Women support the GOP due to male influence
Kamala Harris’s message to women is condescending: If you’re not voting for me, it must be because a man won’t let you.
Her campaign perceives women as prisoners of their marriages and relationships, suggesting that the only path to freedom for a woman is through the Democratic Party.
The vice president particularly struggles with married women, as they favored Donald Trump over the Biden-Harris ticket in the previous election.
But what if those votes weren’t really from women? What if they were cast by women who were too frightened to express their own opinions?
Harris advocates Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney have been promoting this patronizing message recently.
“If you are a woman living in a household where your opinion is not valued, remember that your vote is private,” Obama stated to a Michigan audience.
Why does a woman need a former first lady to remind her of this?
According to Team Harris, any woman not openly supporting the Democrat is considered to be under someone else’s influence — possibly an oppressive husband.
A new ad from the pro-Harris group Vote Common Good presumes that women are afraid of their husbands and have to be sneaky to cast a rebellious vote.
Is this the view of marriage held by Harris and her allies? That wives are subservient?
It appears that in Harris’ vision, women are meant to be dependent on the party rather than on their partners in a marriage.
No wonder married women tend to vote Republican!
Despite the privacy of voting, the Harris campaign believes in stirring up political divides within households to secure victory.
A Democratic canvasser even approached a registered Republican lady hoping to sway her towards Harris, as long as her husband wasn’t around.
The Harris campaign does not respect the privacy of the home or even the bathroom, as they push their message in every possible space.
They are desperate for votes and seek to make women feel powerless unless they support Harris.
But women, whether married or single, are not powerless and do not want to be pursued everywhere by a campaign that seeks to break down their resistance.
Harris may be a woman herself, but she seems to want to take on the role of Big Brother, spreading a message of fear and paranoia that cannot be escaped.
Women are well aware of the privacy of the voting booth and don’t need Harris to remind them of this fact.
Instead, they may use their ballots to show their disdain for the Democrats’ demeaning assumptions in a public manner.
