I haven’t been
able to post for a couple of months because of Trump burnout.I am exhausted.Before I can become outraged over any single
atrocity committed by the Trump White House, another and another and another
have been perpetrated.A daily series
of scandal and ignorance appears the norm. I have paid too much attention to something I
have no control over.
I need to
put everything back into perspective - I need to go back to zen.
It is what
it is and it will be what it will be.
Or I could just smoke a joint. That could work too.
Considering the
comments of Donald Trump, it is beyond comprehension that any woman
would vote for him.
Over
fifty percent of the US population is female; and if that fifty percent would
unify, they could change politics in this country for decades to come.
But:
Thirty
percent of the Republican Party are fundamentalist Christians, so we can
extrapolate that thirty percent of Republican women are fundamentalist
Christians. As with any cult,
fundamentalist Christian women are easily led, low information and vote
according to cult's dictate: in this case the Republican party, since everyone
knows that Democrats are Godless liberals.
An
additional fifteen percent of Republican women are married to misogynistic,
racist, homophobic, gun nuts and will vote according to their husband’s
preferences.
Then there
is probably ten percent of Republican women that are staunch political
partisans and would vote Republican if the nominee was Pee-wee Herman.
Add in
another ten percent that will vote a Republican ticket because their friends
are Republicans, and you have sixty-five
percent of Republican women that will definitely show up to vote for Donald
Trump.
All
Democratic women are outraged by the misogynistic comments of Donald Trump; but
likely less than fifty percent will actually show up and vote.
So we might
say that women would elect Donald Trump.
