Holy shit. “the slut vote”… wow. He manages to tie everything to “sluts”
I wish I found it hard to believe that someone would make this argument in this day and age, but I know these nutjobs are out there in depressingly large numbers… But at least the US has shown that while they may be loud, they may be visible, they are not the majority. These sort of nutjobs got put in their place in the election in most places, which makes me very happy.
And to get beyond this guy’s misogynistic views and to more general nutty far-right “values”. Voters punished candidates that made disgusting comments about rape with crushing losses, voted in favor of marriage equality in 4 states, legalized pot in 2, elected a lesbian senator. People on the far-right fringe must be shitting themselves over these sorts of results. It sends a message that this sort of extreme backwards thinking will not be tolerated, and it makes me very glad. Of course, now we get to watch flailing temper tantrums such as this one as they realize their views are considered antiquated and backwards, which will be hilarious and kinda depressing at the same time.
