Summary

A video encouraging women to vote independently for Kamala Harris sparked outrage among conservative men, who called it divisive and “amoral.” The video highlights the gender gap that has widened between Harris and Trump, with recent polls showing notable leads by Harris among women and Trump among men.

Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”

Supporters argue it reflects real tensions around women’s autonomy, especially in conservative households.

    Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., joined the criticism Thursday, telling Fox News that Democrats are telling wives to lie to their husbands: “What kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed?”

    Ah yes, the guy who has cheated on multiple wives is talking about amorality and corruption.

      it’s not “cheating” if the husband does it. it’s “the wife is being frigid and insufferable and i had no choice but to fuck whoever else”

      from the party of “it’s not rape if he’s your husband”

      He’s not the only conservative paragon of virtue that’s having a hissy-fit over it either:

      Fox News host Jesse Watters said on the air last week that if his wife did the same as the women in the ad, it would violate “the sanctity of our marriage.”

      “If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Watters said, a remark that prompted many online to call him out for his marital affair, which he admitted to in 2018.

        Not just an affair, an affair with his current wife he was calling out. Who he started the affair by being a massive stalker and letting air out of her tires so she’d ask him for a ride.

    And just why does she have to lie about it to her “sweet” husband?..

      My wife would beat the shit out of me if I didn’t vote for Kamala, and I’d deserve it, and enjoy it.

    I’m willing to take bets that sometime in the Future there will be a call from Republicans for a new law that allows husbands to see how their wives have voted.

    To protect Family values… And to stop disharmony in the marriage…

    And, of course, to prevent voter fraud…

      Gotta stop voter fraud, by letting those who commit election interference and believe the system is compromised to control it. No way that could go wrong.

      They’ll pass laws that will give men an extra vote for each child they have (because they are “more invested in the future”) and while we’re at it let’s allow them to vote for the entire family to cut down on voting lines.

      If the Conservatives had their way, women would not be allowed to vote at all. Unfortunately, that still seems to be one of their goals. I mean, Trump and his henchmen have already made sure that women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies, which I have to admit I thought was impossible in a Western country. What makes you think they’re going to leave it at taking away women’s right to a secret ballot? These people want to reverse advances in civilization like women’s right to vote all together. That’s what conservative means to them: back to the Middle Ages. In this sense, they are little different from other religious extremists such as the Taliban. Their goals might be a little different but their means are pretty much the same.

        If conservatives had their way, men would vote on behalf of their wives and unmarried adult daughters.
