Yeah, but there are a LOT of white women in the south.

Absentee ballots are cool and all, I'm sure southern husbands and fathers love being able to 'check everyone voted properly'.

I get your larger points, but do you really believe millions of women had their vote "verified" by their brother or husband??

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I 100% guarantee it.

Understand dominionism, those men think they're doing their job sheparding their flock.

These are the same chucklefucks who still do purity rings and dad-daughter “promise” dances, yeah the attitude of women as property still exists in large swaths of this country

Why didn't they do this in 2020?

The religious wacko part or the voting? The former has been going on for a loooong time, the latter I think is a combo of voter apathy, intense propaganda and the result of decades of planning by conservatives who hated having to abandon Deutchsland for Argentina

but are those women so feeble that they just did what they were told? In PA MI WI??? This reeks of hacked elections.

I really think you underestimate the frequency of rural domestic abuse.

You know, I read shit like this and even though they had their fuckups, I recognize my parents did some major things right. We had family voting might, amicably discussed the candidates and issues, and then they showed us you could knowingly vote differently and still be a loving family.

Open fascists weren't on our ballots until recently which made disagreement significantly more palatable. Talking about the rest of the ballot tho, honestly on some measures I don't care that much and others in my family do. I'll gladly lend my voice/vote on issues my family cares about if they'll do the same for me (and they have).

Nixon was fash af. Reagan wasn't much better. The white Christian nationalism of the modern conservative movement has been around for a long time
