Trump’s net approval ratings show a lot of things extremely clearly, but there is one thing that stands out against the rest.
Young, white females are in an exclusive position to stop MAGA. It may be one of the last nonviolent tools in the toolbelt.
Let me be clear, it’s BS that young white females have inherited this position. Unfair even. But it doesn’t change the cild, hard facts.
Young, white women. Sexuality and love are extremely powerful. If you are currently with someone you know is embracing fascism, you need to seize the moment. If you’re single, make fascist MAGA the first thing you discuss with any potential love interests.
Deprive those who would take away your bodily autonomy, your children’s future, your free speech…deprive them of access to decent, loving, intelligent women completely.
It’s already happening now (see: incels) and the rhetoric against women will get worse, but if an entire generation of MAGAs can’t get laid or find someone to pop out god fearing babies for them, things could actually change.
Yes, divorce your MAGA husbands. Break up with your MAGA boyfriends. Reject MAGA chud advances. Make it clear in your social circles that MAGA is disgusting and you would never be caught dead with one.
Obviously your choice is up to you. But if you fall into this category and you feel helpless, you’re not. You overwhelmingly reject fascist MAGA and you have a weapon that many do not in the peaceful fight against fascism. It could be one of the last.
Not to defend the Democrats or Biden for their inaction, but it would have taken some Republican support to pass a law to protect abortion. The last time the Democrats could have enshrined abortion without help from Republicans was under Obama when they held the house and senate majorities. If Biden did it via executive order, Trump would be able to undo it immediately.
In 2020 it was 50/50 in the Senate with Kamala as the tie-breaker.
House was 222 D to 213 R
We could have done it 2020-2022.

2022 we still had Senate, but lost the house.
Part of that was Biden’s inaction on abortion and other promises. But the main reason was the “victory fund” literally bankrupting state parties and prevent them from fighting for every seat
So…
Not only did you try to do that, you failed.
