      Yeah, it takes a whole lot of misogyny for a man to look at this dude’s actions and statements over decades in the public eye and still arrive at the opinion that Donald fucking Trump respects women.

        None of them accept facts. They say they do but they reject them. Half of my friends I’ve known since before politics mattered to us ended up on the misinformed Rubepublican side. If you give them facts (like adoptions rose by 52% when gay marriage was legalized in the 90’s) they just reject them or ad another criteria. The guy we were arguing with said gay couples don’t make a difference because older children still have a hard time getting adopted, what?

        These people aren’t interested in good faith arguments or any evidence presented. They’ve figured out subconsciously that reality does not align with their viewpoints and are primed to reject it. Idk what you do when a good chunk of your population gets like this but we need to do something to get these people out of these harmful misinformation circles.

        That’s just it though, they don’t look at decades of history, or even what happened yesterday. They only look at what trump and friends tell them in that moment. Whatever they were most recently told us what they believe. That’s how they can flip opinions so rapidly. So, if Fox or Trump said that trump respects women right before they took this poll, then dag nabbit, he does!
