The president is vindictive, vey vindictive.

Most politicians are psychopaths and could care less about anyone but themselves. They will act like they care, say they care, convince people they care, but that is all part of the façade that psychopaths put on to fool their prey. Literally buying votes from the mouth-breathing lemmings. Bailouts, freebies, identity politics, etc.

Gender is just another identity group that politicians prey on.
Do you feel your wife or daughter should be forced to give birth against their will if they become pregnant from being raped?

Who said I was a Trump guy? I didn't vote for him and I think he has character issues. Thought I don't think he's evil.

I may be forced into voting for him if the left continues to radicalize.

Ooooook.

In that specific instance, no, I don't. But I'm not sure how that is related to my original point.

That is correct, the only thing politicians care about are re-election and pay raises.

I just wondered because you keep slamming the "Left", so I assumed you didn't agree with their stance on abortion rights.

Things aren't black and white. Do I think abortion should be legal in certain cases? Yes. But do I think killing a baby should be celebrated (like some apparently do)? Of course not. Do I think late term abortions should be legal? No.

Things aren't as simple as yes/no. Context matters.

But, that's one specific issue. My initial post lamented what I see as the left (and some on the right) trying to divide us by gender. This isn't an abortion debate. Not sure why you're on this tangent.

What is amazing to me is how a lot of women also think only men are capable of running this country.

We men have not exactly done a stellar job of running this world......wars, upheaval, huge divides, etc. Personally, I kinda think things would be a little more sane under women. As we all know, it is mom who glues the family together, so why not give them a shot at running this country ?
Not buying it for a second. Humans are humans and power corrupts. Women are in no way immune to it and are just as likely to be a raging arsehole as a guy in power.

I went to our local Democrat caucus in 2016 and there was a woman in her mid 30's who told our group how excited she was to vote for Hillary because she is a woman. She also called herself a minority for being a woman. I wish I was making it up...

I'm not a conservative and tend to favor democrat ideas far more often than republicans, but I won't hesitate to say the left thinks stereotyping straight white guys negatively is perfectly fine. They do that while getting outraged constantly about the slightest hint of stereotyping anyone other than straight white men.
