of some stripe or other. Humanity9.5 is not that way so the need for government is still very strong and even growing.

So my not quoting rolled up newspapers is seriously significant? Hmmm.

Dishonesty & incompetence are among the reasons I'm a Libertarian.
People with such traits should have less power over us.
Humanity 10.0 just might set the stage for successful socialism though.

Wrong post, Fido.
#13 was the partially quoted one.

Classic. Absolutely classic. We identify Humanity 10.0 as the basis for a flip in positions.

The GOP is no longer interested in "appealing to" anyone. They're going to lie, cheat, and steal their way to power supported by their criminal corporate bosses and the fascist wannabes that will support them no matter what.

So far as I know the 2018 shift in more women voting Democratic was led by college educated white women.

For years, women of colour have overwhelmingly voted Democratic, but white women have overall tended to favor Republicans. In 2018, however, college educated white women broke heavily Democratic in House races, while non-college white women more or less held steady -- so far as I've been able to find out.

Why did so many college age white women pivot Democratic? In a word Trump.

In a few non-House races, however, white women as a whole continued to support Republicans by large margins.

Here's a couple of my sources:

White Women's Complicated Role in the 2018 Midterm Elections

 

[Nakosis]

According to exit polling in the recent election, women voters outnumbered men by 52% to 48%.

And according to surveys conducted prior to the midterms, women likely-voters preferred Democrats over Republicans by a margarine of 56-40%.

For the actual election, exit polls cited by Pew found a slightly larger percentage of women preferring Democrats over Republicans, 59-40%.

So how do Republicans plan to stop this leakage of women voters to Democrats? What policies do Republicans propose that will attract women? Trying to get the ACA repealed or struck down (and lying about doing so)? Appointing more judges accused of sexual assault to the bench? Defunding Planned Parenthood, along with the other measures of the 4-point plan of the AHCA?

Republicans seem to be running away from the largest voting segment. In the new Congress, there will be fewer Republican women than there were in the previous Congress, declining from 27% to 19% of the women in Congress.

I don't see a way to either ignore or spin these figures so as to suggest that Republicans have hit upon a winning strategy for the future. Trump may have energized the base--but not the one he wanted to energize.

I think the world will be much better when women are able to achieve greater political and socio-economic power. I have no doubt that the US would function better if the ratio of women-to-men in Congress were switched from what it currently is--like, 70% women, 30% men, or whatever. I am a feminist. I am generally happy to be told what to do by a woman. For the most part, I need women more than I need men. I need men to fix plumbing and dislodge rusty bolts, and I also tend to want to marry the cute ones. Even before I finished that sentence, I was reminded that I am married to one of the cute ones, who, unfortunately, is not terribly good at fixing plumbing or dislodging rusty bolts, but is quite handy when I need a mathematical theorem, and otherwise he does wonderful things for me. He's a feminist too.

Anyway, my questions are above.

IMO Republicans need to encourage more women to get into business. Maybe offer tax incentives or fund seminars to assist women to start their own business.

In fact I'd encourage the first lady to get involved. Have meetings with successful business women. Have mentor programs and create ads encouraging woman owned companies.

That said, my own experiences as a woman tell me that the liberals/Democrats only like women who march in lockstep with their agenda.

Women who think for themselves are probably more likely to lean right.

MY problem with the left is that it thinks so LITTLE of women.

So, you think that all those women elected as Democrats, and all those women who voted for Democrats, are really stupid women, right?

And I suppose all those black people, as well as all those Hispanic people who also voted Democratic, are really stupid blacks and Hispanics as well, right?

As evidenced by the above, I think we can see why so many women, blacks, and Hispanics have decided to not vote Republican.

I find that you have keen insight (your being utterly wrong notwithstanding).

I think that they are marching in lockstep and not thinking for themselves, yes. I suppose you think that any woman who disagrees with the liberal agenda is a really stupid woman, right?

That's certainly the reaction I get whenever I disagree with someone on the left. It doesn't matter how many things I may agree with them on...if I disagree on ANYTHING, I'm automatically a mind numbed Nazi robot without a brain in my head.

I'm a bit tired of it.

 

[Sunstone]

White women have been showing steadily decreasing support for Republican presidents since the days of Reagan when 62% of them voted for Ronald, to the days of Trump, when only 51% voted for Donald. 2020 could be the first election in which a majority of white women vote for the Democrat.

Except that I have never made such a claim, so it appears that labeling and stereotyping people while putting words in their mouth is somehow "moral" in your book. Instead, it is you, not I, that's implying others are stupid of they don't vote a certain way. Seems that honesty is not your forte.

That's certainly the reaction I get whenever I disagree with someone on the left. It doesn't matter how many things I may agree with them on...if I disagree on ANYTHING, I'm automatically a mind numbed Nazi robot without a brain in my head.

Again, if you were to get off the stereotyping of people, whether that be left, right, or independent, then maybe people would have some respect for your positions.

I'm a bit tired of it.

Then be honest yourself.

It seems that you have forgotten your history as LDS used to be highly persecuted both politically and religiously in the past, and it wasn't those who were conservatives that were willing to accept you as equals. It is common knowledge that the various civil rights movements were supported by those on the left, not the right. Up until FDR, is was the Republican Party that was more liberal, but after FDR, and especially after LBJ, it was the Democrats that have been much more pro-civil rights. Also, I am a fiscal conservative myself.

BTW, between Jesus and Trump, which do you believe in? It simply cannot be both, so what's your choice?

From an India perspective, I've read that we're exiting the Kali Yuga where men dominated and moving into the Sat Yuga (golden age) where women come to the fore. We're seeing the emergence of women in political, economic, scientific and other spheres now.

Oddly, it does seem to me that there is a sort of worldwide phenomenon of women gaining a little ground recently, something that is slightly beyond the normal, smooth progress. It's about time for women to become more powerful in the world politically and socio-economically. It's far past time.

No doubt that would sound good to many people, but the fact is that very few people who start businesses are successful, and lots of women are simply not in the socio-economic circumstances where they can start a business, tax credits or not.

It seems reasonable to me that people who oppose an important facet of women's rights wouldn't be invited to a rally to support women's rights.

You proved her point. The tolerant left is terribly intolerant of anyone who doesn’t think exactly like they do. Why can’t women from both sides march together for equality? I guess from the liberal’s position some women are more equal than others.
