Freeper tells his true thoughts:

A few minutes of scanning a few posts on freeperville uncovered this gem:

"Today’s elections in America died along with buggy whips in 1920. Relics of the past."

What happened in 1920, you ask?

The 19th amendment was radified.....Women's right to vote.

 

The 1920 United States presidential election was the 34th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 2, 1920. In the first election held after the end of the World War and the first election after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment (which gave equal votes to men and women), Republican Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio defeated Democratic Governor James M. Cox of Ohio. Both major-party vice-presidential nominees would later succeed to the Presidency: Calvin Coolidge (Republican) upon Harding's death in 1923 and Franklin D. Roosevelt (Democratic) after defeating Republican President Herbert Hoover in 1932. This was one of only six presidential elections where both major candidates had the same home state.

 



Interesting breakdown of election results... so much has changed in 100 years...

2. No surprise there,

that's who they are, they want to keep women "barefoot and pregnant", they think women are beneath the male species.

8. It's worse than that, they actually hate us

Sometimes their hatred of women is so thick you could cut it with a knife

12. I just cannot wrap my mind around the hatred the right has for women,

if baffles me as to why they are like that.
I grew up in a very conservative family, hell, I was a repuke until my first tour in Nam, after that, I became a dedicated Dem, but not once in my growing up did my parents nor myself ever think of women like that, I was raised to respect women, treat them as equals and have done so my entire life.

My other truck is driven by a lady friend of mine, whom I trust 100% to get the job done without any oversight.

39. It's not only the fundamentalists who have warped

Ideas about women.

It's across the board in all religions, except Wicca and sometimes the Satanists and atheists.

Every major religion is sexist, and it includes the liberal and not-liberal branches of them.

When the Church of England started ordaining women, the "meek and mild" and mostly "liberal' christians in their parishes had some of the biggest sexist fits about it one could ever see. Same thing with their cousins the Anglicans--er, Episcopalians here. The ones down the road from where I lived in the fricking 80s? The husband refused to let his scary-talented wife do anything outside the home but teach a few art classes at the school affiliated with their church. He was against birth control and abortion--for his family. So they had 8 kids.

He was a big time liberal Democrat, active in his party, and yet that was how he treated his wife. Because his religion made him that way. Wives were to submit to their husbands and all that.

I saw an article in a newspaper in 1999, with christian women of all stripes--liberal and not--hating on a previous article stating that christianity in particular was sexist over that submission mandate. Dozens upon dozens of women justifying being second class citizens and thinking all women should do as they believed, with every ridiculous excuse imaginable--because that's what their religion and their book taught them. Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, the DCC whatever it's called. They were no different than conservative christian woman about the matter.

I saw women of every liberal sect who had been so incensed over their religion being called sexist that they actually took the time to write that letter to justify their faith calling them lesser than men.

They were proud of holding that view--in 1999!

11. I've told this story on here before.

I took my past boss fishing a dozen years ago, I knew was a right winger, but if no politics were brought up he was a cool guy.

We were a couple hours in and he blurts out "this nation started going down hill when women became liberated" I turned my head away from him and mouthed WTF. THIS is what they truly think!

13. This is why I don't worry about a new Civil War.

These guys are such pitiful snowflakes that all we’ll have to do is stand on the ramparts hurling insults at them that denigrate they’re manhood. They’ll fold up like the cheap Dollar Store lawnchairs they are.

25. Not out of step with GOP mainstream candidates (John Gibbs)

Here in my home District, MI-3, the Republicans ran a guy, John Gibbs, who literally wrote this, “Some argue that in a democratic society, it is hypocritical or unjust for women, who are 50% of the population, not to have the vote,” Gibbs’ website read. “This is obviously not true, since the founding fathers, who understood liberty and democracy better than anyone, did not believe so. In addition, all people under age 18 cannot vote, although they too comprise a significant portion of the population. So we cannot say that women should be able to vote simply because they are a large part of the population.”

“We conclude that increasing the size and scope of government is unequivocally bad,” Gibbs added. “And since women’s suffrage has caused this to occur on a larger scale than any other cause in history, we conclude that the United States has suffered as a result of women’s suffrage.”

This is a guy Trump handpicked to run. He got trounced by an amazing liberal in Hillary Scholten, but still, taking away women's suffrage is definitely something the GOP would have no problem trying to do.

31. When fascists and creepers start talking about taking peoples rights away

I love to ask if they have been married more than once. Is the GOP going back to where women
are married off as children? Is divorce going to be recognized?
The New American Taliban is alive and well.

34. That freeper is no doubt spending his time on fundamentalist/radtrad and MRA/PUA/incel...

...forums on Reddit and 4Chan/8Chan/whatever-the-hell-they-call-it-now. Their party line about the 19th Amendment has been a favorite of these groups for years. Misogyny is now just a kneejerk response; it comes naturally for them. You also see it in the cultural strawmen they're always constructing: "blue-haired SJW college women", "militant lesbian HR executives", "crazy feminist cat lady", "soy boys". Now it's drag queens, trans kids, and fifth-columnist public school teachers. It's a free-floating hatred that is always on the attack, and it began to surface at the end of the Cold War and serves the same purpose for these people. (I first noticed it in followers of the late Sen. Jesse Helms as the Wall came down in Europe). It's also very dangerous, because it's no longer aimed at "reds" and "commies"; now the hatred is directed internally at their domestic enemies in this country.

FR's dinosaurian forum SW's Search function is pretty rudimentary, and maybe some accustomed to FR's environs would know how to use it, but I searched both "buggy" and "whip". I found nothing remotely resembling LPC Noob newdayneeded's claim. Lots of posts about Amish buggy collions, but ... . I had noticed, before doing the searches, that newdayneeded did not give a url for the supposed FR post, which is what led to doing the searches.

Because of my limited experience with FR's Search function, I won't say that LPC Noob newdayneeded's claim is false, but I do think it is dubious. Feel free to set me straight.

54. LOL.

Which just proves women are smarter than men

[Old n Grumpy]

Yup the dems love women so much they let men with lipstick and a dipstick compete with them in sports and let them into women’s toilets and locker rooms.

I'm curious how they can resolve the whole "Repubs hate wimmins" with their institutional inability to even define what a woman is, as well.

Nonsense. Now be quiet and go make someone a sammich.

The original Freeper has a point.  I have known women who chose a candidate because "he seems like a nice man."  Or look at the chicks who fainted for Obama, like some dreamy rock star.  These are not grounded policy decisions.  Plus you would not believe some of the absolute idiocy coming from liberal white women on twitter. 

[enslaved1]

Love how there is still no proof or request of proof that this actually was said.  The moonbats just get riled up and denounce the ebil misogynists while virtue signalling their own greatness and open mindedness.

Oh, please.
The DUmmies and other such leftists are such pitiful snowflakes that all WE'LL need to do is stand on the ramparts and refuse to refer to them by their "Preferred pronouns."
They'll launch into shrieking hysterics and give themselves fatal heart attacks.

This many days in, any DU-member who actually dared to ask for a link to the FR post would probably get a nasty PM from a Mod, maybe FFRed, if not MIRTed outright.

Wait, are right-wingers horribly violent and the biggest threat to democracy, or are they fragile and no real threat at all? Get your points straight, DU.

The power of doublethink, both are entirely possible, depending on what is needed to fit the current argument.
