There were plenty of women who voted against Clinton who said when asked how they could vote for Trump after the Access Hollywood tape that they didn't think a woman should be in charge. The US has an inherent misogyny, and it is showing up again tonight. Depressing stuff. Especially when the other option is the worst kind of man and they still choose him
Yeah but that mindset of female voter would be republican through and through anyway mate - I could be wrong but don't think that's gonna be the reason she loses (as it looks likely now), I think it will be trotted out in the media as a driving factor though.
I'd also say this forum isn't a true reflection or close to it of the USA - obviously, pretty much to a man/woman the posters from over there are very much Dems so naturally anti Trump - the pro trump people seem to be either WUMs or crackpots like emir, cork etc.
But there's a reason why Trump looks like getting back in even with all his baggage that goes way beyond misogyny etc, clear there's now an absolutely huge political divide there. And it's not just crackpot MAGA people but 50% of the country and especially the north south divide.
How is it fixed - that becomes the pertinent issue, but not sure I give Trump credit alone for creating it, I think he just capitalised on a divide that already was there waiting to be pulled side open.
Who he appoints will be critical to how 'Trump' he will go now, first time he had himself surrounded by people who neutered him on many things, does the same happen again or does he surround himself with loyalists. If the latter then it's going to be a damned scary time for the world with an unfettered Trump in charge
