Conservative pundits are in disbelief and outrage at the highly circulated video, which aimed to show women that their husbands can’t see if they vote for Kamala Harris.

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.

    What about the husband vote cancelling out the wives vote?

    Both humans have agency. If you are going to frame the issue as treachery, then the husband shouldn’t vote against his wife. Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?

    Fuck that.

          Well, they still believe you should get 3/5 of a vote for every piece of chattel you own.

          The south never changed, we just had the luxury to ignore them.

      They believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.
