The suburbs, especially females, just aren’t what they used to be re: view of rioting

The suburbs hated the rioting of the late 60s so much that it led to a political realignment benefitting the GOP for 30 years straight, until ole slick willy came along and changed the dems to be more tough on crime.


Compare that to today. Women in the suburbs are far more horrified of mean tweets by Donny T than Kenosha business owners getting assaulted and entire blocks up in flames.

I just don’t get it. Suburban women wouldn’t have strayed from Nixon and Reagan re: tough on crime even if those 2 presidents had a daily radio show where they said mean things.

I think social media has made Karen more concerned about fitting in with the clique than thinking for herself.

That's pretty much it. When you are judged by who you align with politically, they'd rather go along with the chaos than speak sane and be against it.

It's a disturbing trend and it's one that Trump should definitely feel the heat on.

I do think he will pick up more support in the south among Hispanics to essentially cancel out any suburban women vote Biden gains. But in the Midwest it will be really close.

I'm hoping there are a ton of "black out my insta" suburban moms that are going to virtue signal right up to voting for Trump

Although unfortunately I do know a couple former Republicans that are just all in on SJW shite.

To be clear, it's not actually ideological. Nor are they actually offended by Trump. But in this social media age, not-that-smart girls who spend most of their time preening for FB/Insta think they're suddenly more refined/intelligent/etc. by taking these stances.

The difference now is that most suburban women are college educated breadwinners instead of housewives, so they've been exposed to liberal academia. Then there's the pervasive influence of social media that everyone is a part of. And, the mom of the 60s was oblivious to the mindset of their hippie sons and daughters, whereas today's parents want to be on the same wavelength as their kids so they are more sympathetic to their progressive lifestyle.

White, college educated, middle/upper-middle income women, in my experience, prioritize empathy, compassion, and understanding in their lives and with their votes. They realize they generally have it pretty good and want others to share in that.

When you are constantly looking through the POV of other people, you are less likely to harshly judge their actions.

I think a point not to be overlooked is that their white, middle income men are not having their businesses destroyed. Riots aren't burning down the Lexus in the driveway or busting out windows in Raelyn's school (that he isn't attending). The damage being done by these riots is limited, largely, to destitute citizens of the inner city and black/immigrant entrepreneurs.

I'll say it again.... woke suburban white women will be the reason trump doesn't win. I don't know they got to be so easily mislead. I blame the need to fit in on social media....

What are you basing this on?

It's exactly the results of identity politics. When you convince someone that their identity: gender, race, politics, religion, sexuality; takes precedence over their individuality, it's over.

It's insidious in that it doesn't seem overtly political, but the dogma of identity politics is inherently political. As soon as a class identity has enough power to rule, you get a de facto authoritarian state where all opposing groups or views are eliminated or re-educated.

Karen’s life has been made incredibly safe and easy. She sits on her fat arse and skates through life with practically no adversity. Karen thinks her life is hard because feminism has told her so.

If our great nation falls, the #1 demographic causing it will be white, females, age 16-39

They are rioting in their own neighborhoods. When they get to Karen’s neighborhood she will speak up.

Becasue it isn't that hard to go to high school, then college, and then get a job as a teacher or nurse and make $60k per year and then marry a guy making around the same amount of money. Then they have around $3,200 net every two weeks. They think they made it big in life.

They then go to Facebook and go woke to fit in and for popularity because they aren't actually pushing for anything hard in life to become rich.

Why the absurd and incorrect take here?

The OP laid out a hard-to-argue-with premise, how voting habits seem to be shifting, due to emotional reactions by women who are ignoring some pretty stark facts about crime. Yet this is your take?
