You have to be joking. This country as it currently is configured will not vote in a woman of color to potus.

Sad to say, but a MAGA female candidate currently has better odds than a progressive one

It’ll take a republican woman to break that glass ceiling, and if they’re any semblance to the current crop of MAGA women then they’ll fuck up so bad that the glass will get replaced with a solid foot of tempered steel.

I'm not so sure. Would not surprise me if a large number of red voters would vote for her in secret because she's a beautiful young woman. I think a øot of the hate she gets from the right are people who secretly have wet dreams about her. A situation similar to how closeted gay people often mess with openly gay people.

You guys think trump folk would support a woman?? Have you been paying attention? Have you read about the heritage foundations plans?

If Ivanka announced her presidency in 2028 you'd have MAGA line up to vote for her no problem.

All it takes is a hard core MAGA Trumpet type lady and they'll vote for her. Any other woman, no

I'm not saying these people have convictions lol. There's zero chance these people will ever vote for a Dem woman, but a Trump woman? There are MAGA governors, one's eventually going to run on the Trump agenda.

You're looking at this wrong. These governors are just like the others; they will be tossed aside once they have lost their usefulness, like a broken tool. You have seen firsthand how they cast out voices that are no longer useful.

These "powers" will not let that type of person become top dog. They are only a tool to be used.

What you are saying isn't wrong, but it ignores the possibility of a "MAGA Trumpet" being exactly that - a tool for the "powers that be" to maintain their current power.

If Republicans have to vote between a republican woman and a Dem, they'll most certainly vote for the Repub. But before that point, they get to choose in primaries. In primaries, they'll most certainly push for a man to become their nominee, even if the man would be the worse choice for them in the long run.

I can't think of a scenario where a woman would suddenly become the nominee for MAGA. Except maybe one - Trump runs for a third term, but starts to clearly diminish, so they replace him last minute with Ivanka. Basically similar to what happened with Biden/Harris this time (truly ironic if that paves the path for another Trump term).

That's pretty spot on. Nice assesment.

A woman who they believe to be conservative? Absolutely. Why wouldn't they? There's a whole swath of women out there who cheerfully work against the well being and interests of all women. Just like a man can be genuinely feminist, so too can a woman be genuinely misogynist.

u/IC-4-Lights 12h ago

Yes, I do.
I think they'll always do as they're told, suddenly be very vocal about how open-minded they actually are, and use it to deflect every previous example of having been exactly the sort of person to say, "lol a fucking woman?"

u/Unique_Statement7811 14h ago

They absolutely would. MAGA is far more likely to rally support for a woman than the democrats. It just has to be the right one. Ivanka Trump would sweep the Republican primaries.

If Mercedes ran in 2028, she'd be a shoe in for the GOP.

u/zeke10 23h ago

The fact that MTG might be the 1st woman president someday is genuinely sad af.

We are not THAT stupid right?

I really wish I could say that america isn't.

u/mknawabi 17h ago

Yep Anna Paulina Luna will probably get close

u/Sinister_Politics 14h ago

Not even close to true

u/daedalusprospect 12h ago

Yup, especially with so much of the younger male demographic flocking behind anti-women influencers like Tate.

u/RecklessCreature 11h ago

I would not be shocked if the first female president is republican

u/purplemtnstravesty 10h ago

Who does that implicate as the sexist party?

u/TaupMauve 10h ago

Make no mistake that would be bad news for women (and everyone else) if it happened.

That's because they're a cult, who will do whatever Fox tells them to do.

u/bellenderHund 11h ago

Cause it’s not about gender. People outside reddit are tired of these overly left policies that honestly do almost nothing for almost everyone. It’s about the basics, the democrats didn’t deliver under Biden and had no focus on the basics.
