    ...in the midterm elections from the Kavanaugh confirmation? Will women show their anger/disapproval by voting in more Democrats?

    Will they burn their bras on the white house lawn as an act of defiance? If yes, I might go attend that in observance.

    I know trump figures Brett is a huge win for him. I think what he doesn't realize is the damage he's done to the republican party is going to equate to a big loss for him and his party.

    If by damage you mean bringing them all closer than ever, sure.

    Hard to say. It will certainly energize the vote for both sides. I can't imagine women who are drinking his kool-aid would suddenly change their mind, but people on the fence about him(as more probably are than social media would have us believe) might be swayed depending on their perspective. But at this point, with Trump having his own record of sexual grievances, the presence of some more of them on a less front-and-center politician is probably not as shocking as it once may have been.

    For the most part, people have seemed to view the Kavanaugh thing under predictable partisan lenses. Those who oppose Trump(and Kavanaugh himself) didn't want Kavanaugh even before the allegations. Those who do support Trump would have probably accepted Kavanaugh even if Satan himself dropped him off at Congress for his testimony, smacked him on the butt, and said "Win one for Dad little buddy."

    There's really nothing surprising here.

    How so? The vote looks dead even to me: 49/49.

    That certainly is in keeping with the trend I posted on #4.

    The original image I posted was not all women, but just white women, and that was what I was responding to. So I was never talking about "all women." Just the white ones. So I was correct in what I said and you apparently didn't look to closely at the first or second image I posted.

    Class dismissed.

    I figured women mostly voted for Democrats anywhere. Because of all the giveaway and handouts they offer.

    Still a fewer seats lost than Obama midterm. It appears college educated women succumb to the propaganda enforced on them in college. Those not exposed to the propaganda vote based on American values.

    My post was about white women. Demographics do matter in politics.

    A lot of the climate hysteria certainly is propaganda. Bet you fell for a lot of it.

    You still haven’t pointed out the propaganda you speak of. You just throw the word around . I know people think evolution is propaganda. I know people learning about the holocaust and slavery think it’s propaganda.

    Seeing how all the hysteria is based no the least likely worst case scenario computer model RCP 8.5 even though observed science is not showing anything close and those pushing the New Green Deal is calling climate change by the new scary names of climate chaos and climate crisis then yes, it is propaganda.
