Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she will introduce a bill to end H-1B visas, which allow companies to bring skilled foreign workers, days after Donald Trump backed the program.

      The first female president will be a Republican, and she’ll be horrifying. MTG might fit that bill.

        Have you been paying attention?

        Republicans will NEVER vote for a female president, women are supposed to be in the kitchen and getting children and be quiet, not become the president.

        Let’s first see if voting and democracy will still be a thing by then

      What kind of special insight does a former first lady have to the American electorate?

            It is very, very much on-brand for establishment democrats to ignore the multitude of well-respected, socialist or left-leaning politicians across our country, as well as the mandate that shows just how much people want inspiring leaders who want to help people, and go all-in on Harris/Newsom 2028.

            I’d stay out of public spaces if that happens tbvh… everyone jokes about the byproducts of unkempt male rage, yet it has defined all of human existence. Susan Faludi has an awesome book on the subject called “Stiffed” that peels back the curtain on what happens to boys who aren’t loved.

              We have simultaneously underestimated the massive force that is male sexual insecurity and how it fuels movements, and also way overplayed the minority of foul shits who scream their hate into the void.

              If a woman is elected president, there will be no end to raging lunatics online, but not any more than we have now, and there’s not going to be any more or less real-world violence as a result. People generally fall in line with whatever tone our current “leader” sets.

                Couldn’t agree more! They have mommy issues and would probably settle in well after an adjustment period

              I can re-write that book. Boys who are not loved go to 4chan and fester until they are ready for politics

                The book was written in the 90s before the internet was mainstream. Give it a read if you actually want some perspective on this cycle’s version of the problem. Heck, you might even be around for the next cycle after that, too!

      We’ll see if the monster she helped create crushes her, or, if for some bizarre reason trump doesn’t run again, Republicans hate Democrats enough to vote for a woman.
