Popular with the girls
Dan Balz at the Washington Post points out that Trump is not universally popular with women. Who knew?
Trump is doing nothing to mitigate the problem. Just the opposite. A man accused by multiple women of sexual misbehavior, he seems to take special delight in denigrating women, especially House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton. In one comment at a rally in Montana last Thursday, he mocked Warren and the #MeToo movement, and he also went after Waters.
And then there was the time he threw candy at Angela Merkel.
The latest Washington Post-Schar School poll, released Friday, highlights the differences in the way women and men see Trump. Overall, the president’s approval rating among men is 54 percent positive and 45 percent negative. Among women, it’s 32 percent positive and 65 percent negative.
So what have the 32% been smoking?
They are high on Jesus!
My mother would have been in that 32%. She felt the greatest threat to life was working women/feminists (she conflated the two, though there is not 100% overlap, and there are stay-home wives who are feminists). She believed a woman’s place was in the home. As for grabbing women? I suspect a lot of them feel that the women asked for it by being out of their place, working in a “man’s job” in a “man’s world”, and that Trump was just acting on natural male instincts.
I’d say they’re high on white supremacy, but that’s pretty much indistinguishable from white American Christianity, so I’m not really disagreeing with you, iknklast.
So what have the 32% been smoking?
Stockholm syndrome lites
Hell, I’m appalled at the 54% of men.
