With reasonable confidence going to say Vance is probably not the type to support gay marriage or adoption. We all know the only babies that count are birthed by white heterosexual Christian Trad wives. Which makes him a hypocrite because his wife is Hindu but that isn't a surprise anymore. But he said that even though she isn't white, she's a good mom. and even though he thinks women belong in the kitchen, she's a big law partner who he met a Yale Law School. good for you, JD. now, if you can just extrapolate your comments to this entire country, you'd be in wonderful shape. or you can stay wherever you seem to be, right now. Trumpistan, i think.

Well that explains it! The Diocese of Buffalo is rapidly imploding, closing churches all over the place. The biggest driver is the lack of priests to run parishes - projections show we will soon have maybe 7 priests left (not really hyperbole). But will the church even consider letting lay people have more of a role, or *gasp* allow women to be priests, or priests to marry? God forbid, NO! Apparently they'd rather just burn it to the ground...

Apparently they'd rather just burn it to the ground... And that is when you realize that for too many it was never about Christianity, it was about the patriarchy sanctioned in the Bible. When religious men comment to me that it all falls apart, i.e. if women were in the priesthood or similar, I decide they aren't religious or Christian at all. Because if you miss the big idea of the New Testament, God so loved the world he sent his son to die for us, and think it's about you being anointed to head the church and your family, you have more issues than I care to deal with.

Wait, doesn't that negate the strategy of increasing evangelical voters? Wouldn't it be a turn-off having a non-christian VP?

Or condone DT's garbage for that matter.

Or condone DT's garbage for that matter. Because Evangelicals are like many Catholics are like DJT. Appearance is more important than reality. I personally only know a couple of Evangelicals so I won't speak for them. But DJT is using the Christian nation thing so he wants them all under his voter umbrella. Its much like back in the day, if you were divorced, you could not hold any leadership position in a Baptist church no matter what. Yet, because abortion, many Evangelicals are embracing a two timed divorced man, who openly admits he cheated on those wives, a known felon, etc. cuz "babies". Which most do not give a crap about once they are born. Its not about being Christian and it never was. It is about some imaginary shared cultural values like celebrating Christmas and for some treating gays like crap. And no abortion even though its impossible to stop spontaneous abortions whether they occur at home or in the hospital. Its about the feels and the fears.

Women can be just as misogynistic as men sometimes even more so. I mean look at Ben Shapiro's wife who agrees that if you have a WAP during sex something is medically wrong with you. She's a gynecologist! She's supposed to know how the female body works!

Vance’s wife came forward to support him, saying that he didn’t mean all women without children are bitter old cat women - he was only directing those comments at women who decided to remain child free. He was not directing those comments to all the women who tried to get pregnant and couldn’t. I guess those women are sad old cat ladies, but not bitter old cat ladies.

Because that somehow makes it better?! I am surprised her pants didn't bust into flames on stage. It just boggles my brain that a fellow woman will stand up there and say shit/agree with shit like that.

And republicans are apparently calling Walz, "Tampon Tim." That's the way to persuade undecided women to vote for them. I guess I am just not smart enough to understand politics

It benefits Vance's wife to be sexist despite working against her own best interests as a woman because it gives her what she thinks is a seat at Trump's table and makes up for the fact she has two strikes against her (Hindu and non white). She's at least closer to the head of the table than those awful feminists. That doesn't mean my brain accepts the fact. I'm one of those gosh darn liberals that doesn't buy into the idea that life is a pie and I need to make sure I have the biggest piece and nobody else gets any.

These people believe life is a zero sum game. Someone wins, and if you are not a winner, you are a loser. Trump is the perfect manifestation of that. So half a loaf is better than none. And if you debase yourself enough, you get rewarded with some crumbs. Its way the racist tropes work so well on poor white folks. They are at least better than someone. My life sucks, but someone else has it worse. Awful way to live your life, but that is what they believe. If you believe that the odds are stacked against you, you just accept what you get.
